| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| testes | are oval shape glands that are covered with a white fibrous capsule |
| scrotum | a skin covered pouch that contains the testes and their accessory structures |
| dartos muscles | is within the scrotal septum and scrotal wall |
| tunica albuginea | a dense white fibrous capsule covering a testis or deep to the surface of an ovary |
| spermatogensis | the maturation of spermatids into sperm |
| epididymis | the site of sperm maturation and storage, curves over the posterior of the corresponding testis |
| seminifierous tubules | a tightly coiled duct, located in the testis, where sperm are produced |
| oocytes | are produced in the ovary and are released during a process called ovulation |
| spermatic cord | a supporting structure of the male reproductive system, extending from a testis to the deep ingunial ring, that includes the ductus (vas) deferens, arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels, nerves, cremaster muscle, and connective tissue |
| ductus deferens | the duct that carries sperm fom the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct |
| leydig cells | a type of cell that secretes testosterone' located in the connective tissue between seminiferous tubules in a mature testis |
| ovaries | female gonad that produces oocytes and the estrogens, progesterone, inhibin and relaxin hormones |
| ovulation | the rupture of a mature ovarian (graafin) follicle with discharge of a secondary oocyte into the pelvic cavity |
| sertoli cells | a supporting cell in the seminiferous tublues that secretes fluid for supplying nutrients to sperm and the hormone inhibin, removes excess cytoplasm from spermatogenic cells, and mediates the effects of FSH and testosterone on spermatogenesis |
| broad ligaments | a double fold of parietal peritoneum attaching the uterus to the side of the pelvic cavity |
| perimetrium | the serosa of the uterus |
| suspensory ligaments | a fold of peritoneum extending laterally from the surface of the ovary to the pelvic wall |
| myometrium | the smooth muscle layer of the uterus |
| endometrium | the muscous membrane lining the uterus |
| follicular cells | secrete estrogen |
| granulsoa cells | surrounding the follicular cells |
| graafin follicles | a large, fluid-filled follicle containing a secondary oocyte and surrounding granulosa cells that secrete estrogens |
| corpus luteum | a yellowish body in the ovary formed when a follicle has discharged its secondary oocyte; secretes estrogens, progesterone, relaxin and inhibin |
| corpus albicans | a white fibrous patch in the ovary that forms after the corpus luteum regresses |
