Q

arise from abdominal aorta

A

testicular arteries

24
Q

arise from pampiniform venous plexus surrounding each testicular artery

A

testicular veins

25
what are the ducts that carry sperm from testes to exterior of body?
epididymis ductus deferens ejaculatory duct urethra
26
contains efferent ductules and is located on superior aspect of testis located on posterolateral area of testis
head
27
is ~6m in legnth; makes up most of the epididymis
duct of the epididymis
28
absorb testicular fluid and pass nutrients to stored sperm
microvilli
29
~45 cm long passes through inguinal canal to pelvic cavity extends from epididymis to ejaculatory duct
ductus deferens
30
cutting and ligating ductus deferens
vasectomy
31
expels both urine and semen extends from bladder to tip of penis
urethra
32
what are the 3 regions of the urethra
prostatic urethra intermediate part of the urethra (membranous) spongy urethra
33
surrounded by prostate
prostatic urethra
34
in urogenital diaphragm
intermediate part of the urethra (membraneous)
35
runs through penis; opens at external urethral orifice
spongy urethra
36
male copulatory organ made up of spongy urethra and 3 cylindrical bodies of erectile tissue
penis
37
scrotum and penis
external genitalia
38
surgical removal of foreskin
circumcision
38
what does the penis consist of?
root and shift/body prepuce/foreskin
38
anchors penis to pubic arch
crura
38
surrounds urethra and expands to form glans and bulb
corpus spongiosum
39
paired (2) dorsal erectile bodies, proximal ends from the crura
corpora cavernosa
40
erectile tissue fills with blood, causing penis to enlarge and become rigid
erection
40
a pair of glands on posterior bladder surface contains smooth muscle that contracts during ejaculation produces viscous alkaline seminal fluid
seminal glands (vesicles)
41
diamond-shaped region between pubic symphysis, coccyx, and ischial tuberosities suspends scrotum contains root of penis and anus
male perineum
42
encircles urethra inferior to bladder size of peach put consist of smooth muscle that contracts during ejaculation secretes milky slightly acid fluid
prostate
43
pea-sized glands inferior to prostate produce thick, clear mucus during sexual arousal lubricate glans penis neutralize traces of acidic urine in urethra
bulbo-urethral glands
44
milky-white mixture of sperm and accessory gland secretions contains fructose from seminal glans and activating fluid from prostate, and mucus from buldo-urethral glands alkaline fluid neutralizes acidity of male urethra and female vagina and enhances motility
semen
45
what are the characteristics of semen?
* Contain prostaglandins that decrease viscosity of mucus in cervix and stimulate reverse peristalsis in uterus * Contains the hormone relaxin and other enzymes that enhance sperm motility * Contains ATP for energy * Can suppress female immune response * Antibiotic chemicals destroy some bacteria * Clotting factors coagulate semen initially to prevent draining out, then liquefy it by fibrinolysin so sperm can finish journey
46
enlargement and stiffening of penis
erection
47
are normally constricted when not sexually aroused; penis is flaccid
arterioles
48
causes CNA activation of parasympathetic neurons, which released NO
sexual excitement
49
expulsion of semen from male duct system sympathetic spinal reflex
ejaculation
50
how many chromosomes do most body cells have
26, 2 sets of s3
51
one, maternal, one paternal
homologous chromosomes
52
two sets of 23 pairs
diploid chromosomal number (2n)
53
have only 23 chromosomes
haploid chromosomal number (n)
