Reproductive Systems And Eye Flashcards
Seminal Vesicle secretions contain: (3)
Fructose, Prostaglandins, and Fibrinogen
Leydig Cells are associated with which hormone
Lutenizing Hormone
Sertoli Cells are associated with which hormone?
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
T/F
Fructose sugar, an energy source for the sperm is produced by the bulbourethral glands.
False
Fructose is produced by the seminal vesicle
T/F
Spermatozoa gave the ability to follow chemotaxis factors in the Epididymis.
True
T/F
Sertoli cells can phagocytose dead/imperfect/unsuccessful spermatogenic cells.
True
T/F
Sperm are stored in the vas deferens until ejaculated.
False
T/F
During spermiogenesis, the spermatid condenses but retains a lot of its lysosomes.
False
T/F
Testicular function is under the regulation of hypothalamo-hypophyseal-gonadal axis.
True
T/F
Under the effect of FSH, the Sertoli cells produce androgen/testosterone binding protein.
True
T/F
Fibrinogen in the semen causes it to turn viscous, thus protecting the spermatozoa.
True
T/F
Smooth muscle surrounding the seminiferous tubule assist in transporting the semen to the rete testis.
False
T/F
Testosterone is produced by the Sertoli cells on the interstitium
False
Sertoli cells produce Inhibin
Leydig cells produce testosterone
T/F
Within the male reproductive tract, stereocilia project from cells lining the seminiferous tubule.
False
T/F
Corpus spongiosum surround the penile urethra.
True
T/F
Like testosterone, inhibin can also up regulate spermatogenesis.
False
T/F
Most of the semen volume is secreted by the seminal vesicles.
True
T/F
Spermatogenic epithelium is the site for spermatogenesis.
True
T/F
Efferent ductules carry fully matured sperms that are then passed on the reti testis.
False; epididymus
T/F
Pale ape A spermatogonia are reserved cells that are only needed when dark type B cells are depleted.
False
T/F
Concretions are found in the prostate gland and increase with age.
True
Which of the following accurately describes spermatogenesis?
A. Results in the formation of primary spermatocytes
B. Occurs before puberty
C. Occurs in diploid cells
D. Involves differentiation of early spermatid cell structure.
D. Involves differentiation of early spermatid cell structure.
Hyposecretion of FSH in males is most likely to cause which condition?
A. Low serum testosterone levels
B. High levels of inhibin
C. Low sperm count
D. No symptoms, since there are no ovarian follicles.
C. Low sperm count
Which organ is normally characterized by the accumulation of concretions with increasing age?
Prostate
