|---|---|---|
| 1 | LIST THE TWO PRINCIPAL FUNCTIONS OF THE TESTIS. | 1. PRODUCE SPERM
2. PRODUCE TESTOSTERONE |
| 2 |  |  |
| 3 | A COMMON PART OF ANY PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE MALE IS PALPATION OF THE PROSTATE. HOW IS THIS ACCOMPLISHED? (THINK!) | PHYSICIAN GENTLY INSERTS FINGER THROUGH THE ANTERIOR WALL OF THE RECTUM. |
| 4 | HOW MIGHT ENLARGEMENT OF THE PROSTATE INTERFERE WITH URINATION OR THE REPRODUCTIVE ABILITY OF THE MALE? | AT IT ENLARGES, LAYERS OF TISSUE SURROUNDING IT STOPS IT FROM EXPANDING CAUSING THE GLAND TO PRESS AGAINST THE URETHRA. THIS CONSTRICTION OF THE URETHRA MAY LEAD TO NON PASSAGE OF URINE OR SPERM. |
| 5 | WHY ARE THE TESTES LOCATED IN THE SCROTUM RATHER THAN INSIDE THE VENTRAL BODY CAVITY. | THE SCROTUM PROVIDES A SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURE FOR OPTIMAL SPERM PRODUCTION. |
| 6 | COPULATORY ORGAN/PENETRATING DEVICE | E. PENIS |
| 7 | MUSCULAR PASSAGEWAY CONVEYING SPERM TO THE EJACULATORY DUCT; IN THE SPERMATIC CORD | B. DUCTUS (VAS) DEFERENS |
| 8 | TRANSPORTS BOTH SPERM AND URINE | K. SPONGY URETHRA |
| 9 | SPERM MATURATION SITE | C. EPIDIDYMIS |
| 10 | LOCATION OF THE TESTIS IN ADULT MALES | I. SCROTUM |
| 11 | LOOSE FOLD OF SKIN ENCIRCLING THE GLANS PENIS | F. PREPUCE |
| 12 | PORTION OF THE URETHRA BETWEEN THE PROSTATE AND THE PENIS | D. MEMBRANOUS URETHRA |
| 13 | EMPTIES A SECRETION INTO THE PROSTATIC URETHRA | G. PROSTATE |
| 14 | EMPTIES A SECRETION INTO THE MEMBRANOUS URETHRA | A. BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS |
| 15 | DESCRIBE THE COMPOSITION OF SEMEN, AND NAME ALL STRUCTURES CONTRIBUTING TO ITS FORMATION. | SPERM AND THE ALKALINE SECRETIONS OF THE PROSTATE, SEMINAL VESICLES (ALSO CONTAINING FRUCTOSE) AND THE BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS. |
| 16 | OF WHAT IMPORTANCE IS THE FACT THAT SEMINAL FLUID IS ALKALINE? | IT HELPS BUFFER THE SPERM AGAINST THE ACID ENVIRONMENT OF THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT. |
| 17 | WHAT STRUCTURES COMPOSE THE SPERMATIC CORD? | CONNECTIVE TISSUE SHEATH (EXTENSION OF THE ABDOMINAL FASCIA), DUCTUS DEFERENS, BLOOD VESSELS, AND LYMPHATIC VESSELS. |
| 18 | WHERE IS IT LOCATED? (SPERMATIC CORD) | PASSES FROM SCROTAL SAC THROUGH THE INGUINAL CANAL INTO THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY. |
| 19 | TRACE THE PATHWAY OF SPERM FROM THE TESTS TO THE URETHRA | SEMINIFEROUS TUBULE -> RETE TESTIS -> EPIDIDYMIS -> DUCTUS DEFERENS |
| 20 | NAME THE STRUCTURES COMPOSING THE EXTERNAL GENITALIA, OR VULVA, OF THE FEMALE. | MONS PUBIS, LABIA MAJORA, LABIA MINORA, CLITORIS, URETHRA AND VEGINAL ORIFICES, HYMEN AND GREATER VESTIBULAR GLANDS. |
| 21 |  |  |
| 22 | SITE OF FETAL DEVELOPMENT | UTERUS |
| 23 | COPULATORY CANAL | VAGINA |
| 24 | EGG TYPICALLY FERTILIZED HERE | UTERINE (FALLOPIAN) TUBE |
| 25 | BECOMES ERECT DURING SEXUAL EXCITEMENT | CLITORIS |
| 26 | DUCT EXTENDING SUPEROLATERALLY FROM THE UTERUS | HYMEN |
| 27 | PRODUCES OOCYTES, ESTROGENS, AND PROGESTERONE | OVARIES |
| 28 | FINGERLIKE ENDS OF THE UTERINE TUBE | FIMBRIAE |
| 29 | DO ANY SPERM ENTER THE PELVIC CAVITY OF THE FEMALE? WHY OR WHY NOT? | YES, BECAUSE THERE IS NO ANATOMIC CONTINUITY BETWEEN THE OVARY AND THE FIRST PART OF THE DUCT SYSTEM (UTERINE TUBE) |
| 30 | WHAT IS AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY, AND HOW CAN IT HAPPEN? | IT IS WHEN AN EMBRYO IMPLANTS IN A SITE OTHER THEN THE UTERUS. IT MAY OCCUR WHEN THE UTERINE (FALLOPIAN) TUBES ARE BLOCKED (PREVENTS PASSAGE) OR WHEN THE EGG IS LOST IN THE PERITONEAL CAVITY AND FERTILIZATION OCCURS THERE. |
| 31 | PUT THE FOLLOWING VESTIBULAR PERINEAL STRUCTURES IN THEIR PROPER ORDER FROM THE ANTERIOR TO THE POSTERIOR ASPECT: VAGINAL ORIFICE, ANUS, URETHRAL OPENING, AND CLITORIS. | ANTERIOR LIMIT: CLITORIS -> URETHRAL OPENING -> ANUS. |
| 32 | ASSUME A COUPLE HAS JUST CONSUMMATED THE SEX ACT AND THE SPERM HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED IN THE VAGINA. TRACE THE PATHWAY OF THE SPERM THROUGH THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT. | VAGINA -> CERVIX -> UTERUS -> UTERINE TUBE -> PERITONEAL CAVITY. |
| 33 | DEFINE OVULATION. | EJECTION OF AN IMMATURE EGG (OOCYTE) FROM THE OVARY. |
| 34 | THE TESTIS IS DIVIDED INTO A NUMBER OF LOBES BY CONNECTIVE TISSUE. EACH OF THESE LOBES CONTAINS ONE TO FOUR _____1________, WHICH CONVERGE TO EMPTY SPERM INTO ANOTHER SET OF TUBULES CALLED THE _____2_________. | 1. SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES
2. RETI TESTIS |
| 35 | WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE CAVERNOUS BODIES SEEN IN THE PENIS? | THE TISSUE CAN BECOME ENGORGED WITH BLOOD, THIS MAKING THE PENIS STIFF AND MORE EFFECTIVE AS A PENETRATING DEVICE. |
| 36 | NAME THE THREE LAYERS OF THE UTERINE WALL FROM THE INSIDE OUT. | ENDOMETRIUM, MYOMETRIUM, PERIMETRIUM (SEROSA) |
| 37 | WHICH OF THESE IS SLOUGHED DURING MENSES? | ENDOMETRIUM |
| 38 | WHICH CONTRACTS DURING CHILDBIRTH? | MYOMETRIUM |
| 39 | WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE STEREOCILIA EXHIBITED BY THE EPITHELIAL CELLS OF THE MUCOUS OF THE EPIDIDYMIS? | TO ABSORB EXCESS FLUID AND PROVIDE NUTRIENTS TO THE MATURING SPERM. |
| 40 |  |  |
| 41 | GLANDS THAT PRODUCE MILK DURING LACTATION | A. ALVEOLI |
| 42 | SUBDIVISION OF MAMMARY LOBES THAT CONTAIN ALVEOLI | E. LOBULE |
| 43 | ENLARGED STORAGE CHAMBERS FOR MILK | D. LACTIFEROUS SINUS |
| 44 | DUCTS CONNECTING ALVEOLI TO THE STORAGE CHAMBERS | C. LACTIFEROUS DUCT |
| 45 | PIGMENTED AREA SURROUNDING THE NIPPLE | B. AREOLA |
| 46 | RELEASES MILK TO THE OUTSIDE | F. NIPPLE |

Hi jncanf, Just thought you'd like to know that your missing Vaginal Orifice after Urethral Opening on Card Number 31. Thanks again for making these. Huge help!
Thank YOU Eric
PS Blessings Too
No problem jumsky,I know studying for the lecture test is hard enough just hope this helps ease your lab and gives you more time for lecture.
I appreciate ur effort to help others. u saved my neck.
I still got some i never got to but I can check
What 39 called?
Thanks so much you wouldn't by chance have Exercise 39?? Thanks again, this really helped! =)
31 is missing a structure. Thanks for the cards!
card 26 in Excercise 42 combines questions 5 & 6. The answer to this question is Fallopian (Uterine) Tube and Question 6. Partially closes the vaginal canal; a membrane Answer: Hymen :) Thank you for these. They are WONDERFUL!
wow cant believe I misspelled that one ha ha, Thanks I am gonna fix it sad313
