Reproductive System Anatomy

• Erection results from the contraction of two erector muscles.
• Gametes are haploid cells, not diploid.
• The ovarian ligament attaches to the uterus.
• The urethra runs inside the male corpus spongiosum.
• Womb endometrium covers the inner surface of the uterus.
• The flagellum of spermatozoa propels it, aiding in locomotion.
• Cruz of the clitoris is an anchoring system of clitoris and the attachment of clitoris to the symphysis pubis.
• Interstitial (Leydig) cells promote masculinity.
• The inguinal canals allow the spermatic cords to enter the abdominal cavity.
• Normal myometrium has layers of strong involuntary smooth muscle.
• Sertoli cells create the hematospermatic barrier and prevent blood from contacting sperm.
• Starting from one spermatogonium, four spermatozoa are obtained.
• Anatomically, the clitoris is superior to the urinary meatus.

Perineum

• Extends from the iliac bone to the coccyx.
• It is theoretically divided into two triangles.

Testes

• Each lobule contains interstitial cells and seminiferous ducts.

• The rete testis is formed by the union of seminiferous ducts.

• Episiorrhaphy is performed to repair lacerations of the perineum.

• The ductus deferens extends from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles.

• The tunica albuginea covers the testes, not the prostate.

• The lumen of the vagina is covered by stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium.

• Estrogens are not secreted by the mons pubis during puberty.

• Adenohypophysis produces prolactin, and the neurohypophysis releases oxytocin.

Seminal Vesicles

• Secrete alkaline fluid rich in fructose.

• Are anterolateral to the bladder.

• During the first month of pregnancy, the corpus luteum produces the necessary progesterone.

• One ovarian follicle contains one gamete.

• The isthmus is not the designated place for implantation of zygotes.

• The ovary is partially surrounded by fimbriae during ovulation.
