25
hydrocele
fluid in tunica vaginalis testes (the space)
26
cause of hydrocele
suspect from increased secretion of serous fluid case from parietal peritoneum
27
sign of hydrocele
shine a light through scrotum it will be luminous (transilumination)
28
hematocele
blood in scrotum
29
inguinal hernia check where
superficial inguinal ring
30
on tip of finger its what typeof hernia
indirect
31
on side of finger is what type of hernia
direct
32
what are the dimentions of the testis
4-5 cm long, 3 cm wide, 2 cm thick
33
what is the serous membrane that covers the testes called
tunica vaginalis
34
internal to the tunica vaginalis is a dense white fibrous capsule called
tunica albuginea
35
what are the two layers of the tunica vaginalis
parietal and visceral layer
36
function of testes
production of sperm by seminiferous tubules | secretion of testosterone by interstitial cells
37
where do you find the interstitial cells
seminiferous tubules
38
what hormones stimulate the testes
LH (ICSH) and FSH
39
what does the pituitary gland secrete to stimulate spermatigogenesis
fsh
40
what does icsh stand for
interstitial cell stimulating hormone
41
what does lh do
stimulates interstitial cells to produce testosterone
42
whats responsible for male secondary sex characteristics
testosterone
43
why does the scrotum wrinkle
cold weather to maintain the temperature constant if warm it hangs sexual arousal right before ejaculation
44
what two muscles keep the testes close to the cavity
cremasteric and dartos
45
blood supply of testes
testicular a
46
nerve supply of testes
testicular plexus T10
47
why when get hit in balls it hurts around umbilicus
cause testes innervated by t10
48
where do you find the testicular plexus
just below renal a from abdominal aorta
49
what od they do to induce descent of testes
inject HCG or testosterone | surgery
50
what could happen if left testes in cavity
sterility cause too warm | predispose to testicular cancer
51
testicular torsion what is it
ligament that attaches the testes to bottom of scrotum you could lose blood supply to testes cause it twists
52
what does didumos mean
twins
53
what does epididymis stand for
on top of the twins
54
what are part of the male reproductive tract
epididymis ductus deferens ejaculatory ducts urethra
55
what is the epidiymids shape nad length
comma shaped structure about 1.5 inches long curved over the back and upper end of testis. irregularly twisted tube 15-20ft long when straightened (almost as long as small intestines)
56
functions of epididymus
monitors and adjusts the composition of the tubular fluid site of sperm maturation storage of sperm helps in propelling sperm cells toward the urethra acts as a recycling center for damaged spermatozoa
57
what part of epididymis becomes vas deferens
tail of epidiymis
58
the vas deferens goes behind () and crosses () and emerges through the () () (), and enters () ()
bladder and crosses ureter, emerges through deep inguinal ring and enters pelvic cavity
59
how long is vas deferens
18 inches
60
does the vas deferens pass through the inguinal canal
yes
61
vas deferens ends as a dilated portion called
ampulla
62
the ampulla joins the () to form the ejaculatory duct
duct of seminal vesicle
63
vas deferens function
convey mature sperm from epididymis to ejaculatory duct
64
how long is the ejaculatory duct
2cm in length
65
ejaculatory duct formed by union of
vas deferens and duct of seminal vesicle
66
the ejaculatory duct pierces the posterior surface of () and open into the prostatic part of the ()
prostate, part of urethra
67
function of ejaculatory ducts
drains seminal fluid into the prostatic urethra
68
what are the three parts of urethra
prostatic urethra membranous urethra penile urethra
69
what happens when get enlarged prostate
causes constriction of urethra so have problems with urination and goin a lot and retaining it
70
accessory glands in the male
seminal vesicles prostate gland bulbourethral gland (cowper's gland) urethral glands (glands of littre)
71
what is the seminal vesicles
two lobulated organs about 2 inch long
72
where does the seminal vesicles lie
posterior surface/base of urinary bladder and lateral to ampulla of vas def
73
function of seminal vesicles
secrete alkaline, viscous fluid that contains the sugar fructose, prostaglandins, amd clotting proteins (semenogelin)
74
the fluid of the seminal vesicle secretion constitutes % of volume of semen
60% majority of it
75
what does prostaglandins do
helps propel the sperm and stimulates the female genital tract to propel the sperm
76
what does semenogelin do
clumps semen
