18. Prostate Gland Surrounds the _ ducts open into the urethra secretes a _ an ____________________________ secretion – _______________________________, which is acidic. – enhances the _ –

19. Bulbourethral Gland Also known as _ inferior to the prostate gland secretes a _ Released in response to sexual stimulation. –

20. Semen Consists of – Semen is slightly _

21. Capacitation protein-splitting enzymes are released from _ allow the sperm to penetrate. Fertilization is only successful if the acrosome reaction takes place at the right time, that is _

22. External Reproductive Organs ______________________________: – pouch of skin, divided in two, houses the testis and epididymis. Penis: – conveys urine and semen through the urethra

23. Penis Shaft or body of the penis is composed of _ – ________________________________ of corpora cavernosa – single _

24. Sexual Stimulation __________________________________ nerve impulse from the sacral portion of the spinal cord release _________________________________ Causes _ increased blood flow into the erectile tissues.

25. Sexual Stimulation Pressure of arterial blood _ Blood accumulates in the erectile tissues penis swells and elongates resulting in an erection.

26. Male Orgasm physiological and psychological release. – Includes emission and ejaculation Emission: – sperm cells _ – __________________________________________ secrete into the urethra. – Due to response of ________________________________________ impulses. – Stimulates peristaltic contractions in the smooth muscles. Sympathetic impulses also influence seminal vesicles and prostate gland

27. Male orgasm erectile columns of the penis _ forces the semen through the urethra to the outside. –

28. Male Orgasm After ejaculation __________________________________ constrict arteries and _ Veins of penis carry away the _

29. Male Hormones Hormones secreted by the ________________________________ control male reproductive function. GnRH – – from _ – Effects the _ – Response is for anterior pituitary to secrete _

31. Gonadotropins FSH FSH stimulates sustentacular cells of seminiferous tubule – to _

32. FSH plus Testosterone – In the presence of ____________________________________, the cells stimulate the spermatogenic cells to undergo _

33. Inhibin – Sustentacular cells also secrete a hormone called _ __________________________________ the __________________________________gland by negative feedback prevents the _

34. LH: (ICSH) ______________: stimulates sustentacular cells to grow and respond to testosterone Inhibin:
