Biology

Question 1

• formed by the union of each vas deferens with ducts from seminal vesicle passing through the prostate gland terminating in the urethra for the ejaculation of
  the semen into the urethra

Answer 1

Ejaculatory Ducts

Question 2

• convoluted pouches with mucous lining located on the posterior surface of the bladder which secrete
  nutrient-rich fluid (constitute about 60 % of the semen)
  -provide fructose
• Contain prostaglandins which decrease mucus thickness
  around cervix and uterine tubes and help sperm move through female
  repro. Tract
• contains coagulants that help deliver
  semen into female

Answer 2

Seminal Vesicle

Question 3

• walnut-size glands with ducts
  opening into the urethra secreting an alkaline substance which increase sperm motility (constitute 30% of
  semen)
• contains enzymes to liquefy semen after it is inside female
• neutralizes acidity of vagina

Answer 3

Prostate Gland

Question 4

-small, pea-shaped glands with ducts leading into the urethral located just below the prostate which secrete an alkaline fluid that lubricates the
urethra príor to ejaculation

Answer 4

Bulbo-urethral or Cowper’s Gland

Question 5

• skin-covered pouch suspended from perineal region and divided into two compartments,
  each containing the testis, epididymis, and first part of seminal ducts; allows sperms to develop to 2-3 degrees
  below body temperature
  -contains dartos muscle that moves
  scrotum and testes close to and away
  from body depending on temp.

Answer 5

Scrotum

Question 6

• Almond-shaped organs suspended by the mesovarium
  -Contain Graafian follicles embedded in connective tissue in which the ova develop; each month, surface of the ovary ruptures and expels its ovum into the pelvic cavity

Answer 6

Ovaries

Question 7

-pear-shaped organ (approximately) the size of a clenched fist) located in the pelvic cavity between the bladder and rectum
-function is associated with menstruation, pregnancy, and labor

Answer 7

Uterus

Question 8

• collapsible, musculo- membranous tube located between rectum and urethra with an outlet to the exterior protected by a fold of
  mucosa membrane called hymen whose functions are: to receive semen from the male; acts as duct for uterine secretions and menstrual flow and constitutes the lower part of the birth canal.

Answer 8

Vagina
