Under the influence of androgens, the embryonic______duct develops into the male reproductive tract.
mesonephric
Spermatozoa obtain energy for locomotion from_____in the semen
fructose
The_______, a network of veins in the spermatic cord, helps keep the testes cooler than the core body temperature.
panpiniform plexus
All germ cells beginning with the_______are genetically different from the rest of the body cells and therefore must be protected by the blood-testis barrier.
second spermatocytes
The corpora cavernosa as well as the testes have a fibrous capsule called the______.
tunica albuginea
Over half of the semen consits of secretions from a pair of glands called the______.
seminal vesicles

deep
A sperm penetrates the egg by means of enzymes in its______.
aerosome
T/F The male scrotum is homologous to the female labis majora.
True
T/F Sperm cannot develop at the core body temperature.
True
T/F Luteinizing hormone stimulates the testes to secrete testosterone.
True
T/F The testes and penis are the primary sex organs of the male.
False, only the testes are the primary sex organs
T/F A high testosterone level makes a fetus develop a male reproductive system, and a high estrogen level makes it develop a female reproductive system.
False, female development results from a low testosterone level, not from estrogen
T/F Most of the semen is produced by the seminal vesicles.
True
T/F The pampiniform plexus serves to keep the testes warm.
False, the pampiniform plexus prevents the testes from overheating

False, sperm are stored in the epididymis.
T/F Male menopause is the cessation of sperm production around the age of 55.
False, no such thing as male menopause
T/F Erection is caused by parasympathetic stimulation of the penile arteries.
True
