40
Acrosome
an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the head in the spermatozoa
41
Aspermia
lack or absence of sperm
42
Autosome
a chromosome that is not an allosome (a sex chromosome)
43
Biflagellate
having 2 flagellum
44
Bulbourethral gland
also called a cowper's gland. serves to lubricate the male urethra to prepare it for ejaculation
45
Capacitation
the final step in the maturation of spermatozoa and is required to render them competent to fertilize and oocyte
46
Chromosome
DNA threadlike structures of organisms containing genes (alleles); "colorful body"
47
Diploid
having two haploid sets of homologous chromosomes
48
Ductus Deferens
part of the male reproductive system; these tube transport sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts in anticipation of ejaculation. AKA: Vas Deferens
49
Ejaculation
emission of semen from the penis
50
Epididymis
a tube that connects a testicle to a vas deferens in the male reproductive system. spermatids mature here by acquiring their flagellum. "on the twins"
51
Gamete
male or female reproductive cell having the haploid number of chromosomes
52
Genitalia
male and female reproductive structures
53
Genitourinary
of or relating to the genital and urinary organs and their functions
54
Genotype
the actual composition of the alleles (genes)
55
Groin
depression marking the juncture of the lower abdomen and the inner part of the thigh
56
Haploid
having the gametic number (half) of chromosomes typically including one of each pair of homologous chromosomes
57
Heterozygous
having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes
58
Homozygous
having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes
59
Inguinal
of, relating to, or situated in the region of the groin or in either of the lowest lateral regions of the abdomen
60
Membranous Urethra
intermediate part of male urethra
61
Oscheitis
inflammation fo the scrotum
62
Orchitis
inflammation of the testes
63
Perineum
the space between the anus and scrotum in the male and between the anus and the vulva in the female
64
Phenotype
the observable expression of genes (alleles)
65
Prostatic urethra
part of the male urethra from the base of the prostate gland where the urethra begins as the outlet of the bladder to the point where it emerges from the apex of the prostate gland
66
Scrotal
pertaining to the testicular sac
67
Seminal
pertaining to semen
68
Seminal Vesicle
a pair of simple tubular glands posteroinferior to the urinary bladder of some male mammals
69
Seminiferous
tubules the are located within the testes, and are the specific location of meiosis, and the subsequent creation of male gametes
70
Spermatogenesis
the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis
71
Spongy Urethra
the penile portion of the urethra
72
Testosterone
hormone produced by testes and is responsible for inducing and maintaining male secondary sex characteristic
73
Vas Deferens
the duct from the epididymis to the seminal vesicle
