• Explain the basic science of gametogenesis, conception and implantation of pregnancy.
• Describe the anatomic and physiologic changes surrounding the onset and cessation of reproductive function in the male and female.
• Explain the factors that influence fertility in both the males and females.
• Explain the process of gametogenesis.
• Identify the testes, epididymis, spermatic cord and how the testis descend during fetal life with a basic understanding of the inguinal canal.

• Understand blood supply, lymph drainage and innervation of the testis.
• Understand the descend of the testes and the formation of inguinal canal with a focus on direct and indirect inguinal hernia.
• Understand the seminal vesicles, its duct and the ejaculatory duct.
• Identify and understand the prostate, its lobes, blood supply, lymphatic drainage and innervation.
• Describe the penis (root, body, glans penis and prepuce or foreskin) corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum. Identify bulbouretheral glands (cowper's glands), blood supply lymphatic drainage and innervation of the penis.
• Understand mechanism of erection and ejaculation.
