Q

Secretes mucus-like fluid, this fluid lubricates the end of the penis. Also neutralizes urine

A

Bulbourethral

23
Q

Internal root that anchors it to the body wall

24
Q

A males sexual response, tissues fills with blood

25
Erectile tissue does not expand enough to compress veins
Erectile dysfunction
26
Emission and explussion
Orgasm
27
Sperm enter the urethra from each ejaculatory duct
Emission
28
Once fluid is in the urethra, rhythmic muscle contractions cause seminal fluid to be expelled from penis in spurts
Expulsion
29
Does not bring about an erection
Refractory period
30
Causes pitutiary gland in the brain to make and secrete hormones
Gonadotropin
31
Stimulates gamete production in the male and female
Follicle-stimulating hormone
32
Stimulates sex hormone in male and female
Luteinizing follicle
33
Blocks gonadotropin hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone secretion when sperm production is too rapid
Inhibin
34
The testes produce several male sex hormones, which are called androgens
Testosterone
35
Develops at the time of puberty and visibly distinguish males from females
Secondary sex characteristics
36
Produces ova and the female sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone
Ovaries
37
Finger-like projections on the ends of the fallopian tubes closest to your ovaries
Fimbriae
38
Occurs as the embryo embeds in the uterine lining
Implantation
39
Inner lining of the uterus, provides nutrients needed for fetal development
Endometrium
40
Birth canal and organ of sexual intercourse in female
Vagina
41
Contains opening of the urethra and the vagina
Vulva
42
The production of an ovum, includes the process of meiosis
oogenesis
43
Fluid filled cavity in the ovary that contains a secondary oocyte and is ready to rupture and release the oocyte during ovulation
Vesicular follicle
44
A haploid cell that is produced during the process of oogenesis and is an immature form of an ovum
Secondary oocyte
45
Functions to hold discarded chromosomes
Polar body
46
Release of the secondary oocyte surrounded by a clear membrane and attached follicular cells
Ovulation
47
A follicle that has released its secondary oocyte, a gland-like structure
Corpus luteum
48
The remains of a corpus luteum is a white scar
Corpus albicans
49
Pregnancy that occurs outside of the uterus
Ectopic pregnancy
50
the organ in the lower body of a woman or female mammal where offspring are conceived and in which they gestate before birth; the womb
Uterus
51
Has sensory receptors that allow it to function as a sexually sensitive organ
Clitoris
52
Small droplets of fluid that seep into the vagina and lubricates it
Bartholin gland
53
Monthly series of events that involve the ovaries and uterus along with the hormones
Menstrual cycle
