Reproductive System Lec only Flashcards
contains testes
with dartos muscle that moves ____ and testes close and away from body depends on temperature.
scrotum (betlog sac)
T or F
sperm must be develop at high body temperature
False
sperm must be develop at less than body temperature
sperm are sensitive to temperature it must be at the range of 1- 8 C
the primary male reproductive organ
testes (main betlog)
-where sperm is produces
T or F
Testes contain/s:
- seminiferous tubules
- interstitial cells
- germ cells
- sustentacular cells
True
where particularly in testes does SPERM IS PRODUCED?
seminiferous tubules
what cell in the testes does secretes testosterone?
Interstitial Cell
part of testes that NOURISHES the germ cell and PRODUCES hormones
Sustentacular Cell
what part of the testes does STARTS SPERM PRODUCTION
GERM CELLS
it is where the seminiferous tubules in the testes secret sperms
and
where maturation of sperm occurs
Epididymis
-sits on each side of the testes
why sperm is needed to mature?
to be able to swim and bind oocyte)
it is close to spermatocyte that makes the sperm cell revive
sustentacular cells
T or F
semen is equal to spermcells
false
semen is a mixture of sperm and liquids secreted in some glands
the liquids in semen protect the sperm cells from the acidic vagina
sperm cells are the ones that swim out of the testes
it is the duct that extend from epididymis and urethra
it also joins the seminal vesicle near the urinary bladder
vas deference AKA ductus deference
-it is commonly cut during vasectomy
T or F
the common passageway of urine and semen passes at the same time
False
passageway of urine and seme
Urethra
composed of 3 erectile tissue:
- corpus cavernosum
- corpus spongiosum
- spongy urethra
Penis
-transfers sperm to the female
3 glands located in the urinary system of male?
Seminal Vesicles
Prostate Gland
Bulbourethral Gland
it secretes the 60% or 2/3 of the semen amount
seminal vesicle
with enzyme to liquefy semen AFTER it is inside the vagina
prostate gland
-neutralizes acidic vagina
it NEUTRALIZES BOTH URETHRA of male and female
bulbourethral Gland
T or F
seminal vesicles contains PROSTAGLANDINS that
DECREASE mucus thickness in the cervix and uterine tubes so that sperm can move through femare reproductive tract
True
mixture of sperm and secretions from glands
SEMEN (modtakels)
2-5ml of semen is ejaculated each time
every 1 ml of semen has 1000 Million sperm cells
