Q

is the sensitive tip or head of the penis, containing numerous nerve endings. It plays a key role in sexual
pleasure and stimulation.

A

glans penis

17
Q

is a retractable fold of skin that covers the tip of the penis, called the glans

A

foreskin

18
Q

are coiled tubes in the testes where sperm production takes place.

A

seminiferous tubules

19
Q

Cells located in the testicles that produce testosterone, a key hormone in male reproductive
development and function

A

Interstitial cell

20
Q

Cells in the seminiferous tubules that provide nourishment and support to developing sperm cells.

A

Sertoli cell

21
Q

A reproductive cell that gives rise to sperm or eggs; in males, these are the cells that eventually develop
into sperm.

A

Germ cell

22
Q

The undifferentiated germ cells in the testicles from which sperm cells develop.

A

Spermatogonium

23
Q

The cells derived from spermatogonia that undergo meiosis to become spermatids, which then develop
into spermatozoa.

A

Spermatocyte

24
Q

The immature sperm cells that arise from spermatocytes; they mature into spermatozoa.

A

Spermatid

25
Q

The mature male reproductive cells that carry genetic information to the egg during fertilization.
