Final - Male Reproductive System pt. ll Flashcards
- Explain the differences in the spermatogonia daughter cells occurring after puberty. (4:33)
after puberty it splits into two Spermatogonia cells, but only 1 spermatocyte passes and then foregoes Mitosis 1 and splits into two haploid cells
What are primary spermatocytes? (4:42)
which originally came from one spermatogonia
- Explain the process occurring from primary spermatocytes to secondary spermatocytes (4:48)
it undergoes mitosis one from 1 spermatocyte to split and make 2 haploid cells/secondary spermatocytes
- What are secondary spermatocytes? (4:50)
they are haploid cells which rush into Mitosis 2
- What is the process occurring after secondary spermatocytes are formed? (4:53)
Mitosis 2
- Explain spermiogenesis. (5:08)
the process by which the spermatocytes grows a tail and officially becomes a mobile sperm.
- What are myoid cells? (5:50)
Rhythmically contract by peristalsis to squeeze sperm and some fluid
- What is the rete testis?(6:00)
where the sperm go into after leaving myoid cells
- What is the epididymis? (6:06)
where the sperm leaves from
- What is the vas deferens? (7:00)
where the Sperm flows – includes a testicular artery, vein and a number of nerve fibers
- What are the ejaculatory ducts? (7:07)
delivers sperm into the Urethra
What is the prostate gland? What is its function?(7:11; 8:09)
A male gland
Helps the ejaculatory ducts push sperm through the Urethra. (7:11; 8:09)
- What is the urethra? (7:15)
allows sperm to be delivered to the outside world.
- What is semen? What is its function? (7:30) What is it: is sperm/testicular fluid/gland secretions all combined function: for fertilization.
What is it: is sperm/testicular fluid/gland secretions all combined
Function: for fertilization.
- What are the seminal glands? What are their function? (7:43)
the seminal vesicles which makes up 70% of semen
Function: produces ingredients of sperm
