Answer 22

spermatids

Question 23

Sperm

Answer 23

Head
- Acrosome

Midpiece 
- mitochondria
Tail
- flagellum

Question 24

GnRH

Answer 24

GnRH increase LH & FSH

Question 25

FSH

Answer 25

stimulate sertoli cells -> stimulate spermatognia

Answer 29

SNS efferents T12-L2
Somatic efferents S2-4
PSNS efferents S2-4

Question 30

Viagra

Answer 30

inhibits PDE5
PDE5 inhibits cGMP for cavernous artery
inhibition of PDE5 uninhibits cGMP for vasodiation of cavernous artery

Question 31

Penile prosthesis

Answer 31

saline filled reservoir
hand pump in scrotum
cylinders in place of corpus cavernosa

Question 32

seminal emission

Answer 32

dorsal nerve (pudendal S2-4) receives afferent stimulation
Lumbar SNS + Sacral PSNS 
smooth muscle contraction of prostate, seminal muscles and vas deferens transports semen into the proximal urethra

Question 33

Expulsion

Answer 33

semen in proximal urethra
dorsal n of penis
Lumbar SNS - internal urethral sphincter contracts
Involuntary rhythmic contraction of the ischiocavernous, bulbosponginous and other perineal muscles

Question 34

internal urethral sphincter

Answer 34

1. semen enteres prostatic urethra
2. internal urethral sphincter contracts
3. forward flow ejaculation
4. internal urethral sphincter is paralyzed
5. backwards flow ejaculation
