16
Q

encodes for a protein that causes the development of testes in males

17
Q

a fibromuscular cord that leads testes through the inguinal canal to the scrotum

18
Q

sac of skin and tissue surrounding testes, oval shaped

19
Q

helps regulate temperature within testes and is used for protection

20
Q

2 muscles involved in temp regulation by control tension in males

A

dartos and cremaster

21
Q

embedded in superficial fascia wrinkles the scrotal skin, pulling testes closer to the body, contracts to warm testes, relaxes to cool testes

A

dartos muscle

22
Q

pulls testes closer to body, continuation of the internal oblique muscle

A

cremaster muscle

23
Q

a series of veins that cool arterial blood flowing through the testicular artery supplying the testes

A

pampiniform plexus

24
Q

normal testes temp

A

3 degrees cooler than body temperature

25
contains 200-300 testicular lobules
each testis
26
the 1-4 coiled tubules per lobule, produce sperm cells (spermatozoa)
seminiferous tubules
27
process of making sperm cells
spermatogenesis
28
last stage of spermatogenesis in which spermatids differentiate into spermatozoa
spermiogenesis
29
within this unit, sperm cells become motile (can swim) and are capable of fertilizing ovum
epididymis
30
long hollow tube, transports sperm cells emersed in testicular fluid from the epididymis to seminal vesicles
vas deferens
31
produces around 60% of all seminal fluids
seminal vesicles
32
made by convergence of the vas deferens with the seminal vesicles, the ducts transport ejaculate to the prostate gland
ejaculatory ducts
33
produces around 30% of all seminal fluid, contributes slightly acidic, white-colored fluid which has mucous
prostate gland
34
account for producing less than 10% of ejaculate, paired pea shaped glands alongside the membranous urethra
Cowper's (bulbourethral) glands
35
surrounded by the prostate gland
prostatic urethra
36
shortest urethral section, located/embedded in a muscular triangle called the urogenital diaphragm
membranous urethra
37
external, contains spongy body of the penis
penile/spongy urethra
