Q

Structure of the epididymis

A

Q

How does an erection happen

A

Arterial blood flow to corpus cavernosa increases causing increase in size and rigidity
Corposa spongiosum prevents the urethra from being compressed which would prevent ejaculation

Q

function of vas deferens

A

a tube that carries sperm from the epididymis up the spermatic cord and through the inguinal canal into the urethra in preparation for ejaculation

22
Q

how does the vas deferens terminate

A

joining the duct of the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct

23

26
Q

histological structure of the uterus

A

Endometrium- uterine mucous membrane, simple columnar
Myometrium - three smooth muscle layers
Perimetrium. - equals the peritoneum and is surrounded by a thin connective tissue layer

27

function of cervix

A

facilitates the passage of sperm into the uterine cavity

maintains sterility of the upper female reproductive tract
