21
Q

The tunica dartos is under local or systemic control?

A

Local (testosterone)

22
Q

The testis are composed of:

A

Tunica albuginea, seminiferous tubules, mediastinum and cells

23
Q

What forms lobules in the testis?

A

Tunica albuginea

24
Q

Sertoli cells are inside or outside the seminiferous tubules?

25
Q

Sertoli cells are under control of what hormone?

26
Q

What cells are found on the outside of seminiferous tubules and produce LH?

A

Leydig cells

27
Q

The blood testis barrier work based on what cells?

A

Peritubular cells

28
Q

Why is the blood testis barrier important?

A

Because once meiosis occurs, spermatids (DNA inside each) are considered foreign to the body

29
Q

The tight junctions between Sertoli cells prevent what?

A

Macromolecules or phagocytes to enter adluminal compartment

30
Q

The epididymis is under the control of what hormone?

A

Testosterone

31
Q

Does ejaculation occur in the distal or proximal epididymis?

32
Q

What is the 3rd function of the epididymis?

A

Flush out unejaculated spermatids

33
Q

A high concentration of spermatozoa would be found where?

A

In the epididymis

34
Q

Where can you find a low concentration of spermatids dissolved by rete fluid?

A

In the efferent ducts

35
Q

What are extragonadal reserves?

A

Sperm cells that can be ejaculated

36
Q

We can increase distal/ EGR reserves by doing what?

A

False mounting, observation

37
Q

What hormone is released to increase muscle contractions for EGR s?

38
Q

Does overuse increase or decrease distal reserves?

39
Q

If the cytoplasmic droplet is present in an ejaculate sample it’s considered abnormal. What could be a reason for this?

40
Q

What is the buffer, nutrient, lubrication, and non-cellular part of an ejaculate?

A

Seminal plasma

41
Q

How many glands/parts are involved in the production of seminal plasma? Which are they?

A

5:epididymis, ampulla, vesicular, prostate, bulbourethral

42
Q

What gland provides the gel-like fraction of seminal plasma?

A

Bulbourethral

43
Q

What does the prostate gland provide?

A

Clean environment of urethra pre-ejaculation

44
Q

What species only has a prostate gland as an accessory gland?

45
Q

What gland provides the milky portion of seminal plasma?

46
Q

What is the copulatory organ in males?

47
Q

The 3 parts of the penis are:

A

Base, shaft, glans penis

48
Q

What part of the penis can engorge blood during excitation or erection?

49
Q

What type of penis is always contracted in the body cavity while not in use?

A

Fibroelastic

50
Q

Vascular penises rely on what ?

A

Blood engorgement

51
Q

The corpus cavernosum allows what?

A

Blood influx

52
Q

What surrounds the penile urethra?

A

Corpus spongisum
