Its functions are to support the testes and help regulate the temperature of sperm.

Answer 4

Scrotum

two ovoid glands, 2-3 cm wide that rest in the scrotum

Answer 5

Testes

Question 6

where spermatozoa is produced

Answer 6

Testes

Question 7

It is responsible for the release of androgen-binding protein (ABP).

Answer 7

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Question 8

It is responsible for the release of testosterone from the testes.

Answer 8

Question 9

It is composed of three cylindrical masses of erectile tissue in the penis shaft.

Answer 9

Penis

Question 10

Answer 10

Base, shaft, glans, & foreskin

Question 11

retractable casing of skin that protects the nerve-sensitive glans at birth

Answer 11

Prepuce

Question 12

removed surgically- circumcision

Answer 12

Prepuce

Question 13

a highly convoluted duct behind the testes, along which sperm passes to the vas deferens

Answer 13

Epididymis

Question 14

complete absence of seminal fluid emission

Answer 14

Aspermia

Question 15

fewer than 20 million sperm per milliliter

Answer 15

Oligospermia

Question 16

Internal Structures of Male Reproductive System

Answer 16

1. Epididymis
2. Vas deferens (ductus deferens)
3. Seminal vesicles
4. Prostate gland
5. Bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s gland)
6. Urethra

Question 17

hollow tube surrounded by arteries and veins and protected by a thick fibrous coating

Answer 17

Vas deferens

Question 18

It carries sperm from the epididymis through the inguinal canal into the abdominal cavity, where it ends at the seminal vesicles and the ejaculatory ducts below the bladder.

Answer 18

Vas deferens

Question 19

two convoluted pouches that lie along the lower portion of the bladder and empty into the urethra by ejaculatory ducts

Answer 19

Seminal vesicles

Question 20

These glands secrete a viscous alkaline liquid with a high sugar, protein and prostaglandin content. Sperm become increasingly motile because of this added fluid.

Answer 20

Seminal vesicles

Question 21

is a chest nut-sized gland that lies just below the bladder and allows the urethra to pass through the center of it

Answer 21

Prostate gland

Question 22

Its purpose is to secrete a thin, alkaline fluid, which, when added to the secretion from the seminal vesicles, further protects sperm by increasing the naturally low pH level of the urethra.

Answer 22

Prostate gland

Question 23

lie beside the prostate gland and empty by short ducts into the urethra

Answer 23

Bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s gland)

Question 24

supply one more source of alkaline fluid to help ensure the safe passage of spermatozoa

Answer 24

Bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s gland)

Question 25

It is a hollow tube leading from the base of the bladder, which after passing through the prostate gland, continues to the outside through the shaft and glans of the penis.

Answer 25

Urethra

Question 26

It is about 8 in (18-20 cm) long & it is line with with mucous membrane.

Answer 26

Urethra
