Q

Sperm is capable of surviving for____inside the
woman’s body.

Q

fewer than 20 million sperm per milliliter

A

Oligospermia

38
Q

A.k.a the ductus deferens

A

VAS DEFERENS

39
Q

is an additional hollow tube
surrounded by arteries and
protected by a thick fibrous
coating, which altogether, are
referred to as the

A

spermatic
cord

40
Q

It carries sperm from the
epididymis through the inguinal
canal into the abdominal cavity,
where it ends at the seminal
vesicles and the ejaculatory
ducts below the bladder.

A

Vas Deferens

41
Q

are two convoluted pouches that
lie along the lower portion of the
bladder and empty into the
urethra by ejaculatory ducts.

A

Seminal Vesicle

42
Q

These glands secrete a viscous
alkaline liquid with a high
sugar, protein, and
prostaglandin content.

A

Seminal Vesicle

43
Q

is a chestnut-size gland
that lies just below the
bladder and allows the
urethra to pass through
the center of it, like the
hole in a doughnut.

A

Prostate Gland

44
Q

to secrete a
thin, alkaline fluid

A

Prostate Gland

45
Q

Bulbourethral Glands (a.k.a

A

Cowper Glands

46
Q

They supply one
more
source of alkaline fluid
to
help ensure the safe
passage of
spermatozoa

A

Bulbourethral Glands

47
Q

Semen, therefore, is derived from:

A

A. the prostate gland (60%),
b. the seminal vesicles (30%),
c. the epididymis (5%), and
d. the bulbourethral glands (5%).

48
Q

lie beside the
prostate gland and
empty by short ducts
into the urethra.

A

Bulbourethral Glands

49
Q

is a hollow tube leading from the base of the bladder,
which, after passing through the prostate gland,
continues to the outside through the shaft and glans
of the p

A

Urethra

50
Q

refers to
the structures that form the female external
genitalia.

A

Vulva or pudenda

51
Q

to protect the junction of the pubic bone
from trauma.

A

Mons veneris or mons pubis

52
Q

is a pad of adipose
tissue located over the symphysis pubis, the pubic
bone joint.
❑ It is covered by a triangle of coarse, curly hairs
known as “escutcheon”

A

Mons veneris or mons pubis

53
Q

serves as protection for the external genitalia;
they shield the outlets to the urethra and vagina.
Gapes widen every after birth

A

LABIA MAJORA

54
Q

are two folds of tissue, fused
anteriorly but separated posteriorly, and are
positioned lateral to the labia minora and
composed of loose connective tissue covered by
epithelium and pubic hair.

A

Labia majora

55
Q

are pink in
color; the internal surface is covered with mucus
membrane, and the external surface is covered with
skin. The area is abundant with sebaceous glands.

A

LABIA MINORA

56
Q

just posterior to the mons veneris
spreading two hairless folds of connective tissue
that joins anteriorly to form prepuce and
posteriorly to form fourchette.

A

LABIA MINORA

57
Q

is a small (approximately 1 to 2 cm), rounded
organ of erectile tissue at the forward junction of the
labia minora.
? It is covered by a fold of skin, the prepuce; is sensitive to
touch and temperature; and it is the center of sexual
arousal and orgasm in a woman.

A

Clitoris

58
Q

Female Genitalia Mutilation

A

TYPE 1 CLITORIDECTOMY
TYPE 2 EXCISION
TYPE 3 INFIBULATION
TYPE 4-PRICKING,PIERCING,INCISING, SCRAPING
AND CAUTERIING THE GENITAL AREA

59
Q

refers to the practice of cutting open the
sealed vaginal opening

A

DEINFIBULATION

60
Q

located on each
side of the urinary meatus; their ducts open into the
urethra.

A

Skene glands (paraurethral glands)

61
Q

are located on
each side of the vaginal opening with ducts that open into
the proximal vagina near the labia minora and hymen.

A

Bartholin glands (vulvovaginal glands)

62
Q

(the most
common site) become infected, they swell, feel tender, and
produce a serous discharge.

A

Skene glands or the Bartholin glands

63
Q

is the
ridge of tissue
formed by the
posterior joining of
the labia minora and
the labia majora.

A

FOURCHETTE

64
Q

This is the structure
that sometimes tears
(laceration) or is cut
(episiotomy) during
childbirth to enlarge
the vaginal opening.

A

FOURCHETTE

65
Q

posterior to the fourchette, a
muscular area that is capable of stretching
during childbirth to allow enlargement of the
vagina and passage of the fetal head.

A

Perineum

66
Q

a tough but elastic semicircle of tissue that
covers the opening to the vagina during childhood.
- It is often torn during the time of first sexual
intercourse.
