Q

What are the four functions of the accessory sex glands in the dog?

A

A

corpus spongiosum penis

44
Q

What structure adds rigidity for intromission, deforms apex of the penis in the vagina, and has a urethral groove on the ventral surface?

A

os penis

45
Q

What 12 vessels (6 arteries, 6 veins) provide blood supply to the penis?

A
  • dorsal a and v of the penis
  • a and v of the penis
  • internal pudendal a and v
  • ventral perineal a and v
  • a and v of the bulb
  • deep a and v of the penis
46
Q

Describe blood blow of the penis during non-erection.

A

blood flow to the penis bypasses the vascular spaces of the erectile tissue

47
Q

Erection results from filling of what bodies with blood?

A

cavernosus bodies

48
Q

Describe blood flow of the penis to cause erection.

A
  • stimulation of the pelvic nerve causes relaxation of smooth muscles of the arteries of the penis allowing an increase in blood flow to the penis
  • blood is directed into the helical artieries of the erectile tissue
  • the penis enlarges and becomes turgid
49
Q

Is erection a sympathetic or parasympathetic function?

A

parasympathetic

50
Q

What two things occur during ejaculation?

A
  • secretion of accessory sex glands
  • bulbospongiosus muscle contracts causing expulsion of semen

Sympathetic

52
Q

Is the contraction of bulbospongiosus muscle during ejaculation autonomic or somatic?
