24
nourish the sperm cells and produce small amounts of hormone
Sertoli cells
25
divide to form primary spermatocyte
Spermatogonia
26
divide by meiosis to first produce secondary spermatocytes and then spermatids
Primary spermatocytes
27
Male organ of copulation and functions in the transfer of sperm cells from the male to female.
Penis
28
Consists of erectile tissue; engorgement of this erectile tissue with blood causes the penis to enlarge and become firm, a process called erection.
Penis
29
forms the ventral portion and the glans penis, and encloses the spongy urethra.
Corpus spongiosum
30
covers the glans penis.
Prepuce
31
Glands consisting of many saclike structures located next to the ampulla of the ductus deferens
Glands: Seminal Vesicles
32
empty into the ejaculatory duct.
Glands: Seminal Vesicles
33
Consists of glandular and muscular tissue and empties the urethra
Prostate Gland
34
About the size and shape of a walnut.
Prostate Gland
35
Also called the cowper`s glands are a pair of small mucus-secreting glands located nead the base of the penis
Bulbourethral Gland
36
empty the urethra.
Bulbourethral Gland
37
mixture of sperm cells and secretions from the male reproductive glands.
Semen
38
contain sperm cells
Testicular secretions
39
contains nutrients and proteolytic enzymes, and it neutralizes the pH of the vagina.
Prostate fluid
40
movement of sperm cells mucus, prostatic secretions, and seminal vesicle secretion into the prostatic, membranous and spongy urethra
Emission
41
first major component of the male sexual act
Erection
42
forceful expulsion of the secretions that have accumulated in the urethra to the exterior.
Ejaculation
43
small organs suspended in the pelvic cavity by ligaments
Ovaries
44
layer of visceral peritoneum covers the surface of the ovary
Ovaries
45
Release of an oocyte from an ovary. The first meiotic division is completed and secondary oocyte is released
Ovulation
46
usually occurs in the ampulla of the uterine tube, which is near the ovary.
Fertilization
47
Extend from the area of the ovaries to the uterus
Uterine tubes
48
Part of the uterus superior to the entrance of the uterine tube called the fundus
Uterus
48
Is a pear-shaped organ. The uterine cavity and the cervical canal are the spaces formed by the uterus.
Uterus
49
female organ of copulation and function to receive the penis during intercourse
Vagina
49
Main part of the uterus is called the Body, and the narrower part, the Cervix is directed inferiorly.
Uterus
50
Also allows menstrual flow and childbirth
Vagina
51
Extends from the uterus to the outside of the body.
Vagina
52
Consist of a layer of smooth muscle and an inner lining of moist stratified squamous epithelium
Vagina
53
produced by the wall of the vagina
Lubricating fluid
54
covers the vestibular opening of the vagina
Hymen
55
Also called Vulva, or Pudendum, consists of the vestibule and its surrounding structures
External Genitalia
56
the space into which the vagina and urethra open.
Vestibule
57
a small erectile structure, is composed of erectile tissue and contains many sensory receptors important in detecting sexual stimuli
CLITORIS
58
are folds that cover the vestibule and form the prepuce
LABIA MINORA
59
cover the labia minora, and the pudendal cleft is a space between the labia majora
LABIA MAJORA
