Exam 4 - Workbook Flashcards
What is the pathway of sperm from the testis to the urethra?
seminiferous tubule, rete testis, epididymis, ductus deferens
Tubular storage site for sperm; hugs the posterior aspect of the testes
epididymis
Cuff of skin encircling the glans penis
prepuce
Site of testosterone production
testes
Surrounds the urethra at the base of the bladder, produces a milky fluid.
prostate
Connective tissue sheath enclosing the ductus deferens, blood vessels, and nerves
spermatic cord
Passageway from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
ductus deferens
Produce more than half of the seminal fluid
seminal vesicles
Organ that delivers semen to the female reproductive tract
penis
Conveys both sperm and urine down the length of the penis
urethra
External skin sac that houses the testes
scrotum
spongy tissue
the erectile tissue in the penis
What duct also serves the urinary system?
urethra
structure that provides ideal temperature conditions
scrotum
removed at circumcision
prepuce
the glands producing a secretion that contains sugar
seminal vesicles
What is cut or cauterized during a vasectomy?
ductus deferens
site of spermatogenesis
seminiferous tubule
tubular structure in which sperm mature and become motile
epididymis
fibrous coat protecting the testis
tunica albuginea
primitive stem cell
spermatogonium
Contain 23 chromosomes and ______
secondary spermatocyte, sperm, spermatid
product of meiosis 1
secondary spermatocyte
product of meiosis 2
spermatid
functional motile gamete
sperm
two hormones necessary for sperm production
testosterone, FSH
DNA-containing area of sperm
nucleus
enzyme-containing sac that aids sperm penetration of the egg
acrosome
metabolically active organelles that provide ATP to energize sperm movement
mitochondria
the final product is two daughter cells, each with 46 chromosomes
mitosis
the final product is four daughter cells, each with 23 chromosomes
meiosis
this process involves the phases prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
mitosis and meiosis
this process occurs in all body tissues
mitosis
this process occurs only in the gonads
meiosis
this process increases the cell number for growth and repair
mitosis
daughter cells have the same number and types of chromosomes as the mother cell
mitosis
daughter cells are different from the mother cell in their chromosomal makeup
meiosis
