- Gross 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_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_forwardThe increased membrane fluidity has been attributed to the efflux (removal) of a single membrane lipid component. Removal of which component from the sperm’s membrane could increase fluidity without significantly altering the size and/or shape of the sperm cell?arrow_forward
- TRUE OR FALSE Sympathetic stimulation of the arteries within the penis causes engorgement of the erectile tissue as arterial flow increases and venous drainage decreases. Mammary glands are modified sudoriferous glands. Prolactin causes the breasts to enlarge and the mammary glands to mature during puberty. Secretions from the vestibular glands moisten and lubricate the vaginal orifice during sexual arousal. 20. The secretory phase of menstruation is from the time of ovulation until the start of the menstrual phase.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are NOT supporting structures of the male reptoductive system? Scrotum Crura of the penis Corpus spongiosum Spermatic cord None of the choicesarrow_forwardDuring an erection, the corpus spongiosum never becomes as engorged with blood (never gets as hard) as the corpora cavernosa. Why must this be the case? Where does fertilization take place (if it takes place)?arrow_forward
- Identify the sequence of structures (four) through which sperm pass from the site of production to the vagina.arrow_forwardDescribe the way in which the female hormones GnRH, FSH, LH, and oestrogen interact during the menstrual cycle to induce the ovulation and formation of the corpus luteum.arrow_forwardUnderstanding the causes of infertility can be valuablein developing new birth control methods. Cite a type ofcontraceptive based on each of the following causes of infertility:(a) failure to ovulate due to a hormonal imbalance;(b) a large fibroid tumor that disturbs the uterine lining;(c) endometrial tissue blocking uterine tubes;(d) low sperm count (too few sperm per ejaculate).arrow_forward
- Gross Anatomy of the Human Male and Female Reproductive System a) What is the function of the stereocilia exhibited by the epithelial cells of the mucosa of the epididymis? b) Hysterectomy is a surgical removal of the uterus. It may or may not be accompanied by a salpingo-oophorectomy, removal of the uterine tubes and ovaries. Why would it be an advantage to leave the ovaries intact? c) What is the function of the cavernous bodies in the penis?arrow_forwardSildenafil 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_forwardWhy testes of human males are considered extra abdominal? What is the significance of this condition?arrow_forward
