41
Q

Where is the blood for the testis supplied from?

A

–Testicular arteries arise from abdominal aorta

Testicular veins arise from pampiniform venous plexus

42
Q

What is the spermatic cord?

A

encloses nerve fibers, blood vessels, and lymphatics that supply testes

43
Q

What is the male perineum?

A
  • Diamond-shaped region between pubic symphysis, coccyx, and ischial tuberosities
  • Suspends scrotum

44
Q

What does the penis consist of?

A

Root

shaft

glans penis

prepuce (foreskin)

crura

45
Q

What is the role of crura?

A

Anchors the penis to the pubic arch

46
Q

What is the role of ducts in the male reproductive system?

A

Carry sperm from testes to body exterior

47
Q

What is contained in teh head of the penis?

A

Efferent ductiles

48
Q

Ho long is the duct of the epididymis?

A

6m

49
Q

What is the process of vasectomy?

A

cutting and ligating ductus deferens; nearly 100% effective form of birth control

50
Q

What are the three regions of the urethra?

A

52
Q

What is the structure labelled B?

A

Paired seminal glands

53
Q

What is the structure labelled C?

A

Bulbo-urethral glands

54
Q

What is produced by the seminal glands?

A

Produces viscous alkaline seminal fluid

55
Q

What does the prostate gland produce?

A
  • Secretes milky, slightly acid fluid
  • Role in sperm activation
  • 1/3 semen volume
56
Q

What is the role of the bulbo-urethral gland? (Cowpers gland)

A

•Produce thick, clear mucus during sexual arousal

–Lubricate glans penis

–Neutralize traces of acidic urine in urethra

57
Q

What is semen?

A

•Milky-white mixture of sperm and accessory gland secretions

58
Q

who cares????

meiosis

66
Q

How many daughter cells are produced during meiosis?

A

4

67

  • Random alignment of homologous pairs in meiosis I ( variability of gametes)
  • Crossover - variability of gametes
68
Q

What is the purpose of meiosis?

A

production of gametes for sexual reproduction?

69

Meiosis II

  • Prophase
  • Metaphase
  • Anaphase
  • Telophase

Cytokinesis

70
Q

What type of cells give rise to sperm?

A

spermatogenic

71
Q

What happens during spermiogenesis?

A

Spermatids become sperm

72
Q

When does spermatogenesis begin?

A

During puberty

73
Q

Which cells maintain germ cell line at basal lamina?

A

Type A

74
Q

What is the role of type B cells

A

move toward lumen and develop into primary spermatocytes

A
  • Head
  • Midpiece
  • Tail
76
Q

Which region of the sperm contains the genetic information?

A

Head

78
Q

How long does spermatogenesis take?

A

64-72 days

79
Q

What is the mechanism and effect of testosterone in the male reproductive system?

A

–Synthesized from cholesterol

–Transformed to exert its effects on some target cells

  • Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in prostate
  • Estradiol in some neurons in brain
  • Prompts spermatogenesis
  • Targets all accessory organs
