reproductive system male Flashcards
(23 cards)
Sex cells
Spermatozoa/ Ova
Spermatozoa
Male gamete
Ova
female gamete
Zygote
result of fertilization between ova and spermatozoa
Fertilization
Fusion of male and female gamete
Testicles
Where Semineferous tubules are located
Semineferous tubules
where spermatogenesis occurs and testosterone is produced between tubules
Scrotum
Sac containing testicles
Spermatogenesis
Meiosis in Male reproductive system
Spermatocyte
What spermatogonium mature into
Spermatids
What spermatocyte mature to
Sertoli cells
Somatic cells found in wals of semeniferous tubules
regualtes spermatogenesis
Leydig cells
cells found in between semiferous tubules
produce testosterone
Anterior Pituitary
looks like scrotum
Hangs from hypothalamus of brain
Epedidymis
Where Spermatid migrate to and matures into spermatozoa
vas deference
Long muscular tube that contracts and propels sperm forward during ejaculation
Urethra
Muscular tube connecting Urethra to tip of penis
Semen
Seminal vesicles secretions + sperm = Semen
Seminal vesicles
Secretes seminal fluid
Prostate gland
Secretes flid and or substance to aide fertilization
Cowpers
Produce pre-ejaculated fluid
Penis
responsible for migrating sperm to female reproductive system
Ejacualtion pathway
- Spermatozoa from epididymis-
forced in vas deference -
then peristalsis to ejaculatory duct -
Then mix with seminal and prostate secretions -
semen-
Peristaltic contractions push semen along urethra- penis- outside
