final prep Flashcards
components of the male reproductive system
scrotum testis penis urethra accessory glands
scrotum
pouch of skin that protects the testis
divided into two portions
line dividing them is called the SEPTUM
testis
located outside the body
housed in the scrotum
needed to be outside due to temperature regulation
what is the negative effect of heat to testicles
kill off sperm
why are testicles separated by the septum
to localize infection or injury if occurred in one it may not transfer to another
how are testicles supported/protected in the scrotum
covered in skin
2 layers of muscle underneath
dartos is smooth muscle
cresmaster is skeletal layer
what is the function of muscle layers in the scrotum
muscles - dartos and cresmaster
pull the testes upward against the body to keep them warm and to save them from freezing
the cresmaster is a branch of the internal oblique muscle of the abdomen
where to the blood vessels, nerves, arteries and veins run through
spermatic cord
where does the spermatic cord run through
the inguilinal ring
if you cause injury or hernia occur do to muscle opening from where testis drop - ring is a weak point for males
tunica vaginalis
layer of a serous membrane formed from the peritonitum outside the body surrounding the testical previously was a internal serous membrane
tunica albugina
sub divides into lobules, draws inwards + makes a division in lobules the SEMINIFERIOUS TUBULE
seminiferious tubule
is there to create sperm from day to day
the journey of sperm
sperm is created in the seminiferious tuble,
once made the go to the straight tubule, then to the retee teste —- movement possible due to smooth muscle contraction, move to efferent ductus to epidymis ( mature in the epidimysis) - once ready to leave they go to the ductus deferns
layers of reproductive system
mucosal
muscularis
adventia
where do sperm enter when they are ready to leave the body
ductus deferns
does the epididymis move sperm better then the ductus deferns
no! the ductus deferens is more efficient at moving sperm
ductus deferens
takes sperm from testicle to the outside world has three layers of muscle longitutidional circular longitutidonal
urthera runs through the center
penis is broken down into 3 parts
root - attached to body
shaft - the main body of the penis
glands penis - head
penis function
introduce sperm to female
in a cross section of the penis there are 3 compartments
a pair of corpora cavernous - have large blood vessels to cause irrection - spongy filled with blood to create pressure (x2)
corpa spongisosum - where the urethra runs through
controlled by the parasympathetic division of the nervous system
what is a joint
where two or more bones attach
they help with movement, mobility, and shock absorption
joints hold us together - act a connection
how are joints classified
by structure and movement type
types of joints
fibrious
cartligionious
synovial
what is the most common kind of joint
synovial
