During ejaculation sperm travel in the follwoing order 1-seminferous tubles-ductus (vas) deferns-urethra 2-seminferous tubles-urethra-prostate-urethra 3-ductus(vas) deferens- urethra- seminiferous tubles 4-epididymis-ductus (vas) deferens-urethra

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?

Given these glands: I. Prostate gland; II. Bulbourethral gland; III. seminal vesicle                                               Choose the arrangement that is in the order that a sperm cell would encounter their secretions. II, III, I III, I, II II, I, III I, II, III III, II, I

Place the following in order for the ovarian cycle. vesicular follicle secondary follicle primary follicle popping to release the ovum

Trace the path of sperm cells from their site of formation to the outside. Indicate composition and when and where secretions are added to produce semen.

Trace the flow of sperm from formation to eventual release from a male cat.  Use number 1 as the point of origin

During the menstrual cycle, the DEGRADATION of the corpus luteum causes what?    1. The decrease of progesterone levels and menses (period)   2. The decrease of estrogen levels and thickening of the endometrium   3. The decrease of progesterone levels and thickening of the endometrium   4. The decrease of estrogen levels and increase of progesterone levels

One of the common unfortunate consequences of a vasectomy is that the proximal ends of the ductus deferens rupture and spermatozoa are exposed to the immune system. The person with the testes then produces antibodies against their own sperm. This has consequences for the effectiveness of a vasectomy reversal.   In the situation described above, why are the spermatozoa considered foreign even though they are being produced within the person’s own seminiferous tubules? This immune response is not normal, and so describe how the testes’ structure prevents this immune reaction from occurring.
