1. Describe the path of the sperm to the outside. Sperm cells get to the exterior of the body via a network of ducts. Sperm exits the testes and travels through the epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, and urethra. 2016 (p.474). Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology. Retrieved from https://platform.virdocs.com/read/732417/502/#/4/2 2. Describe the development of a follicle, before and after ovulation. A mature follicle is distinguished by the formation of a liquid-filled chamber known as the Antrum. The follicle enters Meiosis II just before ovulation and stops at Metaphase II. If the egg is fertilized, the procedure is complete. Following ovulation, granulosa cells collaborate with Theca-lutein cells to form the Corpus Luteum, which is principally responsible for Progesterone production. 2016 (p.464).

It is a complicated cycle governed by female hormones that results in recurrent bleeding. Menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase are the four stages of the menstrual cycle. Some women may have menstruation issues. 2016 (p.466). Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology. Retrieved from https://platform.virdocs.com/read/732417/502/#/4/2 4. Explain the role the sperm has in determining the sex of an embryo. Every egg has an X chromosome, whereas sperm might contain either an X or a Y chromosome. If the sperm that fertilizes an egg contains an X chromosome, the child is female; if it has a Y chromosome, the child is male. 2016 (p.450). Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology. Retrieved from https://platform.virdocs.com/read/732417/502/#/4/2 5. What is the importance of the prostate gland? The most significant function of the prostate is the generation of a fluid that, together with sperm cells from the testicles and fluids from other glands, forms semen. The prostate muscles help guarantee that the sperm is pushed into the urethra and subsequently ejected outwardly during ejaculation. 2016 (p. 452). Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology. Retrieved from https://platform.virdocs.com/read/732417/502/#/4/2 6. Describe the changes that happen to the reproductive system as we age, in both men
and women. Middle age causes changes in the reproductive system in both men and women, eventually leading to infertility - albeit males remain fertile for longer. These variations are caused in part by substantial swings in the synthesis of sex hormones including oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. 2016 (p.445). Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology.
