the male organ of copulation and urination.
PENIS
a rugated, skin-covered, muscular pouch suspended from the perineum containing the testes; covered by sparse hair after puberty.
SCROTUM
two ovoid glands, 2 to 3 cm wide, that rest in the scrotum.
TESTES
FUNCTIONS OF TESTES
Hormone Production & Spermatogenesis
Production or maturation of sperm cell
Spermatogenesis
a tightly coiled tube about 6m (20 ft) long that caps the superior part of the testis.
EPIDIDYMIS
an additional hollow tube surrounded by arteries and veins and protected by a thick fibrous coating, which, altogether, are referred to as the spermatic cord.
VAS DEFERENS
are two convoluted pouches that lie along the lower portion of the bladder and empty into the urethra by ejaculatory ducts. These glands secrete a viscous alkaline liquid with a high sugar, protein, and prostaglandin content. Sperm become increasingly motile because this added fluid surrounds them with a more favorable pH environment.
THE SEMINAL VESICLES
pass through the urethra and then, connect the seminal vesicles to the urethra carrying the secretions of the said organs; the passageway of the semen.
EJACULATORY DUCT
lies just below the bladder and allows the urethra to pass through the center of it. The gland’s 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.
THE PROSTATE GLAND
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.
THE URETHRA
The structures that form the female external genitalia are termed the ___
VULVA
vulva; from the Latin word for __
COVERING
refers to the entire female external genitalia.
VULVA or PUDENDA
a pad of adipose tissue located over the symphysis pubis, the pubic bone joint. Covered by a triangle of coarse, curly hairs, the purpose of the mons veneris is to protect the junction of the pubic bone from trauma.
THE MONS PUBIS OR MONS VENERIS
two folds of tissue, fused anteriorly but separated posteriorly, which are positioned lateral to the labia minora and composed of loose connective tissue covered by epithelium and pubic hair.
THE LABIA MAJORA
two hairless thin folds of connective tissue that joins anteriorly to form the prepuce and posteriorly to form the fourchette.
THE LABIA MINORA
a small (approximately 1 to 2 cm), rounded organ of erectile tissue at the forward junction of the labia minora.
THE CLITORIS
located on each side of the vaginal opening with ducts that open into the proximal vagina near the labia minora and hymen.
BARTHOLIN GLANDS (vulvovaginal glands)
are located on each side of the urinary meatus; their ducts open into the urethra.
SKENE GLANDS (paraurethral glands)
Female internal reproductive organs
the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, and the vagina.
is a hollow, musculomembranous canal about 8 to 12cm long located posterior to the bladder and anterior to the rectum. It extends from the cervix of the uterus to the external vulva.
THE VAGINA
Functions of vagina
- Organ of Copulation
- Discharges Menstrual flow
- Birth Canal
to act as the organ of intercourse and to convey sperm to the cervix.
Organ of Copulation
it expands to serve as the birth canal during childbirth
