10 Questions
What is the difference between internal and external male reproductive structures?
Internal structures are inside the body, like the testes and epididymis, while external structures, like the scrotum and penis, are located outside the body.
What is the difference between the labia minora and labia majora?
Labia minora are the inner folds of the vulva, while labia majora are the outer folds.
What is the make-up of the clitoris?
The clitoris is primarily composed of erectile tissue and nerve endings.
What are the Bartholin’s glands?
Bartholin's glands are two small glands located on each side of the vaginal opening that secrete fluid to lubricate the vagina.
Where and how many eggs are produced?
Eggs are produced in the ovaries, with one egg typically released each month during ovulation.
What are the differences between the menstrual cycle and the ovarian cycle in terms of hormonal regulation?
Menstrual cycle involves the shedding of the endometrium and is regulated by FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone. Ovarian cycle involves the maturation and release of an egg and is regulated by FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone.
List and explain the functions of two internal male reproductive structures.
Examples of internal male reproductive structures are the epididymis and vas deferens. The epididymis stores and transports sperm, while the vas deferens carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
Name three glands involved in male reproduction and their functions.
Three male reproductive glands are the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands. The seminal vesicles produce a significant portion of ejaculate, the prostate gland secretes a milky fluid to nourish sperm, and the bulbourethral glands secrete a clear lubricating fluid.
What are the phases of the human sexual response and briefly explain each phase?
The human sexual response includes excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Excitement is the initial arousal stage, plateau is a continuation of arousal, orgasm is the peak of sexual pleasure, and resolution is the return to the normal state.
Trace the path of a sperm from production in the testes to ejaculation, including all the structures involved.
Sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes, then move to the epididymis for maturation. From there, they travel through the vas deferens, merge with fluids from seminal vesicles and prostate gland, and exit the body through the urethra during ejaculation.
Test your knowledge on the internal and external female reproductive structures, including the differences between labia minora and labia majora, clitoris makeup, Bartholin’s glands, egg production sites, ovulation route, menstrual cycle versus ovarian cycle differences, and hormone levels. Explore the complexity of the female reproductive system!
