| Testes-the male gonads (sex glands) | Develop in abdominal cavity as fetus. Descend into scrotum before birth. |
| 2 major functions of testes | Production of testosterone Production of sperm |
| Epididymus – | tubular structure on each testis in which sperm cells mature |
| Vas Deferens – | tube that transports sperm from the testes to seminal vesicle |
| Scrotum | pouch of skin containing testes and epididymus Darker and more wrinkled at puberty Contains muscle fibers that influence position of testes |
| Testes move in relation to...? One usually hangs lower than the other Very sensitive | temperature,stress, and arousal |
| Glans | smooth, rounded head of penis Extremely sensitive Partially covered by foreskin at birth |
| Urethral opening – | at tip of glans |
| Shaft | longer body of penis Loose – allows for erections Contains cylinders of erectile tissue |
| Seminal Vesicle – | gland at end of each vas deferens Secretes chemical to make sperm motile About 70% of seminal fluid |
| Prostate – | gland underneath bladder (and surrounding urethra) Also secretes some chemicals in semen Prevalence of prostate problems… |
| Cowper’s Glands – | Coat the urethra for sperm There are 2 at base of penis |
| Vulva = | Female external sex organs Great variation in sizes and shapes Entire area is a major erogenous zone Especially visible: mons and labia majora |
| Mons – | cushion of fatty tissue over pubic bone. |
| Labia Majora | 2 folds of skin covering and protecting INNER, more sensitive organs Inner organs unseen unless they are parted |
| Labia Minora | two inner folds of skin Surround Vaginal and Urethral openings Meet above clitoris to form a hood |
| Vaginal opening (introitus) | May not be seen as an “opening” Partially covered by hymen |
| Clitoris | especially sensitive organ where labia minora meet. |
| Glans – | sensitive head of clitoris, is visible |
| Glans has as many nerve endings as the head of a man’s penis. Sole purpose seems to be related to arousal and pleasure | |
| Shaft – (female) | longer body of clitoris, contains erectile tissue |
| Vagina – | muscular, elastic canal Best described as “potential space” Some degree of muscular control is possible |
| Hymen – | membrane of tissue covering the vaginal opening |
| the Hymen.... | present at birth, varies in thickness and in number of holes No known function, but historically has been a sign of virginity If present at first intercourse, some pain and bleeding may occur. |
| Uterus (womb) – | thick walled, pear-shaped, muscular organ Provides nourishing environment for fetus |
| 3 layers of the uterus.... | Perimetrium Myometrium Endometrium |
| Perimetrium | thin outer cover |
| Myometrium | thick middle layer of muscle |
| Endometrium – | inner layer, rich in blood vessels |
| Cervix – | “neck” of uterus that extends to back of vagina. |
| Ovaries – | Secrete sex hormones Development of egg cells (ova) almond-shaped glands on both sides of uterus (and attached to it) |
| Fallopian tubes – | extend from uterus to the ovaries |
| Fimbriae – | fingerlike projections that hover over ovaries |
| Areola – | darkened skin around nipple |
| Breasts | Little variation in amount of milk glands Variations of breast sizes and shapes are due to variations in fatty tissue |
