work book chapter 23 Flashcards
Connect the seminal vesicle and the vas deferens to the urethra at the verumontanum
Ejaculatory ducts
Reservoirs of sperm located posterior to the bladder
Seminal vesicles
Plexus of veins in the spermatic cord that drain into the right and left testicular veins
Pampiniform plexus
Junction of the ejaculatory ducts with the urethra
Verumomtanum
Male gonad that produces hormones that induce masculine features and spermatozoa
Testicle
AN extension of the internal oblique muscle that descends to the testis with the spermatic cord
Cermasteric muscle
Membrane consisting of a visceral layer and a parietal layer lining the inner wall of the scrotum
Tunica vaginalis
Partially supply the scrotal wall and epididymis occasionally the lower pole of the testis
Pudendal artery
Tube that connects the epididymis to the seminal vesicle
Vas deferens
Anatomic structure formed by the network of ducts leaving the mediastinum testis that combine into a single, convoluted epididymal tubule
Epididymis
Artery arising from the aorta just distal to each renal artery
Testicular artery
Central linear structure formed by the convergence of multiple, thin septations within the testicle, which are invaginations of the tunica albuginea
Mediastinum testis
Small membranous canal that extends from the bladder to the end of the penis
Urethra
Multiple septa formed from the tunica albuginea that course toward the mediastinum testis and separate the testicle into lobules
Septa testis
Inner fibrous membrane surrounding the testicles
Tunica albuginea
