- forms the sperm cells
- the testes is enclosed in
- to where is the testes attached
- the tail of the epididymis is continuous to
- part that maintains temperature of testes
- connects rete testis to head of epididymis
- in the seminiferous tubules, the spermatogonia are attached to
- germ cell/spermatogonium is
- interstitial cells located adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in testes
- function of leydig cells
- mediates production of testosterone by leydig cells
- any group of hormones that primarily influence the growth and development of the male reproductive system
- separates basal region from adluminal region
- which region are primary spermatocytes located
- which region are secondary spermatocytes located
- important in maintaining secondary male characteristics throughout life
- where does sperm cell mature and become motile
- scrotum and penis occupy the
- diamond-shaped area between the thighs
- pouch of skin, muscle, and fibrous connective tissue containing the testis
- which descends lower: left or right testicle
- divides the scrotum into left and right compartments
- head of sperm
- acrosome has a lytic enzyme that digests _ & _ of ovum
- shape of immature spermatid
- 3 mechanisms of spermatic cord to regulate temperature of testes
- trips of the internal abdominal oblique muscle that enmesh the spermatic cord
- in cold temperature, cremaster will
- in warm temperature, cremaster will
- subcutaneous layer of smooth muscle that reduces surface area of scrotum to reduce heat loss
- extensive network of veins from the testes that surround testicular artery and spermatic cord
- without pampiniform plexus, warm arterial blood would heat testis and inhibit sperm production
- when the blood reaches the testis, it is _ cooler
- which border of testis gives attachment to spermatic cord
- ducts where sperm are produced
- how many seminiferous tubules in each lobule
