Physiology and Toxicology of Male Reproduction

The male reproductive system consists of organs responsible for producing, storing, and delivering sperm, including the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and penis. The physiology and toxicology of male reproduction comprises a complex interplay of biological processes and external influences. Male reproductive physiology involves the coordinated action of hormones, organs, and systems to produce sperm and facilitate fertilization. Toxicological factors, such as exposure to environmental pollutants, chemicals, and lifestyle choices, can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to impaired fertility, reproductive disorders, or even permanent damage. Understanding the intricate mechanisms of male reproductive physiology and identifying potential toxicological hazards is crucial for safeguarding reproductive health. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the physiology and toxicology of male reproduction. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around this field. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new researches in this field.
