ANPH Exam (Answered) Questions and
Correct Answers, 100% Correct.
eproduction
process by which genetic material is passed from one generation to the
next
Meiosis
Cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing
organisms
Zygote
Develops into an embryo
Embryo
Develops into fetus
Testes
male gonads, produce sperm and male sex hormones
Tucina albuginea
white fibrous connective tissue covering testes
Lobule
Tunica extends inside & divide testes into smaller compartments
Spermatogenesis
the production of sperm cells. •Spermatogonia > primary spermatocytes >
secondary spermatocytes > spermatids > spermatozoa = sperm cells
Sertoli cells
supply developing sperm cells with nutrients
,2|Page
Interstitial cells of Leydig
secrete testosterone and other male sex hormones (androgens), are
found between seminiferous tubules
How many sperm cells are produced in a man daily
300 million
How long can sperm live in the female tract for
48 hours
Head
contains genetic material & acrosome
Acrosome
has enzymes that aid sperm in penetrating covering of ovum
Middle piece
contains mitochondria that make ATP for locomotion of the sperm
Tail
propels sperm
functions of testosterone
stimulates reproductive organ development, underlies sex drive, causes
secondary sex characteristics,Muscle buildup & bone development-broad
shoulders, narrow hips
Causes sperm maturation,Causes thyroid cartilage enlargement - Adam's
apple, deepening of voice
Produces body hair patterns
Aggression
seminiferous tubules
, 3|Page
Small convoluted tubules in the testes where spermatogenesis takes
place. Also transports sperm
rete testis
network of ducts
Efferent ducts
series of coiled tubes that transport spermatozoa from the rete testis to
the epididymis
Straight tubules
connect seminiferous tubules to rete testis, located at the tip of each
lobule
ductus epididymis
site of sperm maturation and storage
Epididymis
Located along the posterior border of a testis, site where sperm continue
to mature, takes sperm around 20 days to move through this tube, stores
maturing sperm as they develop their swimming capability. It propels
sperm towards the next part of the system during ejaculation
vans deferens (ductus deferens)
Also known as the seminal duct, each ductus deferens empties into the
ejaculatroy duct
Ejaculatory duct
ejects spermatozoa into urethra
Urethra
terminal duct- 3 parts Prostatic urethra
Membranous urethra cavernous urethra
