a glycoprotein layer that a sperm must ultimately penetrate to fertilize the oocyte

Sperm become motile in the

epididymis

Erection is caused by

erectile bodies filling with blood

Corpus Luteum

granulosa and theca cells that remain after ovulation; secretes estrogens and progesterone

Which of the following organs does not contribute secretion(s) during the male sexual response?

Corpus Cavernosum

The__________ muscles are responsible for elevating the testes.

Cremaster

Production and secretion of testosterone by interstitial cells is hormonally regulated by __________

Lutenizing Hormone (LH) stimulates the production

Which testicular cells help deliver sperm to the epididymis by contracting rhythmically?

The wall of the uterus is composed of three basic layers: an outer perimetrium, a middle__________ , and an inner endometrium.

Myometrium

For each oogonium that undergoes meiosis, how many eggs result?

One

The process in which mature spermatids differentiate into sperm is called__________ .

SpermIOgenesis (final stage of development)

The secretion of the seminal vesicles makes up about __________% of the volume of semen, and the secretion contains __________

60 / fructose, prostaglandins, substances that enhance sperm motility

Graafian Follicle

contains a secondary oocyte surrounded by zona pellucida and corona radiata

The ovarian cortex consists of

follicles and connective tissue

Involuntary contraction of this smooth muscle layer wrinkles and thickens the walls of the scrotum to prevent heat loss.

Dartos muscle

In which part of breast tissue does breast cancer typically arise?

Duct System

Tubular organ that is transected during a vasectomy.

Ductus Deferens (vas deferens)

Which hormone stimulates the development of the endometrium during the proliferative phase of the uterine?

Estrogens secreted by the follicle stimulate development of the functional layer of the endometrium.

The ejaculatory ducts are formed by the union of the ductus deferens and urethra.

FALSE

The spermatic cord is another name for the ductus deferens.

FALSE

Seminiferous tubules are the site of sperm storage.

FALSE, the answer is Epididymis

Which hormone stimulates the growth and development of the ovarian follicle?

FSH

The opening of the oviduct is surrounded by these structures.

Fimbriae

Four

The function of the pampiniform plexus of veins is to

Helps regulate temperature

Oogenesis takes years to complete.

from birth to puberty

Name of the organ that directs sperm toward the seminal vesicles during ejaculation.

Vas Deferens

In an adult woman who has never been pregnant, the breasts have poorly developed or no

lobules of acini/alveoli.

The largest macroscopic region of the uterus is its

Body

The__________ is homologous to the penis, having both a glans and a body.

Clitoris

The female homologue of the male scrotum is the

Labia Majora

The seminal vesicles

are glands that secrete most of the volume of the semen.

Thecal Folliculi

connective tissue layer that condenses around a primary follicle; outer layer cells resemble smooth muscle cells and inner layer secretes hormones

Secondary Follicle

first follicle to have a well-defined antrum; comprised of stratified epithelium

A factor that propels an oocyte through the uterine tube is

smooth muscle contraction (peristalsis)

The vaginal fornix

surrounds the tip of the cervix.

Which of the following is the primary sex organ in the male?

testis

A difference between a primary follicle and a primordial follicle is that

the primordial follicle has only a single layer of flat follicular cells, whereas the primary follicle is comprised of cuboidal follicle cells.

23

Where is matured sperm stored?

In the epididymis of the testis

where ectopic pregnancies commonly occur.

In the fallopian tubes

Type of cell in the testes that produces testosterone.

Interstitial (Leydig) cells

What cells are located in the seminiferous tubules?

The stem cells, spermatogonia, are located in the basal compartment. Some cells move toward the adluminal compartment to begin meiosis I and become primary spermatocytes.
