Terms in this set (49)
What is the difference between primary = direct role in reproduction (gonads)
primary and secondary sex secondary = features that distinguish the two sexes;
characteristics? develop at puberty
What is the process of creating a fertilization; 46 chromosomes
zygote called? How many
chromosomes does it have?
What kinds of sex chromosomes can sperm = X or Y
a sperm contribute? An egg? egg = only X
, What is the function of the scrotum? highly elastic skin; holds testes outside of body for
optimal sperm production
What is the function of the produce sperm in response to FSH; found in testes
seminiferous tubules? Where are they
found?
What is the function of the interstitial produce testosterone in response to LH; found in
cells? Where are they found? testes (between sem. tubules)
What is the function of the site of sperm maturation and storage
epididymis?
What is the function of the vas tubes; carry sperm from epididymis to urethra; cut
deferens? and tied during a vasectomy
What is the function of the Seminal produce Sugar which nourishes sperm & increases
vesicles? motility; produces prostaglandins which stimulate
uterine contractions (aids the movement of sperm
cells)
What is the function of the regulates release of sperm into urethra
ejactulatory duct?
What is the function of the prostate produces basic mucus to protect sperm from
gland? acidity of vagina
What is the function of the Cowper's produces basic mucus that Cleans the urethra of
gland? acidic urine
