Q1: trace the path of sperm through the female reproductive tract: urethra, human reproduction: Specialised reproductive structures and mechanisms that control the activity of these structures. Meiosis occurs in the testes = production of sperm. It matures in the epididymis and pass into the vas deferens. Secretions from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland and bulbourethral gland are added to sperm to make seminal fluid. Contains spongy tissue that can fill with blood to cause an erection called the penis: hormonal control (males): Mediated by the hypothalamus = produces gonadotropin releasing hormone. Causes the anterior pituitary gland = produces luteinizing hormone (lh) which stimulates the testes to produce testosterone. Gnrh = release of follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) = sperm production: female reproductive system: Meiosis occurs in the ovary to produce one ovum per month. During ovulation, the ovum is released from the ovary and is swept into the oviduct were it may be fertilized by a single sperm to fertilize.
