A

Urethra
Anus

29
Q

Openings in the female pelvic floor include..

A

Urethra
Anus
Vagina

30
Q

Functions of the male reproductive system

A
  • to produce spermatozoa (sperm / male gamete)
  • transport spermatozoa into the female reproductive tract
31
Q

Male reproductive system is made up of

A
  • testes (male gonad)
  • reproductive tract/duct
  • accessory structures and glands
32
Q
A
33
Q

Male reproductive tract ?

A
  • path that sperm travel along
34
Q

What does the male reproductive react consist of?

A
  • testes
  • epididymis
  • ductus (vas) deferens
  • ejaculatory duct
  • urethra
35
Q
A
36
Q

What does the scrotum contain?

A
  • two testes
  • two epiididymides
  • two spermatic cards (with part of ductus deferns)
37
Q

What do the testes produce

A
  • produce sperm, testosterone and inhibit
38
Q

Where do testes lie

A
  • lie in scrotum - outside
39
Q

What are the testes surrounded by?

A

Surrounded by dense fibrous capsule: the tunica albuginea

40
Q

Testes have lobules containing…

A

Seminiferous tubules

41
Q

Seminiferous tubules join to form

A

Rete testis

42
Q

Rete testis join to form…

A

Efferent ductules leading to epididymis

43
Q
A
44
Q

Seminiferous tubules - cells associated with them and what they do

A
  • Interstitial endocrine (leydig) cels produce testosterone
  • nurse (sertoli) cells produce inhibin
  • supermatogenic cells - spermatogonia and spermatozoa at various stages of development
45
Q

What does the epididymis consist of?

A
  • head, body, tail
46
Q

Where does the sperm enter the epididymis and exit from?

A
  • sperm enter from seminiferous tubules and exit via ductus deferens
47
Q

What is the site of sperm maturation?

A

Epididymis

48
Q
A
49
Q

what continues on to epidermis

A

ductus deferens

50
Q

Where does the ductus deferens start?

A

Starts in the spermatic cord

51
Q

What is the ductus deferens covered by?

A

Smooth muscle

52
Q

Where does the ductus deferens run in relation to the urinary bladder?

A

Posterior

53
Q

Ductus deferens dilates to form the

A

Ampulla

54
Q

What are the ejaculatory ducts formed by?

A
  • formed by the union of the duct from the seminal vesicles and the ampulla
55
Q

Where does the ejaculatory ducts open into?

A

Opens in the prostatic urethra

56
Q
A
57
Q

Two functions of the male urethra

A

Urination and ejaculation

58
Q

Three changes in epithelium down the urethra

A
  • transitional
  • columnar
  • stratified
59
Q

Three sections of the male urethra

A
  • prostatic urethra
  • membranous urethra
  • penile/spongy urethra
60
Q

Urethral sphincters - external and internal

A
  • external: skeletal muscle, voluntary control of urination
  • internal: detrusor muscle: closes bladder ensuring sperm ejaculated through the urethra

(Retrograde ejactulation: sphincter doesn’t close; therefore, sperm ends up in bladder)

61
Q

Retrograde ejaculation:

A
  • sphincter doesn’t close; therefore, spermicide ends up in bladder
62
Q
A
63
Q
A
64
Q

Spermatogenesis occurs in..

A

The seminiferous tubules within the testes

65
Q

The path of sperm

A
  • form the seminiferous tubules, the spermatozoa travel into the epidymis, the duct deferns, the ejaculatory ducts and finally the urethra
