Question
Answer
Seminiferous tubules   Actual "sperm factories" - 250 - 300 lobules in each testis.  
🗑
Smooth muscle-like cells that squeeze sperm & testicular fluid out through tubules.   myloid cells  
🗑
What do the interstitial cells (Leydig) produce?   androgens (testosterone)  
🗑
The __ absorbs heat from arterial blood, cooling it before it enters testes.   Pampiniform plexus - network of veins that surround testicular artery within scrotum.  
🗑
CT sheath that encloses blood vessels & lymphatic, & nerves for testis.   spermatic cord  
🗑
orchiectomy   testis removal  
🗑
The penis & scrotum are suspended from?   the perineum  
🗑
tip of penis   glans penis  
🗑
prepuce   foreskin of penis  
🗑
Accessory ducts of testes proximal to distal.   Epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory, & urethra  
🗑
Sperm are ejaculated from the __ not testes.   epididymis  
🗑
What contributes the bulk of semen   Seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, & prostate  
🗑
What is stored in seminal vesicles?   Yellowish viscous alkaline fluid & fructose that enhance sperm motility or fertilizing power - 60% volume of semeninal fluid for sperm.  
🗑
What role does prostate secretions play?   Activates sperm - acidic - enzymes  
🗑
Prostatitis   Inflammation of prostate  
🗑
Role of bulbourethral glands   Produce thick mucus - neutralizes acidic urine in urethra - lubricates glan penis  
🗑
Prostaglandins in semen affect woman how?   Decrease mucus plug of cervix & reverse peristalsis in uterus to facilitate sperm movement through female reproductive tract.  
🗑
Male orgasm is a __ reflex.   spinal  
🗑
Everyday, a healthy adult male makes apx. __ sperm.   400 million  
🗑
Normal chromosome number in most body cells is __.   46 - "2n" - diploid chromosomal number.  
🗑
homologous chromosomes   pairs of similar chromosomes - one from each parent.  
🗑
Number of chromosomes in gametes.   23 - "n" - haploid chromosomal number  
🗑
Meiosis consists of __ nuclear divisons & product is __ daughter cells with __ as many chromosomes as typical body cells.   2 - 4 - half  
🗑
Erectile dysfunction results from lack of __.   nitric oxide  
🗑
Synapsis   In Prophase of Meiosis I - replicated chromosomes seek out & pair up with their homologous partners - tetrads are formed.  
🗑
tetrads   Little groups of 4 chromatids - in Prophase of Meiosis I.  
🗑
Chiasmata   Crossovers that occur within each tetrad as free ends exchange.  
🗑
Reduction division of meiosis   Meiosis I reduces chromosome number from 2n to n.  
🗑
What unique even occurs in meiosis that is not in mitosis?   Synapsis - tetrads formation of little packets of 4 chromatids  
🗑
Longest period of meiosis   Prophase I - 90% of time  
🗑
Which phase of meiosis is like mitosis?   Phase 2  
🗑
Equational division of meiosis   Meiosis II - because chromatids are distributed equally to daughter cells.  
🗑
What 2 important tasks does meiosis accomplish?   (1) reduces chromosomal number by half & (2) introduces genetic variability.  
🗑
What increases genetic variability in meiosis?   Random alignment of homologous pairs during meiosis I, & cross over during Prophase I.  
🗑
Type B cell of spermatogonia   Becomes primary spermatocyte destined to produce 4 sperm.  
🗑
Spermatocytes become __.   secondary spermatocytes, then spermatids.  
🗑
Spermiogenesis   Spermatids become sperm - tail forms  
🗑
acrosome   lysosome-like sperm helmet used to penetrate egg.  
🗑
What cell type results from meiosis?   spermatids  
🗑
brain-testicular axis   interactions between hypothalamus, anterior pituitary gland, & testes for hormonal regulation.  
🗑
__ stimulates spermatogenesis.   FSH - follicle-stimulating hormone.  
🗑
__ binds to interstitial cells & causes testosterone secretion.   LH - luteinizing hormone  
🗑
What does inhibin do?   hormone that inhibits sperm count.  
🗑
Testosterone is synthesized from __.   cholesterol  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
