reproductive (male and female) Flashcards
Tunica Vaginalis
serous membrane that lines scrotal cavity and covers the testes, which reduces friction between scrotom and testes
what is the smooth muscle that causes wrinkles?
Dartos Muscle
Tunica albuginea
layer of dense irregular tissue inside the tunica vaginalis
what separates testis into lobules?
septa
what contains about 800cm of seminiferous tubules?
a lobule
seminiferous tubule?
produces sperm
rete testis
connect seminiferous tubules to efferent ductules
connects rete testis to epididymis
efferent ductules
tube where sperm matures
epididymis
ductus deferens
transports and stores sperm
ampulla
expanded lumen of ductus deferens
Seminal vesicles
secrections contribute to semen
what secretions also contribute to semen but contain antibiotic compounds to
prostate gland
Bulbourethral gland (cowpers gland)
secrete alkaline mucus to neutralize urine
urethra
is a part of both the urinary and reproductive system
spongy urethra
through penis
external urethral oriface
opening in glans penis
corpus spongiosum
erectile tissue surrounding penile urethra
what is 2 pieces of erectile tissue
corpora cavernosa
Prepuse (foreskin)
fold of skin that covers glans penis and is removed during circumcision
corpus luteum
endocrine structure
suspensory ligament
stabilizes the ovaries and contains ovarian arteries and veins
ovarian ligament
stabilizes ovary
unterine tubes
also called oviducts or fallopian tubes
Fimbriae
finger like projections
external os
orifice that leads to vagina
wall of the uterus (3)
perimetrium- covers uterus
myometrium- smooth muscle
endometrium- lost during menstruation
broad ligament
mesentary that encloses ovaries, uterus and urine tube
round ligament
restricts posterior movement of uterus
recouterine pouch
between posterior wall of uterus and anterior wall of colon
vesicouterine pouch
between uterus and posterior wall of bladder
fornix
shallow recess surrounding the portion of cervix that extend to vagina
vulva
area external genitalia
mons pubis
layer of adipose tissue that cushions pubic symphysis
vestibule
central space surrounded by labia minora
greater vestibular glands and ducts (bartholin’s glands)
release secretions into vaginal entrance during arousal
lobes
compartments in a mammary gland that are composed of several lobules
lobules
contains several secretory alveoli
secretory alveoli
milk - secretory glands
lactiferous ducts
ducts leaving each lobe
lactiferous sinuses
enlarged chamber formed by lactiferous ducts near nipple
