== Male Reproductive Tract and Reproductive Behaviour==
The anatomy of the male reproductive tract includes the [[Male Reproductive Tract -The External Genetalia - Anatomy & Physiology|penis]], the [[Male Reproductive Tract -The Testes and Epididymis - Anatomy & Physiology|testes]], the [[Male Reproductive Tract -The Testes and Epididymis - Anatomy & Physiology|epididymis]] and the [[Male Reproductive Tract -Accessory Sex Glands - Anatomy & Physiology|accessory sex glands]]. Males differ from females in the [[Male Reproductive Tract -Spermatogenesis and Spermiation - Anatomy & Physiology|production of sperm]] which takes place from puberty onwards - unlike females where ova are produced prior to birth. The [[Male Reproductive Tract -Spermatogenesis and Spermiation - Anatomy & Physiology|hormones]] controling sperm production, or spermatogenesis are luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

The [[Reproductive Behaviour - Nervous Pathway Eliciting Reproductive Motor Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|neurological pathhways]] that control reproductive behaviour are similar to the female, but the response is male specific and includes [[Reproductive Behaviour - Pre-copulatory Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|pre-copulatory]], [[Reproductive Behaviour - Copulatory Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|copulatory]] and [[Reproductive Behaviour - Post-Copulatory Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|post-copulatory]] behaviour.
