male repro system Flashcards
tunica vaginalis
from process vaginalis
forms partial cover
tunica albuginae
dense CT
divides organ into lobules
lobules come together in mediastinum area
lobules of testes contain
convolutes seminiferous tubules
straight seminiferous tubules
rete testes
duct system of testes
arises from efferent ductles of rete testes
each ductule pierces the tunica albuginae and assumes a convoluted shape
epididymis head
individual lobules and a single duct that unites them
epididymis body and tail
remained of epididymal duct
epididymis caudal portion
has thicker wall forming ductus deferens
ductus deferens
continuation of epididymal duct
passes thru inguinal canal to enter pelvis
anteriorly crosses external iliac vessels
crosses above badder medial to ureters
converges w/opposite duct post to bladder
ampulla
dilation of ductus deferens just before convergence of left of and right ducts
ejaculatory duct
constriction as duct enters prostate gland
course thru prostate to prostatic urethra
seminal vesicles
arise as blind pouches from ductus deferns
functionally these are sex glands
prostate glnd
arises from several outgrowths of prostatic urethra
positioned btwn levator ani and base of bladder
pubis anterior
rectum posterior
prostatic urethra
extending from neck of bladder to membranous urethra
widest portion is colliculus seminalis
colliculus seminalis
widest portion of prostatic urethra
site of attachment of ejaculatory ducts
prostatic sinuses
prostate opens to urethra along these groves
