lab 17 Flashcards
similariteis between M and F genitals
body produce mature gametes
both store, nourish, and transport gametes
both produce hormones essential to development
male genital system
testes
accessory glands
scrotum
penis
ducts of testes
epididymis
ductus deferens
ejactulatory duct
accessory sex glands male
seminal glands, prostate, bulbourethral glands
seminiferous tubules produce:
sperm and inhibin
interstitial endocrine cells produce
testosterone
secondary male sex characteristics
lowered voice
body hair
broadening of shoulders/chest
adams apple
primary sex characteristics
involved directly in reproduction
eg testes or ovaries
secondary sex characteristicsq
come with puberty
eg lowered voice in male or widening of hips in female
epididymis is the site of
sperm storage and maturation
peristalsis moves sperm from epidid to ___
ductus deferens
seminal glands
contribute a bunch of substances to semen, whihc they release into ejac ducts
3 things produced by the seminal glands
alkaline fluid
fructose
prostaglandins
alkaline fluid from the seminal glands function
neutralizes acidic environment of genital tract
fructose from seminal gland functin
used in ATP production for sperm
prostaglandins from seminal glands function
aid in sperm motility and viability
prostate gland
donut shaped gland that surrounds superior portion of urethra
prostate gland function
secretes substances into urethra that aid in sperm motility and viability
2 substances secreted by prostate gland
citric acid
proteolytic enzymes
citric acid from prostate function
ATP production of sperm
proteolytic enzymes from prostate function
breakdown of clotting proteins
eg. lysozyme
bulbourethral glands
inferior to prostate, empty in urethra
bulbourethral glands secrete (2)
alkaline fluid
mucus
alkaline fluid from bulbourethral glands function
protects sperm from acidic environmentm
mucus from BU glands function
lubricate end of penis, decreasing sperm damage
scrotum
supporting structure of tests, regulates temp
contains cremaster muscle
cremaster muscle
in teh scrotum, regulated by temp
epididymis
sperm maturatio and propels sperm into ductus deferens
urethra sections in males
prostatic - changes after prostate
membranous - goes to corpus spongeosum
spongy - to end
penis parts
corpus spongiosum penis
corpora cavernosa penis
external urethral orifice
glans penis
prepuce
corpus spongiosum
contains spongy urethra, keeps urethra opne during ejac
corpora cavernosa
2 dorsilateral masses that fill with blood during arousal
glans penis
protects urethra, large role in plessure
prepuce
protection and lubrication
foreskin
female genital system parts (6)
ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, external genitalia (vulva), mammary glands
primordial follicle slide
small af, harder to see
know it by knowing that primary follicle looks symetricel and all
