Document Summary
26. 1: male reproductive structures are gonads, accessory organs, and external genitalia. List the accessory organs of the male reproductive system. Ductus deferens conducts sperm between epididymis & prostate gland. Seminal gland secretes fluid that makes up much of the volume of semen. Bulbourethral gland secretes fluids that lubricate the tip of the penis. Urethra conducts semen to the exterior. Identify the structures of the male external genitalia. Penis contains erectile tissue, deposits sperm in the vagina of female, and produces pleasurable sensations during sexual activities. 26. 2: the coiled seminiferous tubules of the testes are connected to the male reproductive tract. Testes form during fetal development inside the body, adjacent to the kidneys. As fetus grows, connective tissue bands connected to developing testes do not grow. The relative position of testes changes as body grows. Late in fetal development, hormones cause the connective tissue bands to contract and pull each testis through the abdominal musculature and into the scrotum.
