Final Exam Content Set 5

Question 1

scrotal function

Answer 1

scrotum shields and cools the testicles, aiding sperm production.

Question 2

explain a detailed diagram of a sperm cell

Answer 2

The sperm’s head carries DNA (nucleus) and enzymes (acrosome), the midpiece holds mitochondria for energy, and the tail propels movement.

Question 3

process of ejaculation

Answer 3

Seminiferous tubules—> epididymis—-> vas deferens—> ejaculatory duct—–> Urethra

Seminal vesicles add prostaglandins, fructose, and an alkaline fluid
prostate adds enzymes to activate sperm.
Bulbourethral glands release mucus
During expulsion, muscles at the base of the penis contract, shooting semen out in spurts.

Question 4

Process of erection

Answer 4

Erotic stimulation activates nerves that widen blood vessels, filling them with blood for an erection.

Question 5

process of spermatogenesis

Answer 5

Spermatogonium—–> primary spermatocyte—-> Primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I—> 2 equal secondary spermatocytes produced

Question 6

endocrinology of the male reproductive system

Answer 6

Testis produce testosterone

Question 7

process of oogenesis

Answer 7

primary oocyte initiates meiosis—>later matures within a follicle—–> secondary oocyte. —->If fertilized, it completes meiosis.

Question 8

role of the follicle in oogenesis

Answer 8

protect, nurture and secrete the required hormones to help the eggs mature and release during ovulation

Question 9

process of ovulation

Answer 9

egg inside the follicle detaches
follicle starts to release Gnrh—> fallopian tube to moves closer and surrounds the follicle—>follicles swells and bursts—> Egg is ejected

Question 10

process of fertilization

Answer 10

sperm and egg unite in fallopian tube—>zygote is formed—. zygote travels down fallopian tube—-> it becomes a morula. Once it reaches the uterus, morula —-> blastocyst —-> blastocyst burrows into the uterine wall

Question 11

Excitement phase:
Increased muscle tension.
Increased blood flow to genitals
Plateau phase:

Sudden release of sexual tension.
Resolution:
swelling subsides, bringing a sense of well-being and intimacy, often with fatigue.

Question 12

endocrinology of the female reproductive system

Answer 12

Ovaries produce estrogen

Question 13

the effect of the female sex hormones on the ovaries and the uterus

Answer 13

egg maturation and release, and thickening of the uterus lining
