Document Summary

Seminipherous tubules- tightly wound tubes that comprise the testicles where sperm cells are generated. Rete testes- is a collection chamber for defective sperm. Epididymis- a crescent-shaped structure on each testicle where sperm cells are stored as they mature. Average 30-200 mil sperm per ml in each ejaculation. Urinary meatus - urinary meatus is the opening of the penis. Urethra- tube that runs the length of the penis and into the body to carry semen or urine from the inside to the outside of the body. Vas defrens- tube that runs from the epididymis and eventually joins the duct of the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct. Vasectomy- the cutting or cauterization of the vas deferens so someone can"t release sperm anymore. Cuts the connection from the epidymsis to the ampulla. Vasco-vasectomy- reversal of vasectomy is often infective bc the body builds up autoantibodies which kill sperm. Mechanism ally can be reversed 100% but there will be a leakage.
