38
Parenchymal (primary tissue)
produces sex cells for reproduction
39
Stromal (secondary tissue)
includes all glands nerves, ducts, and other tissues that support, maintain, and transmit sex cells
40
Gonads
Parenchymal organs that produce sex cells(gametes) in both genders
41
Gametes
sex cells produced by gonads
42

Specific sperm penetrates and unites with the ovum to begin formation of an embryo
48
Spermatic cord
Enclosedsheath containing vas deferens, arteries, veins, nerves
49
Ejaculation
When seminal fluid (semen) is ejected from the urethra
50
Testosterone
Sex hormone responsible for growth and development of male characteristics
51

-spadias
a rent or tear
53
Hypospadias
