51
What do the two seminal vesicles contribute to semen?
Fructose about 60% of total volume in semen
52
What does the Prostate gland contribute to semen?
Secretes alkaline directly into urethra through small ducts
53
What do the Bulbourethral Glands contribute?
Secrete alkaline, a clear mucus before ejaculation that neutralizes acidic urine remaining in the urethra
54
Penis Composure
3 cylinders of spongy erectile tissue
55
What are the 3 parts of the penis?
1) glans 2) shaft 3) prepuce
56
What is an Erection?
Erectile tissue fills with blood from arteries During sexual arousal
57
What is the Glans?

What happens every menstrual cycle regarding endometrium?
Endometrium thickens with blood vessels for embryo implantation
98
Describe the Ovarian Cycle (follicular cycle) (5)
1) Begins with GnRH gets released by hypothalamus 2) GnRH stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete FSH and LH 3) FSH stimulates follicle growth with help from LH 4) Follicles start to make estradiol 5) Maturing Follicle enlarges to form a bulge at surface of ovary
99
Describe the Ovarian Cycle (luteal phase) (2)
1) LH stimulates remaining follicular tissue to form 2) Corpus luteum secretes progesterone and estradiol inhibiting hypothalamus
