Study Notes
Reproductive System Basics
- The primary sex organs are called gonads, which produce gametes (sex cells).
- The function of gonads is to produce gametes and sex hormones.
Male Reproductive System
- Male gametes are called sperm.
- The testes are the primary sex organs in males, producing sperm.
- The epididymis is a tube-like structure where sperm matures and is stored.
- The main function of the epididymis is to store and mature sperm.
- The ductus deferens (vas deferens) is a muscular tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
- The function of the ductus deferens is to transport sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
- The seminal vesicles are accessory organs that secrete a fluid that contributes to semen.
- The seminal vesicles are located near the base of the bladder.
- The bulbourethral glands are accessory organs that secrete a milky fluid to help activate sperm.
- The bulbourethral glands are located near the base of the penis.
- The urethra is a tube that carries semen and urine out of the body.
- Sperm travels through the seminiferous tubules to reach the epididymis.
- The seminiferous tubules are the structures where sperm is produced.
- The tunica albuginea is the capsule that surrounds each testis.
- Septa extend into the testis, dividing it into lobules.
- The epididymis is a tube-like structure with a coiled shape.
Female Reproductive System
- The primary sex organ in females is the ovaries.
- Ovaries produce egg cells (ova).
