Flashcards: ANSCI MALE REPRODUCTIVE

glands that produce hormones that are involved in reproduction and other functions of the body

production of gametes

the process of sperm production that takes place in the testes

the process of ovum production that takes place in the ovary

plays an important role in the sexual and reproductive development in female animals

produced in the testicular leydig in the males

produced in the corpus luteum

maintains pregnancy in females

responsible for regulating sex differentiation, producing male sex characteristic, spermatogenesis and fertility

general function of the male reproductive system

where does sperm production situated in the testis

secretion of male sex hormones

where are the testis found in the Avian species

where are the testis found in the Mammal species

envelop and nourish the developing spermatozoa

animals with vertical testis

a sugar that is a potential source of energy for the spermatozoa.

function as a transport medium for the spermatozoa

what does the semen contain

A long, convoluted tube connecting the vasa efferentia of the testis with the ductus deferens

it transport, concetration, maturation, and storage of sperm before ejaculation

parts of epididymis

part of the epididymis which is the entry point of produced sperm from the testes

part of the epididymis which is involves the maturation of the sperm

part of the epididymis which is involved in sperm storage

During ejaculation, it propels the spermatozoa from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct in the urethra 18 D

a muscular tube which merges with the epididymis

external covering of the testes, thermoregulatory function

how many degrees should the inside of the scrotum be

muscle in the scrotum

increases or decreases surface area by contracting or relaxing the scrotum

Drawing testis nearer to the abdomen for warmth or lowering for heat loss

an erectile tissue whose main function is to drain the urinary bladder of urine

called the organ of copulation for its copulatory function

an organ of erection and ejaculation and serves to introduce the spermatozoa into the vagina

A rudimentary organ located at the tip of penis that aids for sexual drive.

S--curve/shape’ that holds penis within the body when not erected or helps extend the penis when erected

contains decomposing urine and source of boar odor

Paired muscle which retracts the penis into the sheath after extension (helps with the erection

extends in length by a muscle to penetrate the female

what does a fibroelastic penis use to straighten

this penis type extends by filling the glans penis with blood

animals with fibroelastic penis

animals with musculovascular penis

An enlarged portion of the ductus deferens just before its entrance into the urethra. • Contribute to the volume of semen

they produce a secretion high in fructose, which act as vehicle for sperm transport.

It produces a viscous secretion, which stimulates sperm activity and gives the semen its characteristic odor.

Produces thick clear mucus prior to ejaculation that drains into the spongy urethra. • This gland responsible for the boar taint

it secretes an alkaline material which serves to clean the urethra prior to ejaculation; produce a lubricating substance
