Study Notes
Reproductive System Pretest - Study Notes
-
Reproductive System Components: The reproductive system includes the gonads (testes or ovaries), ducts for transporting gametes, and accessory glands that secrete fluids.
-
Gamete Transport: Ducts within the reproductive system receive and transport gametes (sperm or ova).
-
Accessory Glands: Accessory glands and organs secrete fluids that support reproductive processes.
-
Seminiferous Tubules and Rete Testis: Straight tubules originate from seminiferous tubules and form a maze-like system called the rete testis for sperm production.
-
Spermatic Cord: A bundle of tissue (spermatic cord) contains the ductus deferens, blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics serving the testes
-
Sperm Production Location: Sperm production happens in the seminiferous tubules.
-
Sperm Maturation Site: Sperm maturation and damage repair occur in the epididymis.
-
Sperm Transport Organ: The ductus deferens carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
-
Fluid Composition Adjustment: Seminal glands (seminal vesicles) monitor and adjust the composition of tubular fluid.
-
Secretions for Sperm Nourishment: The seminal glands release fructose-rich fluid to nourish sperm.
-
Prostate Gland Function: The prostate gland is responsible for the composition of tubular fluid, recycling damaged sperm and maturation,
-
Ejaculatory Duct: Sperm travels through the ejaculatory duct before passing into the urethra.
-
Organs of Male Reproductive Tract Order: Sperm pass through the epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, and then urethra.
-
Urethra in Male Anatomy: The urethra functions as both a urinary and reproductive pathway in men.
-
Erectile Tissue: The corpus spongiosum is the erectile tissue surrounding the urethra in the penis.
-
Prepuce: The prepuce is the fold of skin covering the glans penis.
-
Female Reproductive Tract Structure: Uterine tubes transport ova to the uterus. Vagina is a muscular tube extending between the uterus and the external genitalia.
-
Hormone Production: Different organs in the reproductive system produce hormones critical for various reproductive functions.
