Diagram of the male rabbit reproductive system with main components labeled. The adult male reproductive system forms the same as most mammals with the seminiferous tubular compartment containing the Sertoli cells and an adluminal compartment that contains the Leydig cells. [87]
Many mammalian species have developed keratinized penile spines along the glans or shaft, which may be involved in sexual selection.These spines have been described as being simple, single-pointed structures or complex with two or three points per spine (strepsirrhines). [1]
The mammalian male reproductive system contains two main divisions, the penis and the testicles, the latter of which are where sperm are produced and usually held in a scrotum. [5] In humans, both of these organs are outside the abdominal cavity, but they can be primarily housed within the abdomen in other animals.
Chromosomal abnormalities can occur during fertilization impacting the development of the male reproductive system. The genotype of the male consists of a Y chromosome paired with an X chromosome. Female sex is determined by the absence of a Y chromosome. Some individuals are male who have the XX male syndrome and androgen insensitivity ...
The male reproductive system is a series of organs located outside of the body and around the pelvic region of a male that contribute towards the reproduction process. The primary direct function of the male reproductive system is to provide the male sperm for fertilization of the ovum.
The hemipenis is the intromittent organ of Squamata, [4] which is the second largest order of vertebrates with over 9,000 species distributed around the world. They differ from the intromittent organs of most other amniotes such as mammals, archosaurs and turtles that have a single genital tubercle, as squamates have the paired genitalia remaining separate.

Baculum of a dog's penis; the arrow shows the urethral sulcus, which is the groove in which the urethra lies. Fossil baculum of a bear from the Miocene. The baculum (pl.: bacula), also known as the penis bone, penile bone, os penis, os genitale, [1] or os priapi, [2] is a bone in the penis of many placental mammals.
