Gross Anatomy of the Human Male and Female Reproductive System a) What is the function of the stereocilia exhibited by the epithelial cells of the mucosa of the epididymis? b) Hysterectomy is a surgical removal of the uterus. It may or may not be accompanied by a salpingo-oophorectomy, removal of the uterine tubes and ovaries. Why would it be an advantage to leave the ovaries intact? c) What is the function of the cavernous bodies in the penis?

Identify and give a function of the endometrium.             Identify and give the function of the myometrium.             What type of epithelium lines the vagina?             Where does fertilization occur?           Which structure on the female is homologus to the male scrotum?           How are male and female urethras similar and different? What might the clinical significance in the differences.

After learning about the reproductive systems, how would advise a couple with following concern: "If we do not want a baby for next two years, how can we calculate the safe sex period?" She shares that her cycle is regular but not standard 28 days long cycle (so the standard explanation form different sources won't work unless you think critically)! At what time of the female cycle is she most likely to prevent fertilization of her ovulated egg? Consider the fact that her cycle is not 28 days but longer or shorter (you pick). Do males have any time (in their cycle- if any) when their gametes would not be able to fertilize the egg? In other words when can intercourse lead to least chance of pregnancy? Feel free to check with your older friends, doctors, nurses, or anyone who you feel comfortable talking about this.
