male and female genitalia Flashcards
primary sex organs
gonads
male gonads
testes
female gonads
ovaries
function of gonads
responsible for producing the sperm and ova but they also secrete hormones and are considered to be endocrine glands
sex cells
gametes
gamete sex cells in males
sperm
gamete sex cells in woman
ovum ova egg
accessory sex organs
internal glands and ducts and the external genitalia
internal organs of male reproductive system include
testis ductus deferens (vas deferens ) seminal vesicles ejaculatory ducts prostatic glands bulborethrala glands
external organs of male reproductive system include
scrotum and penis
wall of scrotum consists of
dermisdartos muscle and cremaster muscle
wrinkling of skin
dermisdartos muscle
contract based on temperature
cremaster muscle
inside the scrotum consists of
tunica vaginalis and tunica albuginea
serous covering of the testis
tunica vaginalis
tunica albuginea
fibrous envelope that extends the length of the corpora cavernosa penis (containing erectile tissue) and corpus spongiosum penis (containing the male urethra). It is a bi-layered structure that includes an outer longitudinal layer and an inner circular layer
blood supply of the scrotum
anterior scrotal arteries
posterior scrotal arteries
cremasteric arteries
venous drainage of the scortum
scrotal veins
lymphatic drainage of scrotum
superficial inguinal nodes
innervation of scortum
anterior scrotal nerves
the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve
posterior scrotal nerves
perineal branch of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve
erectile spongy tissue of the penis
corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum
urethra passes through
corpus spongiosum
rounded head (or tip) of the penis
glans penis
sperm passes through
urethra
testis
produce both sperm and androgens, primarily testosterone
testis contain
spermatic cord seminiferous tubule efferent ductule epididymis vas deferens tunica albuginea tunica vaginalis cavity of tunica albuginea
divisions of epididymis
head body and tail
cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens
spermatic cord
site of spermatogenesis where germ cells develop into spermatozoa in close interaction with sertoli cells
seminiferous tubule
series of parallel thin, delicate tubules that connect the rete testis to a single tub of the epididymis
efferent ductule
