| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can store spermatozoa for several months | Ductus deferens |
| Embedded in connective tissue on either side of the midline, sandwiched between the posterior wall of the urinary bladder and the rectum | Seminal glands |
| Secrete a thick, alkaline mucus that helps neutralize any urinary acids | Bulbo-urethral glands |
| A region around the oocyte, called the zona pellucida, develops. | Formation of primary follicles |
| The deeper follicular cells begin secreting fluid that accumulates in small pockets | Formation of secondary follicles |
| The granulosa cells form a protective layer known as the corona radiata. | Formation of a tertiary follicle |
| Release of the secondary oocyte and corona radiata into the pelvic cavity | Ovulation |
| Primary oocytes are located in the outer portion of the ovarian cortex, near the tunica albuginea | Primordial follicles in egg nest |
| A short segment connected to the uterine wall | Isthmus |
| Inner surfaces are lined with cilia that beat toward the lumen of the uterine tube | Infundibulum |
| Fingerlike projections that drape over the surface of the ovary | Fimbriae |
| The opening that connects the uterine cavity to the cervical canal | Internal os |
| Conduct sperm between the epididymis and prostate gland | Ductus deferens |
| Lies deep to the dermis; pulls the testes closer to the body upon contraction | Cremaster muscle |
| Elevates the testes and causes the characteristic wrinkling of the scrotal surface | Dartos muscle |
| Consists of layers of fascia and muscle enclosing the ductus deferens and the blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels that supply the testes | Spermatic cord |
| A raised thickening in the scrotal surface that marks the partition between the two scrotal cavities | Raphe |
| A tough fibrous capsule that is continuous with septa that subdivide the interior of the testis into separate lobules | Tunica albuginea |
| Site of sperm production | Seminiferous tubule |
| Luteinizing hormone (LH) targets the __________ cells of the testes. | interstitial |
| Regarding ovarian follicles, primary oocytes are located in which of the following sites? | In the outer portion of the ovarian cortex, near the tunica albuginea |
| A spermatogonium, which remains in contact with the basal lamina of the tubule, and a primary spermatocyte are formed during which phase of spermatogenesis? | Mitosis |
| The anterior surface of the flaccid penis covers two cylindrical masses of erectile tissue called the __________. | corpora cavernosa |
| Stimulates the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland to release LH and FSH | GnRH |
| Which of the following is an anatomical description of the vesicouterine pouch? | The pocket formed between the uterus and the posterior wall of the urinary bladder |
| the activities of the secretory phase occur under the combined stimulatory effects of progestins and estrogens from the corpus luteum | uterine cycle |
| Stimulates the nurse cells to promote spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis | follicle stimulating hormone, FSH |
| Which of the following is described as the pocket formed between the uterus and the posterior wall of the urinary bladder? | Vesicouterine pouch |
| The shallow recess in the vagina surrounding the tip of the cervix | fornix |
| Which of the following is a histological/anatomical characteristic of the hymen? | An elastic epithelial fold of variable size that partially blocks the entrance to the vagina |
| Stimulates the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland to release LH and FSH | effect of GnRH |
| Which of the following is the action for the hormone inhibin? | Depresses the pituitary production of FSH |
| Which of the following is an anatomical description of the suspensory ligament? | Extends from the lateral surface of the ovary past the open end of the uterine tube to the pelvic wall |
| The differentiation of immature male gametes into physically mature spermatozoa | describes spermiogenesis |
| A spermatozoon loses its attachment to the nurse cell and enters the lumen of the seminiferous tubule. | spermiation |
| High levels of this hormone inhibit the release of GnRH by the hypothalamus. | testosterone |
| Meiosis is? | a special form of cell division involved in gamete production. |
| Corresponding maternal and paternal chromosomes associate to form 23 chromosome pairs. | process of synapsis |
