Q

The fluid in the urethra conveys to the outside during ejaculation is called

A

semen

25
Q

components of semen

A

○ Sperm cells
○ Secretions of the seminal vesicles,
prostate gland, and
bulbourethral glands.

26
Q

properties of semen

A

○ It is slightly alkaline
○ Contains prostaglandins
○ Contains nutrients

27
Q

protects the testes; Regulates the temperature required of testes. It is usually 4-8 degree celsius lower than the body tissues. When hot, it is loose and when it is cold, it is tight.

A

Scrotum

28
Q

elastic tissue and muscle fibers within the scrotum that contracts and relax to aid in the temperature control of the testicles.

A

Tunica dartos

29
Q

a paired structure made of thin layers of striated and smooth muscle.

A

Cremaster muscle

30
Q

network of blood vessels. Serves or assists in providing cooler blood to the testicles.

A

Pampiniform plexus

31
Q

it is responsible for procreation, conveys urine and semen, and specialized to become erect for insertion into the vagina.

A

Penis

32
Q

Body (shaft) contains 3 columns of erectile
tissue

A

■ 2 are corpora carvernosa
■ 1 is a corpus spongiosum

33
Q

is distal enlargement of corpus spongiosum.

A

Glans penis

34
Q

is the covering of the glans penis.

A

Prepuce (foreskin)

35
Q

Culmination of sexual stimulation. Accompanied by emission and ejaculation.

A

Orgasm

36
Q

is the movement of the semen into the urethra.

A

Emission

37
Q

is the movement of the semen out of the urethra. It is sympathetic.

A

Ejaculation

38
Q

Spontaneous emissions and ejaculations commonly occur in adolescent males during sleep. AKA as wet dreams.

A

Nocturnal Emissions

39
Q

The function of the Female Reproductive Organ is to produce ______

A

oocytes or egg cells

40
Q

Primary female sex organs (gonads) are ________

A

ovaries

41
Q

are solid oval structures which lie on each side in the lateral wall of the pelvic cavity.

A

Ovaries

42
Q

the largest attachment which attaches the ovaries to the uterine tubes and uterus.

A

Broad ligament

43
Q

holds the ovary at the upper end.

A

Suspensory ligament of ovary

44
Q

a round cord like thickening of the broad ligament.

A

Ovarian ligament

45
Q

conveys the secondary oocytes towards the uterus which is the site of fertilization and conveys the developing embryo to the uterus.

A

Uterine tube

46
Q

protects and sustains the embryo during pregnancy.

A

Uterus

47
Q

conveys the uterine secretions to outside of the body. It is also the one responsible for receiving the erect penis during sexual intercourse and provides open channels from offspring during the birth process.

A

Vagina

48
Q

thin membrane of connective tissue that covers the vaginal orifices.

A

hymen

49
Q

The female external reproductive organs surround the openings of the urethra and vagina and is known as the ________

vulva includes:

A

Labia majora
Labia minora
Clitoris
Vestibule

51
Q

part of vulva that is rounded folds of adipose tissue and skin

A

Labia majora

52
Q

most prominent area of the female external reproductive organ.

A

Mons pubis

53
Q

part of vulva that is flattened, longitudinal folds between the labia majora. Well supplied by blood vessels. They form a hood-like covering around the clitoris.

A

Labia minora

54
Q

small projection at the anterior end of the vulva.

A

Clitoris

55
Q

space between the labia minora that encloses the vaginal and the urethral openings.

A

Vestibule

56
Q

2 parts of vestibule

A

Q

the ones responsible for secreting mucus into the vestibule during sexual stimulation.

A

Vestibular glands

58
Q

the ones responsible for producing vascular erectile tissue between the mucosa at the vestibule on either side.

A

Vestibular bulb
