epididymis
these are located superficially on the posterior margin of the testes. they are a long and coiled tubulewhich coils to use very little space, they fucntion in sperm stargae and maturation
ductus deferens or vas deferens
these are the ducts which connect the epididymis to the urethra
they turn over the ureters to hoin the urethra just anterior to where the ureters enter the bladder. their fucntion is to transfer sperm from the epididymis to the urthra during an ejaculation
inguinal canal
these are the pasageways through the abdominal wall in the groin of males through which the ductus deferens and blood vessels pass to the testes.
seminal vesicles
these are small glands and are located near the junction of the ductus deferens and the urethra. they produce some of the seminal fluid
prostate gland
this is a small gland which surrounds the junction oof the ductus deferens and the urthra. it produces some of the seminal fluid. to find the prostate gland, dissect between the seminal vesicles.
bulbouretral glands
a pair of glands near the base of the penis in the pelvic canal on either side of the urethra. they produce some of the seminal fluid. it is also called cowpers glands
penis
the male copulator organ located ventrally on the exterior abdominal wall just posterior to umbilical cord
ovaries

uterine tubes or fallopian tubes
these are the small ducts found between the ovaries and uterine horns. they are the passageways through which eggs reach the uterus. fertilization occurs in the uterine tubes.
uterine horns
these are the wider tubes located at the end of the uterine tubes and connected to the uterine body. embryos devlelop withing these tubes.
uterine body
this is the single, wider tubes formed by the union of the two uterien horns. the cervix is at its posterior end
vagina
