FMST 316 Exam 1 #1 Questions with correct answers
testicles (3) - ✔✔- 2 testes
- produces hormones and sperm
- analogous to ovaries
cremaster muscle function (3) - ✔✔- contracts and release to regulate
temperature (just below body temperature)
- contracts when sexually aroused in anticipation of ejaculation
- brings testes up during fight or flight (high adrenaline)
epididymis (2) - ✔✔- c shaped structure with head, body and tail that covers testis
- where immature sperm from tubules mature and are stored
scrotum - ✔✔pouch of skin that holds the testes and epididymis in scrotal sac
seminiferous tubules (3) - ✔✔- long, thin, coiled tubes in testes responsible for
sperm production and storage
- spermatogenesis occurs after onset of puberty which decreases with age
- interstitial cells located between tubules that produce androgens to secrete into
bloodstream
ejaculate and its path (2) - ✔✔sperm mixed with prostate and seminal vesicle
fluid (70%)
, seminiferous tubules > epididymis > vas deferens > prostate > exits through
urethra
priapism and what causes it (2) - ✔✔persistent and painful erection that lasts for
hours due to spongy tissue holding onto blood for too long = stretched tissue
caused by circulatory disorder, drugs or hypertension
Peyronie's disease - ✔✔curvature of penis due to build up of scar tissue/calcium
deposits in spongy tissue = blockage of blood and pain
clitoral sensitivity - ✔✔same number of nerve endings as penis but more sensitive
because they are concentrated in a small region
the vagina and its functions (4) - ✔✔- 10-14 cm long with few nerve endings
- for intercourse and acts as canal for blood and birth
- angled towards back with walls lined together, potential space that you put

- secretes fluids to clean vagina and keep bacteria out as well as for lubrication
when aroused
primary amenorrhea - ✔✔no period before age 15
secondary amenorrhea - ✔✔absence of period for 3+ months in women who
