Question
Chapter 26.4, Problem 11CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
Answer each of the following questions:
1. The names of the glandular accessory organs and their location in the figure.
2. The gland that primarily produces mucus.
3. The gland that produces the largest fraction of the volume of semen.
4. The gland that is located at the junction of the ejaculatory duct and the urethra.
Introduction:
The male reproductive system is responsible for the formation of sperms, and helps them to deliver into the female reproductive tract. The male accessory glands produce the sperm, which is mixed with semen that contains chemicals for protection.

For each of the following questions, name the glandular accessory organ and identify its location in the figure below: Which gland produces primarily mucus? Which gland produces the largest fraction of semen volume? Which gland is located at the junction of the ejaculatory duct and urethra?
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.
Which structure on the female is homologus to the male scrotum?

- What do each of three male accessory glands contribute to semen? (Subject: Human physiology)arrow_forwardMumps is a viral infection. The primary symptom of mumps is visible swelling of the parotid gland on either side of the face. However, the virus can also infiltrate the male reproductive system, causing the testes to atrophy. Some effects include oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm movement). Research treatment options for reduced sperm movement.
