WCJC Biology 2402 Rev 082110 PAGE 24 Biology 2402 The Reproductive System Purpose: This lab will identify the organs of the male and female reproductive system and examine the histology of the gonads. I. Anatomy of the Reproductive System A. Identify the structures of the male reproductive system (models) B. Identify the structures of the female reproductive system (models) II. Microscopic Anatomy A. Identify selected structures of the testis (slide) B. Identify selected structures of the ovary (slide and models) C. Identify the layers of the uterus (models) In addition to the general goals above, specific anatomical structures that the student must be able to identify are listed below. A few select structures may be added to the list at the discretion of the instructor.The Reproductive System Description PageMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMScrotum155Testis155-156Epididymis155-156Spermatic Cord156vas/ductus deferens pampiniform plexus --testicular artery cremaster muscleAccessory Sex Glands155seminal vesiclesprostate glandbulbourethral (Cowper's) glandUrethra148, 155prostatic urethramembranous urethraspongy (penile) urethraPenis148, 155corpus cavernosumcorpus spongiosumglans penisOther Structures:155inguinal canal --ejaculatory ducturinary bladder external urethral orificeurogenital (U-G) diaphragmSlide-cross section of testis156seminiferous tubuleinterstitial/Leydig cellsspermatogoniaspermatozoaWCJC Biology 2402 Rev 082210 PAGE 25The Reproductive System Description PageFEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMOvary159A. primary folliceB. secondary folliceC.
