A

Seminal vesicle and vas deferens meet

39
Q

Hypospadias

A

Incomplete closure of urethra in males

40
Q

Path of sperm

A

Seminiferous tubules - epididymis - vas deferens - ejaculatory ducts - urethra

41
Q

Semen

A

Sperm + glandular fluids

42

A

Oogonia
Primary oocyte
Secondary oocyte
Ovum

43

44
Q

Primary oocyte

A

Start meiosis 2 after ovulation

45
Q

2ary oocyte

A

Finishes meiosis and becomes ovum after fertilization

46
