#3
Front (Question)

Testes: Paired oval glands Located outside the a- cavity : ? Degrees lower than core temperature Internally divided into -50 lobules Each lobule = 1-? Coiled sem? tubules

Back (Answer)

Abdominopelvic cavity , 3 degrees 250 lobules 1-4 lobules , seminiferous tubules

#4
Front (Question)

Seminiferous tubules: What are the 3 cells inside the seminiferous tubules? 1. Sp? cells : produce s? • Su? sertoli cells : support spermatogenesis, supply nourishment, remove excess c?, blood testes barrier (prevents — penetration) • Int? leydig cells : secrete t?

Back (Answer)

• Spermatogenic cells, sperm • Sustentacular cells , nourishment, cytoplasm, white blood cells • Interstitial , testosterone

#5
Front (Question)

Epididymis and ductus vas deferens ducts: Epididymis: Coiled duct Involved in maturation of s? S? Storage Removes damaged s? Ductus vas deferens: 45 cm long Ascends into p? Cavity Transports sperm to u?

Back (Answer)

Sperm Sperm Sperm Pelvic Urethra

Front (Question)

The ovaries The ovaries = female g? Paired organs Produce female g? Secondary o? Produce e? And p? Ovaries cortex- ovarian f? Ovaries medulla- blood vessels/ ly?And n?

Back (Answer)

Gonads Gametes , oocytes Estrogen , progesterone Ovarian follicles Lymphatic and nerves

Front (Question)

Ovarian follicles: Consist of o? Cells nourish o? And secrete oestrogen Mature Graafian follicle = fluid cell r? Expels s? Oocyte Corpus lutem (?)= follicle after discharging s? O? Then disintegrates = corpus albicans (?)

Back (Answer)

Oocytes Oocytes Ruptures , secondary oocyte Yellow body , secondary oocyte White body

#12
Front (Question)

Follicular development: Formation female g? = o? Millions of oocytes produced in fetal development Degenerate over time : remaining develop into p? Oocytes –,000 at puberty -00 mature and ovulate during life cycle
