It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a biology worksheet with questions about the male reproductive system. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve the problem based on the text you’ve provided. Here's a breakdown and solution to the questions in your worksheet:
---
Question 1: What are the parts of the male reproductive system?
Instructions: Label the diagram using the terms listed below.
Terms to use:
- testes
- epididymis
- vas deferens
- seminal vesicles
- prostate gland
- urethra
- penis
- scrotum
*(Note: You should label the diagram accordingly. Below is a description of where each part goes.)*

Anatomy of the Male Reproductive System (Labeling Guide):
1.
Testes – Located in the scrotum; produce sperm and testosterone.
2.
Epididymis – Coiled tube on top of the testes; stores and matures sperm.
3.
Vas Deferens – Tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
4.
Seminal Vesicles – Glands that produce fluid to nourish sperm; empty into the vas deferens.
5.
Prostate Gland – Surrounds the urethra; produces milky fluid that makes up part of semen.
6.
Urethra – Tube that carries urine and semen out of the body through the penis.
7.
Penis – External organ for urination and delivery of sperm.
8.
Scrotum – Sac of skin that holds the testes; regulates temperature for sperm production.

Answer: Label the diagram using the above terms in their correct anatomical locations.

Question 2: Match the following structures to their functions.
| Structure | Function |
|---------|--------|
| A. Testes | 1. Produce sperm |
| B. Epididymis | 2. Stores sperm until ejaculation |
| C. Vas deferens | 3. Transports sperm from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles |
| D. Seminal vesicles | 4. Produce fluid that mixes with sperm to form semen |
| E. Prostate gland | 5. Produces fluid that helps sperm move |
| F. Urethra | 6. Carries both urine and semen |

Correct Matches:
- A. Testes →
1. Produce sperm
- B. Epididymis →
2. Stores sperm until ejaculation
- C. Vas deferens →
3. Transports sperm from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles
- D. Seminal vesicles →
4. Produce fluid that mixes with sperm to form semen
- E. Prostate gland →
5. Produces fluid that helps sperm move
- F. Urethra →
6. Carries both urine and semen

✔ Answer: Match as shown above.

Question 3: Why is it important for the testes to be located outside the body?
Answer:
The testes are located in the scrotum, which is outside the body, because
sperm production requires a temperature slightly lower than normal body temperature (about 35°C or 95°F). If the testes were inside the body, the higher temperature would impair sperm development and reduce fertility.
>
✔ Final Answer: The testes are located outside the body to maintain a cooler temperature necessary for sperm production.
