Q

Where is spermatogenesis occurring

A

Between two Sertoli cells (nurse cells)

21
Q

What does spermatogonia 2n go through and become

A

Mitosis and become primary spermatocytes

22
Q

What do primary spermatocyte 2n as go through and become

A

Meiosis I and become secondary spermatocytes

23
Q

What do secondary spermatocytes 1n go through and become…

A

Meiosis II becoming spermatids 1n

24
Q

What do spermatids 1n go through and become

A

Maturation and development and become spermatozoa 1n

25
Q

What is spermiogenesis

A

The maturation and development of a spermarid

26
Q

What do nurse cells do?

A

Maintain blood testis barrier and support mitosis meiosis

27
Q

What does the head middle piece and tail contain and or function of the sperm

A

Head contains acrosomes to fight through vagina
The middle piece contains mitochondria to produce ATP
The ATP powers the tail that is only flagellum to move the sperm

28
Q

Where is the site of sperm maturation

A

Epididymis

29
Q

What kind of epithelium is the epididymis

A

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar

Q

How much spermatozoa per mL of semen

A

50-130 million

32
Q

What is the contents of seminal fluid (semen)

A

60% seminal glands
30% prostate glands
5% nurse cells and epididymis
<5% bulbourethral glands

33
Q

What is a function of the epididymis

A

Recycles damaged spermatozoa

34
Q

How does the epididymis monitor and adjust fluid composition

A

Stereocilia

35
Q

What are the walls of the uterus and what does it contain

A

90% Myometrium, the muscular tissue
10% endometrium, the glandular tissue, blood vessels
Perimetrium the serosa

A
  1. Primordial
  2. Primary
  3. Secondary
  4. Graafian
  5. Ovulation
