Correct functions of the male reproductive system from that list:
- Production of sex cells — yes (sperm are produced in the testes).
- Development (maturation) of sex cells — yes (spermatogenesis and maturation occur in the testes and epididymis).
- Production of hormones — yes (testes produce testosterone and other hormones).
Not primary functions of the male reproductive system:
- Help in immunity — not a primary function. Some reproductive tissues and semen contain antimicrobial and immunomodulatory factors that protect sperm, but overall immunity is mainly the role of the immune system (and other organs).
- Transport of nutrients — no; transport of nutrients is primarily the digestive and circulatory systems. The reproductive tract does transport sperm/seminal fluid, not nutrients as a main role.
- Maintenance of water balance — no; that is mainly the kidneys/endocrine system.
- Production of sex cells — yes (sperm are produced in the testes).
- Development (maturation) of sex cells — yes (spermatogenesis and maturation occur in the testes and epididymis).
- Production of hormones — yes (testes produce testosterone and other hormones).
