• Terminal part of peins is called glans penis.
2. Scrotum
• It is hanging out side of abdomenl cavity
• Scrotal sac is filled with a fluid called hydrocele.
• The scrotal sac communicate with the abdomenl cavity by a narrow canal callled inguinal canal
B. Internal genital organs
1. Testis
• It is primary sex organs, a paired , oval bodies.
• Each testis is divided into 200-300 testicular lobules by septa. Each lobules contains 1-4 seminiferous tubules.

• Divided into three parts- caput epididymis , corpus epididymis and cauda epididymis.
3. Ductus deferens or vas deferens
• Thick walled muscular tube emerges from Cadua epididymis and enter into abdomenl cavity through inguinal canal.
• Forms a loop around urinary bladder, and then joins ducts from seminal vesicles to form ejaculatory duct.
4. Spermatic cord
