Students have asked these similar questions
why doesn't sperm enter the urinary bladder during ejaculation?
A) construction of smooth muscle of the corpus spongiosum closes the urethra.
b)Urination is a parasympathetic reflex while ejaculation is a sympathetic reflex
c) there are no common duct between the reproductive system and the urinary system
E) there is no urge to urinate during sexual intercourse between the supression of LH by testosterone build up

- Identify the organ responsible for the following functions. 1.) Where sperms are produced. 2.) Where sperms are temporarily stored. 3.) Supports the testis and epididymis 4.) Where the sperm passes through from the testis before it joins the urethra. 5.) Passageway of both sperm and urine. 6.) Secretes fluid that forms part of the semen; gives the semen its alkaline characteristics to counteract the acidity og the vaginal tract; Contains sugars like fructose 7.) Secretes fluid that also provides alkalinity to the semen; Contains proteilytic enzymes, citric acid, phosphates, and lipids. 8.) Paired goands that produce clear, viscous secretion (pre-ejaculate) that helps to lunricate the urethra for sperm to pass through, neutralizing traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter.arrow_forwardWhich branch of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for penile erection?

Select one: A) Follicles are located in the ovarian cortex, which has a rich supply of blood vessels and nerve fibres. B) The female gonads secrete progesterone, estrogen, and oxytocin.
