  3. Spermatogenesis • Seminiferous tubules • Sertoli cells: androgen binding protein blood testes barrier etc. • Leydig cells testosterone vs. DHT

  4. The ampulla, fimbriae, and infundibulum are anatomical features of the • Uterus • Cervix • Vagina • Fallopian tubes

  5. The epithelium cells that produce sperm cells are located in the testes within the • Seminiferous tubules • Vas deferens • Corpus spongiosum • Ampulla • Prostate Gland

  6. The chromosomes of a sperm cell are contained • Within the flagellum • Packed in the head of the cell • Within the acrosome of the cell • In the neck of the sperm cell

  7. Secretions of the seminal vesicle • Are alkaline • Pass into the testes • Are acidic • Contain sperm cells

  8. On average the process of ovulation occurs every • 2-3 days • 14-15 days • 28-30 days • 8-9 months
