Male and Female Assignment

Rete testis

Duct network between seminiferous tubules and efferent ductules

female reproductive system

organs that produce and transport egg cells and secrete female hormones

Match the type of sex development with its description.

Appearance of genitalia: Phenotypic sex Sex based on chromosomes: Genotypic sex

Ejaculatory Duct

Conducts fluid from ductus deferens to prostatic urethra

False: The ideal temperature of the testes, inside the scrotum, is the same as internal body temperature.

Explanation: The ideal temperature for producing and storing sperm is lower than internal body temperature.

The greater vestibular glands are similar to the bulbourethral glands of the male and disposition fluids onto the vestibule and the labia minors.

Greater Vestibular glands/ bulbourethral glands

In females, the ovaries are paired, oval organs located within the pelvic cavity lateral to the UTERUS.

In females, the ovaries are paired, oval organs, slightly larger than an almond, located within the pelvic cavity lateral to the uterus.

False: Males and females experience a marked decrease in gamete production after around the age 60.

In general, males do not stop producing gametes, but the typical enlargement of the prostate can interfere with sexual functions.

ductus (vas) deferens

Muscular duct between epididymis and ejaculatory duct

True: Ovaries and testes produce gametes.

Ovaries and testes produce gametes: oocytes in females, and sperm in males.

What are the gross anatomical characteristics of the vagina?

Referred to as the birth canal Copulatory organ of the female Thick-walled, fibromuscular tube about 10 centimeters long **The gross anatomical characteristics of the vagina include: a thick walled, fibromuscular tube about 10 centimeters long, the copulatory organ of the female, serves as passageway for menstruation, connects the uterus with the outside of the body, and is referred to anatomically as the birth canal.

resolution phase

Resolution phase of the male sexual response is followed by a refractory period, during which the man cannot attain another erection. The refractory period may last for several minutes or for hours. This refractory period becomes longer as men age. Women, by contrast, have no refractory and thus have the potential to experience multiple orgasms in a single sexual experience.

Epididymis

Stores sperm until mature

male reproductive system

The primary male reproductive organs are the testes

Select all that are erectile bodies of Penis: Corpora cavernosa; Corpus Spongiosum

The tunica albuginea, is a thin layer of dense connective tissue that is ensheathe's the erectile bodies; the tunica albuginea also provides an attachment skin over the shaft of penis.

Unlike male secretions that must transport and deliver sperm, secretions of the female reproductive system mostly serve to ____________ the reproductive organs involved with intercourse.

lubricate

The mucosae located on the wall of the ____________ produce the majority of female reproductive fluids.
