create and transport the male gamete cell, ___________
Sperm
Sperm are produced in the ________ and transported through a duct system to reach the
external world
Testes
The __________ are the site of sperm creation and development in the male reproductive
system
Testes
The testes are covered and protected by two tissues, what are these tissues?
Tunica Vaginalis and Tunica Albuginea
__________________ is the outer protective covering of the testes
Tunica Vaginalis
_________________ is the inner fibrous coat or capsule of the testes
Tunica Albuginea
Extensions from the tunica albuginea penetrate into the testis, dividing it into
approximately 250-300 compartments known as ____________
Lobules
Within the testes are tightly coiled ____________________________
Seminiferous tubules
These tubules are the sperm producing factories, they are known as?

Leydig
_________ are gametes of the male reproductive system, and carry the paternal genetic
information
Sperm
Sperm can be organized into four regions, what are these regions?
Head
Neck
Midpiece
Tail
This part of the sperm is flat and has an oval shape. It contains the nucleus, which
contributes either an X or Y chromosome to the fertilization process
Head
This part of the sperm contains the acrosomal cap, which contains enzymes that are
released prior to fertilization to help the sperm penetrate the layers of the eggs
Head
This part of the sperm connects the head to the midpiece
Neck
This part of the perm is the continuation of the neck with a mitochondrial collar that helps
produce energy
Midpiece
The _______, or flagellum, is the source of movement for the sperm
