This structure is the site of sperm production | Seminiferous tubules |
How many seminiferous tubules are found in each lubule? | 1-3 |
These cells may eventually become spermatozoa | Spermatogonia |
These cells secrete testosterone | Leydig Cells |
This hormone stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone | Luteinzing Hormone (LH) |
The straight tubules in the testis lead into the... | Rete Testis |
The fx of the epididymis is... | Sperm Maturation |
What is formed by the union of the duct from the seminal vesicle & the ampulla of the vas deferens? | Ejaculatory Duct |
This lies posterior to the ladder & anterior to the rectum. It secretes an alkaline, fructose filled liquid. | Seminal Vesicles |

What is produced by the ovaries? | Secondary oocytes, estrogen, & progesterone |
This attaches the ovaries & the uterus to the pelvic wall. | Suspensory Ligament |

Menarche is the... | First Menses |
Male reproductive system arises from | wolffian ducts |
Female reproductive system arises from | Mullerian ducts |
During fetal development these cells give rise to primary oocytes | Oogonia |
The major hormone secreted from granulosa cells is | Estrogen |
A zygote is a... | Diploid fertilized ovum |
Which hormone inhibits the release of FSH from the pituitary gland? | Inhibin |
In male embryos, this hormone is responsible for the development of the urethra, prostate, & external genitals. | Dihydrotestosterone |
The primary action of combined oral contraceptives is to (4) | Suppress FSH & LH; block implantation in the uterus; inhibit ovulation; inhibit entry of sperm into the uterus |
How does the reproductive system affect the skeletal system? | Estrogen causes epiphyseal plates of both to close, ending growth of height |
