Document Summary

Sac of skin and fascia derived from anterior abdominal wall outside of the abdominopelvic cavity. Keeps the testes from body temperature; homologous to labia majora in female. Wall of scrotum is composed of external layer of skin, thin layer of superficial fascia immediately internal to the skin, and a layer of smooth muscle: dartos muscle: Located in the skin of the scrotum. When testes are exposed to elevated temperatures, muscle relaxes, which unwrinkles the skin of the scrotum and allows the testes to move further away from the body. Responsible for the rugose nature of the sac. Relaxes to allow the testes to move inferiorly away from the body. Oval shaped glands 4-5 cm long, 2. 5-3 cm in diameter. Outer parietal layer and an inner visceral layer that are separated by serous fluid. Fibrous coat or capsule lies deep to the visceral layer of the tunica vaginalis.

CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY!!! Review your Lecture note packet on the Male Reproductive Anatomy. Read the following statements - and select all statements that are FALSE (hint: there are 4 FALSE answers in this question!)

		Testes - The 2 major functions of the testes are the produce spermatozoa and produce androgen hormones (testosterone)
		Testes - The nurse cells or sustentacular cells produce testosterone
		Epididymis - The epididymis has 3 regions - a head, body and a tail.
		Ductus (vas) Deferens - The extended portion of the ductus (vas) deferens as it nears the prostate gland is called the spermatic cord.
		Ejaculatory Duct - the ejaculatory duct passes through the prostate gland.
		Male Reproductive Glands - The prostate gland produces the majority of the volume of semen fluid.
		Male Reproductive Glands - The seminal vesicle produces fluids that help nourish the sperm, stimulates smooth muscle contraction and forms a temporary clost in the female's vagina.
		Male Reproductive Glands - The bulbourethral glands secrete a thick, alkaline mucus that helps neutralize any urinary acids that may harm the spermatozoa.
		Spermatozoa - The middle piece of the spermatozoa contains mitochondria and geneteic material in it.
		Spermatozoa - The head of the spermatozoa contains an acrosomal cap that contains enzymes that help during fertilization.
