Solution

Within the pelvis, the number of sex organ which is responsible for the sexual activity of a male are collectively known as a male reproductive organ. The male reproductive organ involves the external genital organ and internal genital organ.

Complete answer:
The temporary ovarian structure which develops within the luteal phase of a menstrual cycle is called corpus luteum. Corpus luteum induces the synthesis of progesterone hormone for the possible pregnancy. The diameter of the human corpus luteum varies between 2cm to 5 cm.
The narrow tightly coiled tube which is responsible for joining the gas deferens and testicle is called the epididymis. It is part of the internal genital organ of the male reproductive system. In the adult human, the length of the epididymis varies between 6 to 7 meters. Spermatozoa from the testis enter into the cauda region via epididymis.
The prostate gland is an accessory gland in the male reproductive system. It is located in front of the rectum, between the penis and bladder. The prostate gland is responsible for producing a fluid that carries the sperm and exit out of the body after ejaculation.
The scrotum is the external genital organ of the male reproductive system. The scrotum is the sac-like structure that involves epididymis, external spermatic fascia, ductus deferens, and tested. The scrotum is responsible for maintaining the temperature for spermatogenesis. The ideal temperature of spermatogenesis is 35C{35^ \circ }C.

Note:
The structure of the prostate gland is similar to a walnut. It is a rubbery sac. Dysfunction of the prostate may cause several diseases like Prostatitis (due to infection), prostate cancer, enlargement of the prostate.
