Made up of lobules that produce milk
Suspensory ligaments = support breast
Tissue extends to shoulder and axilla
Lymph supply = brachial, axillary and pectoral nodes

32

Sperm

A
  1. Head = DNA and acrosome
  2. Midpiece = mitochondria
  3. Tail = flagella
33

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

Oogenesis

A

Oogonia
Primary oocyte
Secondary oocyte
Ovum

43

A

Arrested in meiosis 1 until puberty

44
Q

Primary oocyte

A

Start meiosis 2 after ovulation

45
Q

2ary oocyte

A

Finishes meiosis and becomes ovum after fertilization

46
Q
