Psa is a substance produced by the prostate gland, we should be testing for it because it leads to other tests, such as a biopsy which may be invasive and lead to adverse health effects. Transmission of sperm from site of production, help with maturation. Ducts transport, store and assist in maturation of sperm. Accessory glands secrete most of the semen volume important for nourishing and sperm survival. Urethra is the last of the ducts that releases semen. The penis and the scrotum attach to the pubic region called the root. Fibro-muscular sac which can rise or descend on environmental conditions.
