🗑
structure of testes   paired, bilateral ovoid shaped suspended by spermatic cord, contained within scrotum  
🗑
function of testes   production of sperm & testosterone  
🗑
structure of epididymis   tightly coiled tube that emerges from top of each testis, leads to vas deferens  
🗑
function of epididymis   stores sperm cells until they mature  
🗑
structure of vas deferens   muscular tube passes along the medial side of the testis into abdominal cavity makes up spermatic cord ends behind urinary bladder  
🗑
function of vas deferens   transports sperm  
🗑
structure of seminal vesicle   convoluted, sac-like structure, 5 cm long attached to each vas deferens at bse of the bladder  
🗑
function of the seminal vesicle   secretes slightly alkaline fluid consisting of fructose & other nutrients for sperm cells produces 60% of volume of sperm  
🗑
structure of ejaculatory duct   short tube (1 inch) beginning at seminal vesicle & ending in the prostate gland  
🗑
function of ejaculatory duct   transport sperm & seminal fluid to urethra  
🗑
structure of prostate gland   firm structure the size of a chestnut composed of muscular glandular tissue  
🗑
function of prostate gland   secretes thin, milky, alkaline fluid which contributes to the motility of sperm  
🗑
structure of cowper's gland   2 pea-sized glands under the male urethra  
🗑
function of cowper's gland   provide lubrication during sexual intercourse  
🗑
structure of scrotum   sac like 2 seperate chambers each chamber encloses a testis  
🗑
function of scrotum   provides a cooler home for the testes  
🗑
structure of penis   shaft is composed of 3 columns of erectile tissue -2 corpora cavernosa -corpora spongiosum  
🗑
function of penis   specialized to become erect for insertion into the vagina during sexual intercourse  
🗑
structure of ovaries   solid, ovoid shaped structures subdivided into 2 sections - medulla, cortex  
🗑
location of ovaries   lie bilateral to the uterus inferior to fallopian tubes  
🗑
function of ovaries   at puberty, they release progesterone & produce the female sex hormone estrogen releases a mature egg cell during the menstrual cycle  
🗑
structure of fallopian tubes (oviducts)   pair of ducts forms a funnel shaped region near the ovary called the infundibulum infundibulum surrounded by fringe of finger-like projections called fimbrae  
🗑
function of fallopian tubes (oviducts)   cilia along with peristaltic contractions of its wall move the egg cell on the uterus  
🗑
structure of uterus   muscular, hollow, shaped like an inverted pear uterine wall has 3 layers -endometrium -myometrium -perimetrium  
🗑
function of uterus   receives & sustains developing fetus capable of enlarging up to 500 times  
🗑
structure of vagina   thin walled muscular tube-like structure lined with mucous membranes  
🗑
funciton of vagina   receives the erect penis during intercourse converys uterine secretions transports offspring during birth  
🗑
structure of labia majora   large folds of fatty tissue extending from the mons pubis to the perinial floor  
🗑
function of labia majora   protects inner structures contains sensory nerve endings, secaceous & sudoriferous glands  
🗑
structure of labia minora   smaller folds, devoid of hair that merge anteriorly to form the prepuce of the clitoris  
🗑
funciton of labia minora   protect the openings of the vagina & urethra  
🗑
structure of clitoris   composed of erectile tissue  
🗑
function of clitoris   sexual arousal  
🗑
structure of vestibule   space enclosing the structures beneath labia minora  
🗑
function of vestibule   contains the clitoris, urethra, hymen, & vaginal opening  
🗑
paraurethral or Skene's glands   responsible for secretions of mucus & are similar to the male prostate gland  
🗑
Bartholin's glands or vestibular   lubricates the vagina for sexual intercourse  
🗑
perinuem   diamond shaped area from the symphysis pubis & extends to the anus region that contains the reproductive structures  
🗑
structure of mammary glands   located in subcutaneious tissue of the anterior thorax composed of about 15-20 lobes nipple surrounded by areola  
🗑
function of mammary glands   specialized to secrete milk following pregnancy under the influence of prolactin, milk is formed oxytocin allows the milk to be released  
🗑
