anatomy and physiology

testicles produce gametes from meiosis

gonads accessory sex glands, and ducts are part of what?

a pair of sturctures which will produce male gametes(sperm)
formed within the abdomen and will descend through the inguinal canal into the scrotum

to lower the temperature of the structures

a layer of smooth muscle (wrinkles the scrotal skin)

separtes into two testes

outer portion composed of serous membrane

inner most portion, composed of white fibrous tissue

forms most of the testes the cells that line these tubules with produce the sperm

earliest phase

produced from meiosis one

produced from meiosis two

al most mature gamete

mature gametes

complete with flagellum, midpiece full of mitochondria, and a head containing dna and acrosome containing enzymes

lies between the tubules also called leydig cells

recieve the sperm from seminiferous tubules and form rete testis

lead from rete testis to the epididymis

vessles carry nutrients to the testicles

absorbs the heat before it reaches the testes

together with the cremaster muscle, nerves, and blood vessels, it will form the spermatic cord

a pair of ducts they are extensions of the vasa deferentia, recieves sperm and scretion from the semina vesicle

single tube that extends from the urinary bladder through the penis to the external enviornment

prostate _______, membranous _______ and sponty (cavernous) _______ are parts of what?

will produce an alkaline fluid to protect nourish and transport the sperm

pair of glands

atp production

the vagina is acidic if the sperm werent _____ they would die

motility and viability

to coagulate semen

it will secrete a material before the other glands, they secrete alkaline substance and mucus

single gland urethra passes through it, secretes citric acid, clotting enzymes, and fibrinolysin

citric acid makes

fibrinolysin

sperm and the secretion of the accessory glands

composes the external genitalia

composed of erectile tissue which is formed from spony connective tissue and smooth muscle, vascular spaces between these tissues will fill with blood

surrounds urethra, and forms head of penis and bulbourethral

forms the crura (on the dorsal side), the spongy tissue will contain sinuses which will fill with blood during excitement

attaches to the abdominal area

made of corpus sponginosum

made of corpus cavernosa

enlarged tip of the penis or the end of it

covering the glans penis is the _____(foreskin)
