scrotum
sac testes.
Tunica vaginalis- (lining of scrotum) same layer in scrotum and vagina.
Sperm is produced in these sacs.
They are reproductive gland
Testes
heterocrine gland
Exocrine: sperm
Endocrine: testosterone and estrogen.
Testes=reproductive glands.
Location of testes
two, one on either side of the midline in the scrotum.
Structure and function of testes
tubulo avelor:
carry sperm
endocrine testosterone and estrogen
spermatic ducts
two on each side of the midline
semenfierous tubules
long coiled structure
forms bulk of testicular mass
seminal vesicle
pouch that secretes alkaline fluid into mainline channel to offset ureic acid.
Vas deferens
vas means vessels
deferen means smooth
what gets cut in vasectomy.
Thick smooth muscular tube allows sperm to exit from epididymis and pass from scrotal sac into abdominal cavity.
Ejaculatory duct
goes to midline
empties into urethra
location of ejaculatory duct
inside testes, exits backside testes
then up through inguinal rings, where joins seminal vesicle to ejaculatory ducts- on “Y” to midline.
ends in urethra.
function and structure of ejaculatory duct
tubulo avelor: tubes and sacs
to carries sperm
Urethra
common tube to both reproductive and excretory
location of urethra
on the midline
structure of urethra
different male to female. It’s elongated in male and short tube in female.
c. Function: to carry urine, in both sexes, from the urinary bladder to the outside. In male, it carries sperm for reproduction.
Function of urethra
to carry urine, in both sexes, from the urinary bladder to the outside. In male, it carries sperm for reproduction.
Prostate gland
backup to seminal vesicle.
wraps around urethra.
Prostectic hypertrophe: enlarged prostate
Prostatectomy
removal of enlarged prostate.
location of prostate gland
circle around urethra under neck of the bladder
structure and function of prostate gland
tubulo alveolar- gland
function: secretion of alkaline fluid into urethra. The fluid offsets ureic acid.
Penis
urogenital
genitourinary tube
location of the penis
middle of inferior portion of abdominal region
structure of penis
contains common tube, urethra, that runs lagitudinally through penis to the outside
function of penis
reproduction and urination
Embryo
period of development of embryo starts at conception til end of eighth week.
Fetus
beginning with week nine to birth. Period of growth
ovaries
heterocrine reproductive glands
location of ovaries
within the pelvic cavity and are attached to the fallopian tube
structure of ovaries
solid- filled with all the eggs there will ever be
function of ovaries
Oogenesis: egg production
Oo- egg
Ova-eggs
as well as heterocrine
ovaries endocrine
progesterone
estrogen
Progesterone in ovaries
maintains the functions to keep pregnancy going
Exocrine in ovaries
eggs out into tubes
Uterine tubes
fallopian tubes or oviducts
Location of uterine tubes
in pelvic cavity attached to each side of the uterus
structure of uterine tubes
mucus membrane lined, muscular tubes
Function of uterine tubes
carry ova (eggs) and fertilization occurs “normally” in the tubes. It carries the egg to the uterus
uterus fundus:
top of uterus
location of uterus
pelvic cavity, front to back
1. pubic symphesis
2. urinary bladder
3. uterus
4. rectum
5. coccyx (tailbone)
uterus body
- large middle section
uterus cervix
constricted base of uterus located just above the vagina
Metrium
always refers to uterus
endometrium
inside layer
myometrium
thick heavy muscle for contractions
perimetrium
perimeter layer
extruterine
outside the uterus
tubal pregnancy
cell attaches to the tube
function of uterus
gestation, contractions at birth.
function of uterus: Oxitosia
hormone from pituitary that causes contractions
function of uterus: Pertosin
injected to induce labor
vagina
the birth canal
location of vagina
just inferior to the cervix
structure of vagina
mucus membrane lined tube that extends to the outside
function of vagina
mucus membrane lined tube that extends to the outside
nerves of gonads
Pudendal nerves, (2, r and l) thick heavy nerves in both sexes.
Breast
mammary glands: lactiferous glands
location of breast
Lateral anterior chest wall
struction of the breast
glands, contains blood vessels, fat, nerves, skin, lymph vessels
function of breast
gland, milk production
