Chapter 10: Male Reproductive System Flashcards
the male reproductive system does three things
1- produces sperm
2- delivers sperm to the female
3- secretes male sex hormones
the male reproductive system includes which organs
- testes
- epididymis
- penis
- vas deferens
- seminal vesicles
- prostate gland
- bulbourethral glands

the major organs of male reproduction are located
externally
external organs of the male
- penis
- 2 testes
- 2 epididymis
the penis contains the ___________, which carries both _________ and ________
urethra/sperm and urine
internal organs of the male
- 2 seminal vesicles
- 2 vas deferens
- prostate
- 2 bulbourethral glands
the testes produce ________ in _________________ __________
sperm in seminiferous tubules
the testes maintain a lower temperature via suspension in the __________
scrotum
testosterone is produced in the
testes
testosterone is the
primary androgen
the testes are responsible for
- development of sex organs
- sperm
- secondary sex characteristics
the epididymis lies
on top of each testis within the scrotum
sperm mature and are stored in the
epididymis
when sperm are ready, they are released into the
vas deferens
the _______ delivers sperm to the _____________
penis/vagina
the soft tip of the penis is the _______ _______ and is covered by the _________
glans penis/prepuce
the penis becomes _______ during sexual stimulation to allow for insertion in the female and ______________ of _______
erect/ejaculation of semen
the ________ carries semen out of the male body
urethra
each vas deferens carries sperm from the _______________ into the ___________ __________
epididymis/pelvic cavity
the vas deferens is part of the ____________ _______, along with
spermatic cord
- nerves
- arteries
- veins
- lymph vessels
the two seminal vesicles are located at
the base of the bladder
the two seminal vesicles connect to the ____ __________ right before it empties into the
vas deferens/urethra
the seminal vesicles release a
glucose-rich fluid that nourishes the sperm
the fluid within the seminal vesicles, along with sperm and other secretions, makes up
the semen
the prostate gland is located
below the urinary bladder
the prostate surrounds the
urethra
the prostate secretes an __________________ into semen
alkaline fluid
the fluid produced by the prostate,
neutralizes the pH of the urethra and vagina and helps sperm survive
the two small bulbourethral glands are located
on either side of the urethra below the prostate
the bulbourethral gland secretes a
mucus-like fluid that joins the semen
