Term
Give the correct term: A pair of exocrine glands near the male urethra. They secrete fluid into the urethra.
Definition
bulbourethral glands (Also called Cowper glands)
Term
Give the correct term: Ejection of sperm and fluid from the male urethra.
Definition
ejaculation
Term
Give the correct term: Tube through which semen enters the male urethra.
Definition
ejaculatory duct
Term
Give the correct term: One of a pair of long, tightly coiled tubes on top of each testis. It carries sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the vas deferens.
Definition
epididymis (plural: epididymides)
Term
Give the correct term: Inability of an adult male to achieve an erection; impotence
Definition
erectile dysfunction
Term
Give the correct term: Hair-like projection on a sperm cell that makes it motile (able to move)
Definition
flagellum
Term
Give the correct term: Two infants born of the same pregnancy from two separate egg cells fertilized by two different sperm cells.
Definition
fraternal twins
Term
Give the correct term: Sensitive tip of the penis
Definition
glans penis
Term
Give the correct term: Two infants resulting from division of one fertilized egg into two distinct embryos.
Definition
Identical twins
Term
Give the correct term: The essential distinctive cells of an organ.
Definition
parenchyma (in the testis, the seminiferous tubules that produce sperm are the parenchymal tissues).
Term
Give the correct term: Male external organ of reproduction.
Definition
penis
Term
Give the correct term: External region between the anus and scrotum in the male.
Definition
perineum
Term
Give the correct term: Foreskin; fold of skin covering the tip of the penis.
Definition
prepuce
Term
Give the correct term: Exocrine gland at the base of the male urinary bladder.
Definition
prostate gland
Term
Give the correct term: External sac that contains the testes.
Definition
scrotum
Term
Give the correct term: Spermatozoa (sperm cells) and seminal fluid (prostatic and seminal vesicle secretions).
Definition
semen
Term
Give the correct term: Paired sac-like male exocrine glands that secrete fluid (a major component of semen) into the vas deferens.
Definition
seminal vesicles
Term
Give the correct term: Narrow, coiled tubules that produce sperm in the testes.
Definition
seminiferous tubules
Term
Give the correct term: Sperm cell
Definition
spermatozoon (plural: spermatozoa)
Term
Give the correct term: Procedure that removes an individual's ability to produce or release reproductive cells.
Definition
sterilization
Term
Give the correct term: Supportive, connective tissue of an organ, as distinguished from its parenchyma.
Definition
stroma
Term
Give the correct term: Male gonad that produces spermatozoa and the hormone testosterone.
Definition
testis (plural: testes)
Term
Give the correct term: Hormone secreted by the interstitial tissue of the testes; responsible for male sex characteristics.
Definition
testosterone
Term
Give the correct term: Narrow tube (one on each side) that carries sperm from the epididymis into the body and toward the urethra.
Definition
vas deferens. Also called ductus deferens.
Term
Give the correct term: tube above each testis; carries and stores sperm.
Definition
epididymis
Term
Give the correct term: gland surrounding the urethra at the base of the urinary bladder.

spermatozoon
Term
Give the correct term: foreskin

prepuce
Term
Give the correct term: pair of sacs; secrete fluid into ejaculatory ducts
Definition
seminal vesicles
Term
Give the correct term: sac on outside of the body enclosing the testes
Definition
scrotum; scrotal sac
Term
Give the correct term: tube carrying sperm from the epididymis toward the urethra.
Definition
vas deferens
Term
Give the correct term: pair of glands near the urethra; secrete fluid into the urethra.
Definition
bulbourethral (Cowper) glands
Term
Give the correct term: male gonad; produces hormone and sperm cells.
Definition
testis; testicle
