Cards (23)

  • Spermatogenesis is the process by which human sperm cells are produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
  • Scrotum It consist of skin, Beneath a skin are loose connective tissues and a layer of smooth muscle called Dartos
  • Testes are oval organs whitin a scrotum 4-5 cm long; which sperm cell developed
  • Testes produced androgens example is Testosterone
  • Testes Leydig Cells ( interstitial cells)
  • Epididymis is a coiled tube that lies on top of the testes
  • Vas deference emerges from the epididymis and ascends along the posterior side of testes
  • Seminal vesicle a pair of glands that secrete a liquid of component of semen into vas deference
  • Secretion is alkaline contains fructose, ascorbic Acid, coangulating enzyme, and prostaglandin
  • Bulbo-urethral gland is also known as Cowper's gland
  • Prostate Gland is located below bladder and surrounds urethra
  • Bulbourethral gland acts to wash residual urine out of the urethra when ejaculating semen
  • Ejaculation is the process by which semen is expelled through penis during sexual intercourse or masturbation
  • Semen is made up of spermatozoa and secretions from accessory sex organs
  • Testes are oval shaped structures found within scrotum
  • The male reproductive system consists of external genitalia (penis) and internal genitalia (testes)
  • The male genitalia include the penis, scrotum, testes, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, and seminal vesicles.
  • The male genitalia are involved in reproduction and excretion.
  • Urethra is a tube that transports both urine and semen
  • penis function is to transfer sperm cell to Vagina
  • Penis external sructures Glans Penis, Prepuce(foreskin)
  • Male Ejaculatesabout 2-5 ml of semen; each millimeter containing about 50-130 million sperms
  • Sertoli nurse help to promote spermatogenesis
