testies
male gonads
leidig cells
aka interstitial cells; secrete testosterone
stertoli cells
AKA sustenacular cells, Supplies nutrients to devlpoing sperm
spermatids
Immature derivatives of germ cells, develop and mature to become sperm
ovary
Glands that produce the egg cells and hormones
primordial follicles
ova paused in meiosis, surrounded by a single layer of support cells
developing follicles
support cells become cuboidal and multiply as the ova continues through meiosis and the follicle gets larger
tertiary follicle
largest developed follicle capable of undergoing ovulation
corpus luteum
a remnant of follicle after ovulation that secretes the hormone progesterone
scrotum
External sac that contains the testes
testis
male reproductive organ that produces sperm and hormones
seminiferous tubules
site of sperm production-within testis
epididymis
site of sperm maturation between seminiferous tubules and ductus deferens
spermatic cord
extends upward from the epididymis and is attached to each testicle
ductus deferens
transports sperm
cremaster muscle
elevates the scrotum
penis
Male reproductive organ
glans penis
rounded head of the penis, contains many sensory neurons
prepuce
foreskin
corpora cavernosa male
two erectile tissues Homologous
corpus spongiosum
Single erectile tissue surrounding the urethra.
urethra
tube leading from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body
accessory glands
seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands
seminal gland
secretes 60% of semen volume
prostate gland
secretes 30 percent of semen volume
bulbourethral gland
secretes alkalin lubricating fluid
ovaries
produce of (ova) eggs and estrogens
uterine (fallopian) tubes
connect ovary with uterus
fimbriae
finger or fringe like projections at the end of the fallopian tubes
uterus
site of implantation of fertilized ovum
cervix
narrow, inferior region that secretes mucus
vagina
Muscular tube
vulva
external female genitalia
labia majora
outer lips
Homologous to skin of scrotum
labia minora
the smaller inner folds of the vulva
Homologous to skin of penis shalft
external urethral orifice
opening of the urethra to the outside
prepuce
skin covering the glans clitoris, often called the "clitoral hood"
greater vestibular glands
secrete lubricate to the vagina
hymen
epithelial tissue that may temporality obstruct the vagina in some individuals
clitoris
Erectile tissue with sensory nerves
glans clitoris
The anterior most tip of the clitoris
corpora cavernosa female
Two erectile tissues in females
bulbs of vestibule
bodies of erectile tissue homologous to the corpus spongiosum split in two
