spermatozoa

28
Q

The nucleus of a sperm cell is coverd by what

A

an acrosome

29
Q

what does acrosome do

A

it is a specialized structure containing enzymes that enable the sperm to break down the covering of the ovum and permit entry if contact occurs

A

Seminal vesicles

44
Q

Shaped like a doughnut and lies just below the bladder

A

Prostate gland

45
Q

Functions of the bulbourethral glands

A

1) neutralize any residue of sperm damaging acidic urine in the terminal urethra
2) lubricates the urethra to protect the sperm from friction damage during ejaculation
