Q

Testies origin

A

posterior wall of the abdominal cavity

17
Q

Inguinal canal

A

passage in the anterior abdominal wall that in men conveys the spermatic cord

18
Q

Vas deferens

A

duct which conveys sperm from the testies to the urethra

19
Q

Seminiferous tubules

A

Sperm produced

20
Q

Sperm pathway from seminiferous tubules to vas deferens

A

seminiferous tubules
rete testis
head of the epididymis
tails of the epididymis

21
Q

dartos smooth muscle

A

regulate temperature of scrotum

22
Q

Spermatic cord

A

vas deferens
testicular artery
paminiform plexus of veins

23
Q

Accessory reproductive organs

A

vas defers
seminal glands
prostate gland
penis

24
Q

Male reproductive stages

A
  • testes in scrotum
  • sperm in testes
  • sperm: testies –> vas deferens
  • vas deferens lie within the spermatic cord
  • spermatic cord passes through the inguinal canal –> pelvic cavity
  • vas deferens connect with seminal glads to form ejaculatory duct
  • R. + L. ejaculatory ducts join together within the prostate gland & drain into the urethra
25
Q

Seminal glands

A

produce seminal fluid

26
Q

Ejaculatory duct contains

A

Semen = sperm + seminal fluid

27
Q

Male sterilisation

A

vasectomy - vas deferens is transected & lumen sutured
