How is semen produced?

We call semen the liquid that contains sperm, as well as various secretions produced by different glands of the male genital system and that is expelled through the urethra of the penis during ejaculation.

Sperm are produced in the testicles and are stored and mature in the epididymis, a small, tightly spiral-shaped tube that connects to each of the testicles. For the sperm production and maturation process, which lasts about 3 months, to work, the testicles must be at a temperature approximately one degree lower than the rest of the body. For this reason the testicles stick closer to the body in winter when it is cold, and separate from it in summer, when it is hot.

During ejaculation, the sperm that were stored in the epididymis travel through the vas deferens, receive different fluids from the seminal vesicle and the prostate and, finally, this mixture of sperm and various secretions that constitutes semen, is expelled through the urethra.
