Anatomy 1 Exam 3 Flashcards
Sex glands that produce gametes (sex cells)
Gonads
pendulous pouch which ultimately houses male gonadsequipped with cremasteric (muscle) reflex to ensure proper temperature for sperm production
Scrotum
Originally within abdominal cavity and will descend into the scrotummale gonads
Testes
where sperm first producethousands of minute tubes (tube-like) passageways
seminiferous tubules
beginning or production of spermprimary function of testes
spermatogenesis
Testes hormone production
testosterone
female sex glands
ovaries
sperm shift/pass through passageways for sperm located between testes to urethra(between bladder and outside of body
spermatic ducts
entirely in scrotumfirst part of spermatic duct where sperms are shift
epididymissperm spend average 2 to 3 day life span (nursery)
2nd part of spermatic duct where sperm will past between scrotum & prostate glandportion is ligated (tied off) in vasectomy
Ductus deferens(vas deferens or seminal duct)
located wholly/entirely within prostate gland
ejaculatory ducts
sperm mature & gain mobility in epididymiswhere sperm spend the majority of 2 to 3 day life span (nursery)
spermatic ductspassageway for sperm from testes to urethra
located between prostate gland and outside of body (male)
urethra
part of urethra that passes through prostate gland
prostatic urethra
part of the urethra in men that passes through the penis
penile urethra
path for urine from bladder to outside of the body
urethra
located at the base of bladder directly above rectumsingle walnut size gland
prostate gland (location)
adds a substance highly alkaline in pH to neutralize acidity left over in urethra from previous urination
Prostate gland (function)
outside of body along with scrotummakeup the external genitalia of male
penis
cavernous body of male penis
corpus cavernosum
sponge body only with male penis
corpus spongiosum
last structure sperms passserves as male organ of intercourse
penis
