During the erection process these muscles will contract and they will pull and have pressure and the cruar will have pressure against the pelvis. We do have a blood supply that feeds the penile shaft and when the male is sexually aroused. When blood flows into the penile shaft the corpus cavernosus tissue is actually where the veinous return of the blood supply is and as the .................................muscle contracts back against the pelvic bone it restricts the veinous return. So we have a blood flow in and a restriction of a blood flow out. This allows the penile shaft to become engorged with blood and extent and you have the relaxation of the retrectile penis muscle.

Ischiocavernosus Muscle

The _______________are immotile, long protrusions of the cells in the proximal caput epididymis which absorb fluid to concentrate the sperm as it moves into the distal caput epididymis. Group of answer choices Sterocilia Trabeculae Tunica Vasculosa Fimbria

Sterocilia

What is the function of the corpus?

The body of the epididymis lies parallel to the ductus deferens. Concentrations of sperm throughout the body of the epididymis remain relatively constant

What happens to sperm in the caput?

The head of the epididymis is subdivided into the proximal head (PH) and the distal head (DH). The proximal head reabsorbs a significant amount of rete fluid while the distal head secretes fluid into the lumen of the epididymal duct. Thus, the concentration of sperm within the head of the epididymis increases then decreases significantly.

What is the function of the cauda?

The tail of the epididymis consists of the proximal tail and the distal tail. Sperm within the distal tail are eligible for ejaculation. Sperm in the proximal tail cannot be moved into an ejaculatory position following sexual stimulation. However, the sperm in the distal tail move through the ductus deferens and into the pelvic urethra during sexual stimulation -Sperm can be stored for several weeks --stored without loss of function --arrests sperm metabolism so that the sperm don't burnout --allows for repetitive ejaculations of a short period --sperm are indefinitely viable as prolonged sexual rest results int he first couple of collections showing poor sperm quality

What is the function of the tubuli seminiferi recti?

The tubuli seminiferi recti (also known as the tubuli recti, tubulus rectus, or straight seminiferous tubules) are structures in the testicle connecting the convoluted region of the seminiferous tubules to the rete testi

What is the function of the urethralis muscle?

The urethralis muscle surrounds the pelvic portion of the urethra and the bulbourethral glands, and by its contractions, forces release of seminal fluid during ejaculation as well as emptying of the last vestiges of urine during urination.

What are the Cowper's (Bulbourethral) glands a part of?

will come up and attach to the vertebrae of the backbone and are known as the fight or flight muscle. They will either move the testes closer to or farther away from the body. They are a striated muscle meaning that they cannot sustain contraction for any length of time, but they do help with thermal regulation in the testes.
