Question 7

Answer 11

Tubal litigation
tubes clioped, cut or cauterised

Question 12

a fertilised ovum implants outside of the uterine cavity

Question 18

retrovesical pouch

Answer 18

double folding of peritoneum between the rectum and the bladder

Question 19

Where do the testes originate during development

Answer 19

the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity

Question 20

where do the testes descend to

Answer 20

the scrotum (through the anterior abdominal wall

Question 21

Where are spermatozoa produced?

Answer 21

Seminiferous tubules

Question 22

Where does the sperm move to after its produced

Answer 22

The rete testis, then the head of the epididymis

Question 23

What des the epididymis turn into?

Answer 23

vas deferens

Question 24

what three structures does the spermatic cord contain

Answer 24

Vas deferens
Testicular artery
Pampiniform plexus of veins

Question 25

Describe how ejaculation works

Answer 25

Sperm moves from the testis via the vas deferens
spermatic cord passes through anterior abdominal wall to reach pelvic cavity
Vas deferens connects to duct from the seminal gland (ejaculatory duct)
Left and right ejaculatory ducts join together within the prostate and drain into the urethra
Urethra opens at the external urethral meatus of the penis
