FMST 316 Exam #1 Questions with correct answers
testicles - ✔✔involves the cremaster muscles that regulates the temp of testes
- happy sperm is cooler
- muscles relax to cool (ie. fever) and constrict when cold
- when aroused, becomes compact and pulls toward the body (ready for
ejaculation)
creates sperm: seminiferous tubules make sperm and hormones -> mature in
epididymis -> vas deferens -> urethra -> ejaculation
the ejaculate - ✔✔see testicles for basic route: made in testes -> matures in
epididymus -> passes vas deferens / bladder -> picks up fluid from seminal
vesicles and prostate glands -> gets through urethra -> OUT
- only 1% is sperm
priapism - ✔✔persistent and painful erection
peryonie's disease - ✔✔blockage of blood at the base of the penis (corpus
corpora tissue)
- some tissue doesn't receive blood from blockage causing the penis to curve (the
soft part)
clitoral sensitivity - ✔✔gonad that turns into clitorus
same amount of nerve endings as the tip of the penis
, direct stimulation may be painful/ticklish
- indirect (fingers/mouth) is better to reach orgasm
the vagina - ✔✔Angle:
- canal: upwards and tilt slightly backwards
Structure:
- 3 layers: outermost -> inner
- vaginal mucosa: releases secretion to maintain healthy chemical balance and
during sexual arousal from increased blood flow
- second layer is muscular: tighten when aroused
- lower layer: sensory nerves highly susceptible to stimulation - also more
sensitive
- The outer third has circular muscles that expand and contract
- The inner two-thirds have lengthwise muscles
Secretions:
- lubrication serves 3 functions:
- raises chance of contraception (hospitable for sperm)
- increases sexual pleasure
- maintain healthy chemical balance
amenorrhea - ✔✔primary: never menstruated, due to lack of estrogen
