- Identify the organ responsible for the following functions. 1.) Where sperms are produced. 2.) Where sperms are temporarily stored. 3.) Supports the testis and epididymis 4.) Where the sperm passes through from the testis before it joins the urethra. 5.) Passageway of both sperm and urine. 6.) Secretes fluid that forms part of the semen; gives the semen its alkaline characteristics to counteract the acidity og the vaginal tract; Contains sugars like fructose 7.) Secretes fluid that also provides alkalinity to the semen; Contains proteilytic enzymes, citric acid, phosphates, and lipids. 8.) Paired goands that produce clear, viscous secretion (pre-ejaculate) that helps to lunricate the urethra for sperm to pass through, neutralizing traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter.arrow_forwardWhy does male anatomy make it likely that a reproductivesystem infection may extend into the urinary system?arrow_forwardWhy is the term urogenital system more applicable to males than to females?arrow_forward
- Sildenafil citrate (marketed under the name ‘Viagra’) causes increased blood flow into the penis, thus allowing for erection to occur. Explain the mechanism by which this drug accomplishes this? What hormone is primarily responsible for the Graafian follicle rupturing to release the oocyte at ovulation?arrow_forwardParasympathetic neurons in the male reproductive system secrete the following substance: nitric olde testosterone adenosine aldosteronearrow_forwardSexual arousal results in a generally positive sympathetic response, e.g. increased heart rate, increased breathing rate and depth, etc. How is it, then, that erection can occur if sympathetic activity causes vasoconstriction and prevents blood flow into the vascular spaces of the penis?arrow_forward
- A normal discharge from the glans penis is called penorrhea. True False.arrow_forwardIdentify the vessel located between the renal pyramids A) peritubular capillary B) interlobar artery D) segmental artery E) cortical radiate artery F) renal arteryarrow_forwardGross Anatomy of the Human Male and Female Reproductive System a) What structures compose the spermatic cord and Where is it located? b) Using the following terms, trace the pathway of sperm from the testes to the urethra: rete testis, epididymis, seminiferous tubule, ductus deferens. c) Name the structures composing the external genitalia, or vulva, of the female.arrow_forward
- Describe the structure of the male urethra. Explain how an enlarged prostate affects urination.arrow_forwardThe order of ducts in the male genital system: Select one: O a. Tubuli recti- Rete testis- Vasa efferentia- Ejacutatory duct b. Tubuli recti- Rete testis- Vasa efferentia- epididymis c. Rete testis- Tubuli recti- Vasa efferentia- epididymis d. Vasa efferentia- Ejacutatory duct- Epididymis O The connective tissue layer of a mucous membrane is named:arrow_forwardList the common infertility problems in women.
