This list of related male and female reproductive organs shows how the male and female reproductive organs and the development of the reproductive system are related, sharing a common developmental path. This makes them biological homologues. These organs differentiate into the respective sex organs in males and females.
The main male sex organs are the penis and the scrotum, which contains the testicles that produce semen and sperm, which, as part of sexual intercourse, fertilize an ovum in the female's body; the fertilized ovum develops into a fetus, which is later born as an infant. The corresponding system in females is the female reproductive system.
Reproductive tract of a male macropod. Most male marsupials, except for macropods [19] and marsupial moles, [20] have a bifurcated penis, separated into two columns, so that the penis has two ends corresponding to the females' two vaginas. [7] [17] [21] [8] The penis is used only during copulation, and is separate from the urinary tract.

There is another benefit for a male kangaroo to have impressive biceps and a muscular chest. It impresses the females. Scientists have learned that female kangaroos are attracted to male kangaroos ...
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.
The male reproductive system is a series of organs located outside the body and around the pelvis 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. [3] The major reproductive organs of the male can be grouped ...
