18
Q

Descending aorta

A

transports oxygenated blood down

19
Q

20
Q

Ureter

A

ureter is a tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder

21
Q

Urinary Bladder

22
Q

Umbilical vein

A

carries oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from the placenta to the fetus

23
Q

Umbilical artery

A

carry deoxygenated, nutrient-depleted blood from the fetus to the placenta

24
Q

Urethra

A

the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside of the body. In males, it has the additional function of ejaculating semen when the man reaches orgasm. When the penis is erect during sex, the flow of urine is blocked from the urethra, allowing only semen to be ejaculated at orgasm

25
Ovaries
produce oocytes (eggs) for fertilisation and they produce the reproductive hormones
26
Uterus
nurturing the fertilized ovum that develops into the fetus and holding it till the baby is mature enough for birth.
27
Uterine Horns
the points where the uterus and the fallopian tubes meet. Allows sperm to ascend
28
vagina
receives the penis during sexual intercourse and also serves as a conduit for menstrual flow from the uterus. During childbirth, the baby passes through the vagina
29
Scrotum
contains the testicles (also called testes), as well as many nerves and blood vessels. The scrotum has a protective function and acts as a climate control system for the testes.
30
Testes
the glands where sperm and testosterone are produced
31
Epididymis
a long, coiled tube that stores sperm and transports it from the testes.
32
Inguinal canal
The structures which pass through the canals differ between males and females: in males: the spermatic cord and its coverings + the ilioinguinal nerve. in females: the round ligament of the uterus + the ilioinguinal nerve.
33
Vas deferens
long, muscular tube that travels from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity, to just behind the bladder. The vas deferens transports mature sperm to the urethra
34
Seminal vesicle
seminal vesicle, holds the liquid that mixes with sperm to form semen. (the hidden thing under bladder that mr d tried to show)
35
Cowpers gland
produce a mucous-like fluid called pre-ejaculate. The pre-ejaculate fluid is a viscous, clear, and salty liquid that neutralizes any residual acidity in the urethra.
