Male Reproductive System Flashcards
(19 cards)
This is the gamete producing gland for a male
What is a gonad?
The male gamete is known as this
What is the sperm?
The female gamete is this?
What is the ovum a.k.a. over a.k.a. egg
This is an outpouching of the abdominal wall in a male and is described as a double pouch, like structure, and contains the testes
Externally it appears as a single pouch, but internally it is separated into two sacks by the septum
What is the scrotum
This outpouching of the abdominal wall is located outside the body because the sperm hormone production and survival require temperature that is 3° lower than normal body temperature
What is the scrotum?
These primary organs of the male reproductive system are paired gonads. They are in the scrotum or scrotum sack.
What are the testes?
The function of these primary organs of the male reproductive system is to produce sperm and testosterone
What are the testes?
This primary organ of the male reproductive system develops near the kidneys in the posterior portion of the abdomen, and begins their descent into the scrotum through the inguinal canal during the latter, half of the seventh month of fetal development…
What are testes?
Each testicle is covered by tough fibrous layers of tissue known as this
What is the tunica?
This tunica (covering the male testes), is the outer layer, and survived from the peritoneum as they descend from the abdomen
What is the tunica vaginalis?
This tunica is the inner layer which is dense, white nonelastic tissue that extends in and forms the septa.
What is the tunica albuginea
This part of the male testes divides the testes into lobules.
What is the septa?
Each lobule of the testes contain these tubules, which actually hold 200 to 300 lobules of the testes
What are seminiferous tubules?
The series of tightly coiled tubules produce sperm.
What are seminiferous tubule?
These ducts are known to store and transfer sperm
What are the spermatic ducts.
This comma shaped organ measures about 1.5 inches long and lies along the posterior border of the testes. It is slightly coiled, and if it was straightened it would measure about 20 feet long.
What is the epididymis?
This comma shaped organ provides for storage transit, and maturation of sperm, which may remain in this Organ for a month or more, and it also connects the testes with the vascular deferens
What is the epididymis?
This organ ascends along the posterior border of the epidermis, and passes through the vocal and enters the pelvic cavity. His function is to transport sperm and can also store sperm for several months
What is the vas deferens a.k.a. ductus deferens
These male reproductive ducts are about one inch in length, and is formed by the union of the seminal vesicle and the ductus deferens
What are the ejaculatory ducts ?
