4. What are the primary sex organs in the Ovaries
female reproductive system?
5. What gametes are produced by the female Ova (egg)
reproductive system?
6. What are the primary sex hormones in fe- Estrogen and Progesterone
males?
7. What is the function of the scrotum? To house the testes and maintain a temper-
ature 3°C lower than core body temperature
for sperm production.
8. What is the site of spermatogenesis? Testes
9. What structures are involved in the male Epididymis, Ductus (vas) deferens, Ejacula-
duct system? tory duct, Urethra
10. What is the length of the duct of the epi- Approximately 6 meters

A surgical procedure that cuts and ligates
the ductus deferens, serving as a permanent
form of birth control.
13. What are the three regions of the male Prostatic urethra, Intermediate part (mem-
urethra? branous urethra), Spongy urethra
14. What is the function of the seminal glands? To produce viscous, alkaline seminal fluid
that comprises 70% of semen volume.
15. What does the prostate gland secrete? Milky, slightly acidic fluid containing cit-
rate, enzymes, and prostate-specific antigen
(PSA).
16. What is the role of bulbo-urethral glands? To produce thick, clear mucus during sexual
arousal that lubricates the glans penis.
17. What is the composition of semen? A milky-white mixture of sperm and accesso-
ry gland secretions.
18. What hormone is released by the hypothal- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
amus to regulate the male reproductive
system?
19. What hormones are secreted by the ante- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and
rior pituitary in response to GnRH? Luteinizing hormone (LH)
