Human Anatomy Quiz: Urethritis and Reproductive System

Urethritis

• Characterized by frequent ursation, strong urge to urinate, burning sensation during urination, and discharge.

Perineum (Female)

• Refers to the area between the vaginal opening and the anus.

Parous Introitus

• Describes the state of the hymen following childbirth.

Laparoscopy

• A medical procedure involving insertion of a long narrow tube through an incision in the navel for visual inspection of the pelvic cavity.

Ejaculation Order

• The sequence includes arousal, emission, expulsion, and refractory phase.

Retrograde Ejaculation

• Defined as ejaculation where semen enters the bladder instead of exiting through the penis.

Male Anatomical Structures Corresponding to Female

• Includes testis, Cooper's gland, glans penis, scrotum, body of the penis, and labia minora.

Female Anatomical Structures Corresponding to Male

• Comprises ovary, Bartholin's gland, clitoris, labia majora, clitoral shaft, and labia minora.

Corpora Cavernosa

• Cylindrical spongy tissue within the penis that fills with blood during sexual arousal, causing an erection.

Corpus Spongiosum

• The spongy tissue that runs along the bottom of the penis, containing the penile urethra and expands to form the glans.

Corona (Male)

• A ridge that separates the glans of the penis from its body.

Frenulum (Male)

• A sensitive strip of tissue connecting the underside of the glans penis to the shaft.

Root (Male)

• The base of the penis, extending into the pelvis, situated above the shaft.

Shaft (Male)

• The main body of the penis that increases in size due to vascular congestion during arousal.

Vas Deferens (Male)

• The duct that carries sperm from the testicle to the ejaculatory duct.

Scrotum (Male)

• A pouch of loose skin that houses the testes to regulate temperature.

Spermatic Cord (Male)

• Supports a testicle within the scrotum, containing the vas deferens, blood vessels, nerves, and the cremaster muscle.

Dartos Muscle

• Muscle layer in the scrotum that adjusts the position of the testes in response to temperature changes.

Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT)

• A process of implanting a lab-fertilized egg into a Fallopian tube.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

• A condition resulting in genetic females having internal female structures but masculinized external genitalia.

Ovaries

• Female reproductive organs responsible for the production of ova (eggs).

Bartholin's Glands

• Secrete mucus for vaginal lubrication and are homologous to male bulbourethral glands.

Clitoris

• An organ dedicated solely for sexual pleasure and arousal.

Labia Majora

• Larger outer folds of the vulva, referred to as the outer lips.

Clitoral Shaft

• Composed of two corpora cavernosa and a corpus spongiosum; makes up the body of the clitoris.

Labia Minora

• Two small, thin folds of skin that lie within the labia majora and flank the vaginal opening.

Vestibule (Female)

• The entrance to the vagina, providing access to the internal reproductive tract.
