Quiz 11 Flashcards
Describe the function of the cremaster muscle
elevates and depresses the testicles for temperature regulation
Where is the sustentacular cells located?
within the seminiferous tubules
Where are myoepithelial cells located?
breast tissue
What is the function of the sustentacular cells?
Provides an optimal environment for sperm development, makes testosterone
Where is the cremaster muscle located?
within the scrotum
identify the stimulus, the gland/cell type that is releasing testosterone, the target tissue and the action that testosterone induces
stimulus: leutinizing hormone
Source: testes
Function: development of secondary sex characteristics of male, increase libido, spermatogenesis
identify the stimulus, the gland/cell type that is releasing the estrogen, the target tissue and the action that estrogen induces
Stimulus: Follicle stimulating hormone
Sources: Ovaries
Function: Build endothelial lining of uterus, inhibits GnRH, stimulate breast development, increase water retention in kidneys
identify the stimulus, the gland/cell type that is releasing the progesterone, the target tissue and the action that progesterone
stimulus: leutinizing hormone
Source: ovarian follicles
Function: builds and maintains endothelial lining of uterus, prepares milk for milk secretion, decrease water retention in kidney
Describe the pathway sperm travel from synthesis to ejaculation
Seminiferous tubule, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, urethra, penis
Describe the pathway secondary oocytes travel from synthesis to uterus (fertilized and non-fertilized)
Follicle to fimbriae, fallopian tube (where fertilization may or may not occur), uterus (where it is embedded in the endometrium)
Produces nutrients for sperm and alkaline fluid
Seminal vesicle
Produce protein rich fluid for lubrication
bulbourethral gland
nutrient for sperm, antibiotic fluid for immune defense, and liquefaction of semen
prostate gland
