Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.

front 10

1. its inner (visceral) membrane forms part of the filtration membrane

2. why is the glomerulus such a high pressure capillary bed?

back 10

1. glomerulus.

2. because its fed and drained by arterioles and the feeder afferent arteriole is larger than efferent arteriole draining the bed

front 11

1. how does its high pressure condition aid its function of filtrate formation?

back 11

1. the high hydrostatic pressure forces out fluid and blood components smaller than proteins from the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule.

2. lits three nitrogenous wastes that are routinely found in urine

3. list thre substances that are absent from the filtrate AND urine of healthy people

back 14

1. 1.0 - 1.8 Litres

2. urea, creatinine, uric acid.

3. blood, protein, bile.

front 15

2. penis

3. testis

front 19

2. bulbourethral gland

3. the temp there is slightly lower than body temperature, a requirement for producing viable sperms.

front 22

1. describe the composition of semen and name all structures contributing to its formation

back 22

1. semen is composed of sperm and seminal fluid. the sperm are produced int he testis and the seminal fluid is produced by the prostate, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral gland.

front 23

1. of what importance is the fact that seminal fluid is alkaline?

back 23

1. helps neutralise the acid environment of the female vagina, protecting the sperm, and enhancing their motility.

2. what is the function of the spongy erectile bodies seen in the male penis?

back 29

1. highly coiled seminiferous tubules; rete testis at the mediastinum of the testis.

2. the spongy erectile bodies fill with blood during sexual excitement, causing the penis to enlarge and become rigid.
