Seminiferous Tubules
Actual site of sperm production within the testes
scrotum
skin-covered sac
helps to regulate the testicular temperature, critical for sperm production
Epidiymis
where sperm mature after formation in the seminiferous tubules
Vas Deferns
carries sperm out of the production site in the scrotum and into the abdomen for delivery out of the male's body
Ampulla
Can stor sperm for several months. Loacted near the distal end of the vas deferens
Spermatic Cord
leading superiorly out of the scrotal region
cremaster muscle
assists the scrotum in controlling the testicular temperature
Inguinal canal
short tunnel in the muscualr wall of the abdomen
ejaculatory duct
connects the vas deferns to the urethra
urethra
serves a dual purpose for the male body. acts to deliver both sperm and urine to the external environment
penis
delivery device for the sperm. serves as the male's copulatory organ
corpus spongiosum
surrounding the urethra, which tunnels through the center of the penis
corpora cavernosa
located on the posterior and lateral aspects of the penis
glans
at the distal end of the penis - enlarged restion
prepuse/foreskin
small fold of skin that covers the glans at birth
semen
sperm and glandular secretions
seminal vesicles
paried glands located just posterior to the baldder and inferior to the ampulla of the vas deferens. produce a water, alkaline, buffered secretion that is high in fructose
prostate gland
inferior to the urinary bladder - completely surrounds the urethra - secretions conatin antibacertal agents
bulbourethral glands
lateral to the urethra. produce materials which help to clean and lubricate the urethra before the sperm move through, since urine is toxic to sperm.
Ovaries
Responsiable fore the production of the eggs and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone
Fallopian tubes
serves as a pathway for the egg to get to the usterus and at the site of fertilization. Also contain an funnel-shaped are called the Infundibulum and finger-like structurs called Fimbrae
Uterus
Lies within the pelvis. houses the developing fetus during pregnancy
Fundus
the superior portion of the uterus
body
central region of the uterus
Cerivx
at the inferior end of the uterus - muscular opening
Endometrium
the inner surface of the uterus. flandular lining sloughs each month producing the menstrual flow
myometrium
thick layer of smooth musch that forms most of the wall of the uterus
vagina
serves mutiple functions. female's copulator organ, birth canal, and passageway for the menstural flow
vulva
located externally and remaining structures of the female reproductive system
labia
the outer tissue folds at the openings of the female system
labia minora
thisn muscous membrane folds that lie clost to the opending of the vaginal and urethra
labia majora
thicker skin folds that form the external covering of the female's perneal area
clitoris
vemal's version of the penis - becomes engorged with blood during secual exitation
mons pubis
fat pad composed of adipose tissue
diploid
cell that has 46 chromosomes
haploid
cells have only one-half the number of chromosomes that the normal body cells have 23
Meiosis
is a two step process
Meiosis I
Reduction division
Meiosis II
Equational division
What happens in Interphase I
DNA replication
What happens in Prophase I
the nuclear envelop dissolves and the chromosomes become distinct as the DNA coils up
What happens in Metaphase I
Chromosomes will line up as pairs at the equator. this leads to the reduction from 46 to 23 chromosomes in the cell
What happens durning Anaphase I
twenty-three chromosomes (one member of each pair) will move towards each of the paired centrioles located at the cell's poles.
What happens during Telephase I
Teh chromosomes finish their migration towards the centrioles and cytokinesis divides the cell into two separate daughter cells.
What happens in Prophase II
the centrioles multiply and move to the poles of the cell
What happens in Metaphase II
the chromosomes line up single-file at the equator of the cell. the astral ray fibers attach to the centromere of each chromosome
What happens durning Anaphase II
the chromatids from the 23 chromosomes separate and move to the centrioles on the opposite sides of the cell
What happens in Telophase II
The chromosomes complete their migration into the daughter cells, and the nuclear envelop reforms.
What is crossing over
the members of a chromosome pair will exchange comparable pieces of thier SNA with one another.
Primary spermatocyte
the siploid cell that will begin the process of meiosis.
secondary spermatocytes
only have 23 chromosomes, but cntain duplicates of the DNA for those 23 chromosomes.
spermatids
have only a single copy of DNA for each of the 23 chromomsomes, one form each pair of chromosome
The head of the sperm
contains 23 chromosomes that the male will contribute to the formation of a new individual should fertilization occur
acrosomal cap
