21

A

testosterone

21
Q

another tube passes from the epididymis into the body and through the prostate gland

A

vas deferens

23
Q

the union of sex cells outside the bodies of the parents

A

external fertilization

24
Q

this gland surrounds the neck of the bladder in males

A

prostate gland

25
as sperm move through the vas deferens, they mix with fluids from several glands, including the prostate gland. this mixture of sperm and fluids is called
semen
26
to leave the body, semen passes through the vas deferens into the
urethra
27
the tube that runs through the penis
urethra
28
the external organ that transfers semen into the female's body
penis
29
the female organ the produces eggs
ovaries
30
female sex hormones the regulate the release of eggs and development of female characteristics
estrogen and progesterone
31
regulates temperature for the sperm
scrotum
32
this tube leaded from each ovary into the uterus
fallopian tube
33
the organ in which an embryo develops into a fetus
uterus
34
