Sex organs in males
In the case of male reproductive system the primary sex organs are a pair of testes (singular: testis) lying outside the abdominal cavity, enclosed in a sac called the scrotum. The placement of testes outside the body results in the temperature of the testes being lower than that of the rest of the body, a condition favorable to produce healthy sperms.
Secondary sex organs in a male are seminiferous tubules, epididymis, sperm duct, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, Cowper's gland and penis.
