Quiz 2 (Exam 1) Flashcards
Pampiniform plexus definition:
vascular structure consisting of intimately intertwined arteries and veins.
Spermatic artery:
leaves the body and enters the spermatic cord as an uncoiled vessel and as it nears the testis it becomes highly coiled and intertwined with a network of veins.
When the temperature of the testis are too high:
speratogenesis ceases, however androgen production still occurs.
Pronephros:
a nonfunctional remnant of a primitive kidney which regresses and is replaced by a functional bilateral pair of intermediate kidneys known as the mesonephros.
Mesonephros function:
produces urine.
Mesonephros drain urine by:
mesonephric tubules of Woffian ducts. (bilateral pair)
Developing a new pair or ducts by the mesonnephros called:
Mullerian ducts
nephros means:
Kidneys
When is sexual differentiation determined:
When testis determining factor(TDF) is synthesized by the sex cords, this is when the male repro system is stimulated.
What five things are needed to make male genitilia
Testie, testostorone, y chromosome, sertoli cells, and anti-Mullerian duct hormone.
Mesonephric ducts in the male give rise to the:
Rete testis, efferent ducts, epididymis, and vas deferens.
Testis secrete this homorne so female genitals do the develop:
Anti-Mullerian duct hormone(AMH)
Spermatozoa are made in(1st):
seminiferous tubules
From the seminiferous tubules, spermatozoa empty to(2nd):
rete testies
Rete testis joins the(3rd):
efferent duct
Efferent duct empties into the(4th):
head of the epididymis
Spermatozoa travel from the head of the epidiymis to(5th):
to the body of the epididymis
From the body of the epididymis to the(6th):
tail of the epididymis
From the tail of the epididymis spermatozoa travels to(7th):
ductus deferns
