HUMAN REPRODUCTION Flashcards
length of testis
4-5cm
width of testis
2-3cm
the testis is covered by a
dense covering
each testis has about
250 compartments
each lobule contains
1-3 highly coiled seminiferous tubules
interstitial space contains
small blood vessels and interstitial cells
the male accessory ducts include
rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis, vas deferens
the epididymis is located on the
posterior surface of testis
seminal plasma is rich in
fructose, calcium, certain enzymes
each ovary is about
2 -4 cm in length
each ovary is covered by a
thin epithelium
each fallopian tube is about
10-12cm long
the fallopian tube is divided into
infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus
birth canal =
cervical canal + vagina
the female external genitalia include
mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, hymen, clitoris
the glandular tissue of each breast contains
15-20 mammary lobes
mammary lobes contain clusters of cells called
alveoli
the pathway of milk
alveoli>mammary tubules> mammary ducts>ampulla> lactiferous ducts
interstitial space contains
small blood vessels and interstitial cells
the spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa by
spermiogenesis
the process of releasing fully matured sperms out of seminiferous tubules
spermiation
spermiogenesis starts the age of puberty dues to the increase in the levels of
