Question
Answer
show associated with each testis is the -----, a series of small bands of skeletal muscle that descends as an extension of the internal oblique to surround the testes  
🗑
show each of the 200-300 lobules in each testis contains 1 to 3 tightly coiled ----- that produce sperm  
🗑
Leydig cells   show
🗑
spermatogonia   show
🗑
two major types of cell in the seminiferous tubules   show
🗑
Sertoli cells   show
🗑
how long does spermatogenesis take?   show
🗑
major events in spermatogenesis   show
🗑
acrosome   show
🗑
show F/contains a nucleus with 23 highly condensed chromosomes  
🗑
the middle piece of the sperm   show
🗑
show hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing h (GnRH) | anterior pit secretes luteinizing h (LH) and follicle-stimulating h (FSH) | LH stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone | FSH (w/test.) stimulates Sertoli cells to stimulate secretion of ABP  
🗑
androgen-binding protein (ABP)   show
🗑
negative feedback + spermatogenesis   show
🗑
show wide shoulders, narrow hips, facial and chest hair, thickening of the skin, enlargement of the larynx  
🗑
sperm maturation   show
🗑
show a comma-shaped organ that lies along the posterior border of each testis | mostly contains ductus epididymis | sperm may remain viable here for several months  
🗑
ductus deferens   show
🗑
show a supporting structure of the male reproductive system that ascends out of the scrotum | consists of the ductus deferens, the testicular artery, veins that drain the testes, autonomic nerves, lymphatic vessels, and the cremaster  
🗑
show each ---- is about 2 cm long and is formed by the union of the duct from the seminal vesicle and the ampulla of the ductus deferens  
🗑
show passes through the prostate | three sections: prostatic, membranous, spongy (penile)  
🗑
sequence of structures that sperm pass through   show
🗑
show L/posterior to the base of the urinary bladder and anterior to the rectum | F/secrete alkaline fluid (60% of semen volume) that protects sperm from acidic vagina | fluid also contains fructose for ATP production, prostaglandins, clotting proteins  
🗑
show a single, donut-shaped gland inferior to the urinary bladder | secretes milky, slightly acidic fluid (25% of semen volume) that contains citric acid for ATP production, proteolytic enzymes, and seminalplasmin (an antibiotic)  
🗑
show aka Cowper's glands | L/inferior to the prostate on either side of the membranous urethra | F/secrete alkaline fluid into urethra that protect sperm from acidic urine  
🗑
avg number of sperm in a milliliter of semen   show
🗑
F/semen   show
🗑
physiology of erection   show
🗑
show a sympathetic reflex coordinated by the lumbar portion of the spinal cord  
🗑
F/ovaries   show
🗑
show encloses ovaries and attaches them to the pelvic wall, where the ----- continues as the parietal peritoneum  
🗑
show anchors ovaries to the uterus  
🗑
show attaches ovaries laterally to the pelvic wall  
🗑
show during fetal development, millions of diploid stem cells known as ----- differentiate within the ovaries  
🗑
primary oocytes   show
🗑
primordial follicle   show
🗑
show at birth, 200,000 to 2 million remain in each ovary | at puberty, approx 40,000 remain | around 400 will mature and ovulate during a woman's reproductive lifetime  
🗑
show each month after puberty, FSH and LH stimulate a few primordial follicles to grow into ----, which have multiple layers of follicular cells  
🗑
show the clear glycoprotein layer between primary oocyte and granulosa cells  
🗑
corona radiata   show
🗑
show middle phase of follicle maturation, during which the corona radiata and the antrum appear  
🗑
show the final stage of follicle development, during which the primary oocyte completes meiosis I, forming a secondary oocyte and a first polar body  
🗑
ovulation   show
🗑
fertilization   show
🗑
