1845950992THE SCROTAL SEPTUM WORKS TO DIVIDE WHAT?The scrotum into two separate chambers25
1845950993DESCRIBE AND NAME THE TWO MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE CREMATOR MUSCLESkeletal Muscle (Both voluntary and involuntary) Functions: 1) Sexual arousal - skeletal contraction will work to move the testis closer to the body, skeletal relaxation with suspend the testis at the lowest possible point away from the testis (Important because this would actively decrease the distance the sperm would have to travel 2) Temperature fluctuations - Sperm thrive in 2 degree Celsius around body temperature. The muscle regulates temperature by shortening (Increases temp or temperature retention ) the testis or lengthening (Decreases temps) the testis26
1845950994STRUCTURES IN THE SPERMATIC CORD ALL FAVOR SPERM PRODUCTION BE REGULATING ________.Heat27
1845950995WHICH PLEXUS IS PART OF THE TESTICULAR VEIN AND SURROUNDS THE TESTICULAR ARTERY IN A COMPLEX NETWORK?Pampiniform Plexus, otherwise known as the "heat sink" ^Something that draws away heat from an object28
1845950996WHY DOES THE PAMPINIFORM PLEXUS SURROUND THE TESTICULAR ARTERY?Surrounds the artery so that if there is too much heat in the testis region, the pampiniform plexus will draw blood (a good conductor of heat) away from the testes, drawing away HEAT.29
1845950997THE TESTES IS COVERED BY BOTH A ________ LAYER AND ________ LAYER OF TUNICA VAGINALISVisceral, Parietal30
1845950998IN BETWEEN THE VISCERAL AND PARIETAL TUNICA VAGINALIS IS KNOWN AS WHAT? WHAT DOES IS PRODUCE?Scrotal cavity which holds the serous fluid (Doesn't allow the testes to rub against a structure and suffer easy abrasion)31

1845951005NAME THE TWO INGUINAL CANAL RINGSRings in the inguinal canal are perforations of that muscle and usually cannot be seen Deep inguinal ring: Pierces the beginning of the abdominal wall Superficial inguinal ring: Only thing you can see on a cadaver38
1845951006DESCENT OF THE TESTES: DESCRIBE THE GUBERNACULUM TESTISA connective tissue that attaches the testis and scrotum together. Inside the womb at two months that testes are inside the abdomen. 4-7 months this tissue will begin to pull down the testis into the scrotum down the abdominal musculature: causing the spermatic cord to form. Never once changing in size!39
1845951007THE EXTERNAL OBLIQUE EXTERNAL SPERMATIC FASCIA IS?Connective tissue that surrounds all structures in the scrotum40
1845951008DESCENT OF THE TESTES SUBCUTANEOUS ABDOMINAL TISSUE -> INTERNAL OBLIQUE ->SUBCUTANEOUS ABDOMINAL TISSUE -> The Dartos Muscle INTERNAL OBLIQUE -> The Cremator Muscle41
1845951009THE SKIN THAT MAKES UP THE ABDOMEN THAT IS DRAGGED DOWN BECOMES?The scrotal skin42
1845951010DESCRIBE ABDOMINAL HERNIASThe intestine will come out of some sort of weakening in the abdominal wall. Most common in males! Why? Males have weakened abdominal areas in the abdominal wall (Inguinal canal because of spermatic cord piercing) where the intestine can pass43
1845951011TWO TYPES OF INGUINAL HERNIASIndirect: A person is born with this. Cause because the inguinal ring will not full close and the intestine will go through the inguinal canal Direct: Usually with older men due to intense strain. Intestine goes through abdomen and exits through the superficial ring.44
1845951012THE TESTES: NAME THE DUCTS THAT CARRY SPERM BETWEEN THE TESTIS AND THE EPIDYDIMISEfferent ductules45
1845951013THE TESTES: LABLE THE PARTS OF THE SCROTUM AND TESTES FROM EXTERNAL TO INTERNALScrotum (Skin > Dartos Muscle > Superficial scrotal fascia) > Cremater Muscle > Tunica Vaginalis (Parietal > Scrotal Cavity > Visceral) > Testis46
1845951014DESCRIBE THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE TESTESThe testis contain different LOBULES separated by the septum: SEPTA. Each lobule contains these bunched up SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES which can stretch half a mile long for each testis. These tubules are the producers of sperm. The sperm produced will collect into the RETE TESTIS network in the MEDIASTINUM OF TESTES. This is located in the superior portion of the testis. Functions to pull all the sperm from each of the tubules and collect it though the rete testis. The sperm are then drained through the EFFERENT DUCTULES into the epididymis.47
1845951015FOR EVERY UNDIFFERENTIATED SEX CELL HOW MANY SPERM WILL BE PRODUCED? HOW DOES THIS CONTRAST WITH FEMALES?FOUR FUNCTIONAL SPERM Females only produce one mature haploid gamete48
1845951016HAPLOID DEFINITIONHalf the # of chromosomes49
1845951017SPERMATOGENESIS DEFINITIONProduction of sperm50
1845951018THE EPIDIDYMID IS THEStorage unit for sperm51
1845951019CAPACITATIONProcess where sperm is made functionally mature 1) MOTILITY - In the reproductive tract - During Ejaculation 2) Capable of Fertilizing - Not Capable of this until the sperm come in contact with the acidity in the Vagina (Substances in the Vagina are necessary to complete Capacitation)52
1845951020PARTS TO A SPERMFlagellum: (Tail - only example of this in the human body) Acrosomal cap: (Membrane that protects the nucleus in the head) Head: Contains the nucleus (Chromosomes)53
1845951021EMISSION:Contractions in smooth muscle of vas deferens, seminal glands, prostate Sympathetic nerve control! (Part of the Autonomic NS: Involuntary)54
1845951022THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT CAN BE DESCRIBED ASA series of hollow tubes responsible for the transportation of sperm (pushing sperm outside of the body) Tube: Made of Smooth muscle55
1845951023SPERM PATHWAYCoiled seminiferous tubules will lead sperm in straight tubules which will exit into the Rete testis in the mediastinum. From there the sperm will empty into the Head of the Epididymis through Efferent ductules. Eventually will travel to the tail of the epididymis, ready for ejaculation: Vas deferens travels through the Inguinal canal to get to the abdomen where it travels behind the Bladder to connect Excretory Duct into the Ejaculatory Duct and into the Urethra.56
1845951024What differentiates the Epididymis from the Vas Deferens?The vas deferens is not coiled like the epididymis. Because it needs to get its substance through fast!57
1845951025Describe the Epididymishuge one continuous coiled tube (storage unit for a ton of sperm!) Takes about two weeks for sperm to travel through the Epididymis (This is a constant process) Three parts: Head of Epididymis: Pulls sperm away from the testis Body of Epididymis Tail of Epididymis: Sperm will eventually go here (at the bottom) ready for ejaculation.58
1845951026Difference between Vas Deferens and Ureter.Ureters go into the bladder. The Vas deferens goes behind the bladder to connect directly to the Ejaculatory duct.59
1845951027ROLE OF ACCESSORY GLANDS1) Activate sperm motility -secrete fluids that allow sperm to swim Provide nutrients -necessary for continued motility & life of sperm (to the egg) Produce protecting (chemical) buffers -counteract acidity of male urethra & vaginal contents (disadvantageous environment) a - Eliminates uric acid in the urethra b - Counteractive to acidity in vaginal environment60
1845951028Name the three male accessory glands:1) Seminal Vesicle/ Gland (Secretes fluid) 2) Prostate Gland 3) Bulbo-urethral gland (Underneath the prostate)61
1845951029Functions of the male accessory glands1) Initiate sperm motility (Release Seminal Fluid which contains fructose, a sugar that will give energy and nutrients to the sperm. 2)Secretes a milky white substance (Alkaline - Combats acidity) 3)Secretes the sticky substance well before ejaculation (During male sexual arousal - serves to neutralize uric acid in the urethra. Also helps lubricate the tip of the penis62
1845951030Ejaculatory duct orificeThe only point you will get sperm into the urethra63
1845951031Prostatic UrethraFirst part of the Urethra: Located in the Prostate64
1845951032Membranous urethraPart of the Urethra that passes through the Urogenital Diaphragm65
1845951033Spongy urethraNamed from the erectile tissue (Part of the penis)66

1845951044ERECTILE TISSUEVascular channels separated by elastic connective tissue & smooth muscle Chambers fill with blood during erection77
1845951045Behavior of the Corpus spongiosum and cavernosa during an erect penisThe cavernosa expands while the spongiosum enlarges very little. (It cannot enlarge too much because would pinch the urethra shut.78
1845951046MALE ERECTIONTriggered by parasympathetic nervous system (Involuntary) Nerves will trigger -> Vasodilation -Corpora cavernosa (and to lesser extent corpus spongiosum) engorge with blood Ischiocavernosus & Bulbospongiosus contractions compress veins in the penis & prevent return of blood to the heart (until it needs to get oxygenated.)79
1845951047Mammary GlandsSpecialized Accessory Organs (Modified Sweat Glands) for Lactation These are working and functional (Unlike men)80

1845951084Round ligament of UterusPrevents posterior Movement! by pulling from the front of the uterus. Goes from the fundus of the uterus through the INGUINAL CANAL and attaches to the labia majora117
1845951085FUNCTIONS OF THE VAGINAPassageway for menstrual fluid expulsion Receives penis during sexual intercourse Holds sperm before it passes into the uterus Labor (expelling mature fetus) **Acidic Environment -> Keeps the vagina from getting infected by killing off foreign substances. This is a hostile environment for sperm. How do sperm avoid this? The seminal fluid + Prostate fluid (Anti-acidic chemicals) Full capacitation: Breaks down the membrane on the head so that the nucleus can reach and eject in to the egg. takes away the barrier!118
1845951086OOGENISISWith each step one egg will take all of the cytoplasm. Ends up being the ovum. One undifferentiated cell -> on ovum119
1845951087Ovarian Cycle is divided into two phases:1) Follicular Phase: 1st half of the ovarian cycle. The follicle will produce estrogen. (Dominated by estrogen) 2) Luteal Phase: Follicle becomes the Corpuse luteum: Secretes progesterone (Important for the maintenance of pregnancy)120
1845951088Function of estrogen in the Ovarian CycleHelps prepare the lining of the Uterus121

357296592Lincoln's Inaugural AddressLincoln was inaugurated as President, wasn't sure whether he would use military force, assured southerners he didn't want to interfere with slavery or other southern institutions, warned no state had the right to break up the Union0
357296593Fort Sumterwar was apparent, two forts in South which were held by federal troops in Confederate lands, cut off supplies, Lincoln sent provisions there, gave SC the choice of permitting the food or opening fire, April 21 1861 war began with attack on Fort Sumter1
357296594Use of Executive PowerLincoln drew upon his powers as chief executive and commander in chief, called for 75000 volunteers to put down the "insurrection" in the South, authorized spending for the war, suspended the privilege of writ of habeas corpus, acted completely on his own, "indispensable to the public safety"2
357296595Secession of Upper Southbefore Fort Sumter only 7 states had seceded, after four more (Virginia, NC, Tennessee, Arkansas) also seceded, capital moved to Richmond, VA3
357296596Writ of Habeas Corpusa writ ordering a prisoner to be brought before a judge4
357296597West Virginiapeople here remained loyal to the union, became a separate state in 18635
357296598Border StatesDelaware, Maryland, Missouri, and Kentucky remained in the Union, partly due to Union sentiment, pro-secessionists in Maryland attacked Union troops, Union used martial law to keep order there, guerrilla forces throughout, Lincoln wanted to keep them so he avoided emancipating slaves6
357296599Southern Military Advantageshad the advantage of fighting a defensive war, had to move troops and supplies a shorter distance, had long coastline that was difficult to blockade, experienced military leaders and high troops morale7
357296600Northern Military AdvantagesNorth's population would work to its favor in a war of attrition, 800,000 immigrants enlisted in the Union cause in high numbers, African Americans enlisted, US Navy was strong8
357296601Northern Economic Advantagescontrolled most of the banking and capital of the country, 85 percent of factories, 70 percent of railroads, 65 percent of farmlands, skills of clerks and bookkeepers,9
357296602Southern Economic Advantagescotton would bring overseas demand that would bring recognition and financial aid in the war10
357296603Northern Political Advantageswell-established central government, experienced politicians with a strong popular base11
357296604Southern Political Advantagesironic because states rights was basis for secession but strong central government was needed to fight war, independence helped morale, hopefully the North would turn against Lincoln12
357296605Confederate States of Americaprovided nonsuccessive six-year term for the president and vice president, presidential item veto, constitution denied congress powers to levy tariffs or funds for internal improvements, prohibited slave trade, states' rights held back troops to protect their own states, hurt confederacy13
357296606Confederate Economic Problemsfaced a shortage of money, tried loans, income taxes, even impressment of private property, but revenues paid only a small percentage of war's costs, government forced to issue inflationary money, reduced value to less than two cents/dollar, nationalized railroads and industrial development14
357296607First Battle of Bull RunNortherners believed the war would last a few weeks, would take years to fight, 30000 federal troops marched to attack Manassas Junction, Stonewall Jackson counterattacked and sent Union troops back to Washington, battle ended illusion of short war and promoted the myth that rebels were invincible15
357296608Stonewall Jacksongeneral in the Confederate Army during the Civil War whose troops at the first Battle of Bull Run stood like a stone wall (1824-1863)16
357296609Union StrategyWinfield Scott devised a three-party strategy, Anaconda Plan would blockade southern ports and cut off essential supplies, divide the Confederacy by taking the Mississippi, raise an army of 500,000 to take Richmond, first two parts were easier17
357296610Anaconda Planuse the US navy to blockade southern ports and thereby cut off essential supplies from reaching the South18
357296611Peninsula CampaignGeorge B. McClellan insisted his troops be given long training and discipline, invaded Virginia in March 1862 after many delays, stopped by Robert. E. Lee, forced to retreat back to Potomac19
357296612George B. McClellancommander of the Union army in the East, "bad case of the slows"20
357296613Robert E. Leecommander of the South's eastern forces21
357296614General John Popereplaced McClellan after the Peninsula Campaign22
357296615Second Battle of Bull RunLee took advantage by striking back quickly, drew Pope into a trap, struck the enemy's flank, Sent Union Army backward23
357296616AntietamLee led his army into Maryland, hoped victory would result in British intervention, Lincoln had restored McClellan, found a copy of Lee's plans, single bloodiest day, Lee's army retreated, Lincoln relieved McClellan after he didn't pursue them, stopped confederates from getting the intervention24
357296617FredericksburgBurnside was reckless, large Union army attacked and suffered immense losses, 12000, improved weaponry took the romance out of heroic charges against entrenched positions, showed terrible conditions of the war25
357296618Ambrose Burnsidereckless Union general who replaced McClellan after Antietam26
357296619Monitor vs. MerrimacUnion need to utilize naval advantages, Confederate ship put Union blockade in jeopardy, Union countered with its own ironclad, five-hour duel near Hampton Roads, VA, revolutionized future naval warfare27
357296620Merrimacformer Union ship rebuilt and renamed the Virginia28
357296621Monitorironclad for the Union29
357296622Fort Henry and Fort Donelsonfrontier in Tennessee, Grant led stunning victories using gunboats and army maneuvers, took 14,000 prisoners, opened Mississippi to Union attack30
357296623ShilohAlbert Johnston surprised Grant here in Tennessee, Union held its ground and forced the Confederates to retreat31
357296624David FarragutUnion navy general who captured New Orleans in April 186232
357296625Foreign AffairsSouth hoped to secure independence using diplomats, hoped cotton would prove "king" and induce Britain and France to give aid, British looked forward to breaking up American democratic experiment33
357296626Trent AffairBritain came close to siding with Confederates, Mason and Slidell traveled to England from Confederacy to gain recognition, Union stopped British ship, removed Mason and Slidell, British threatened war unless they were released34
357296627Southern LeadersSouth purchased warships from British shipyards, commerce-raiders did serious harm to US merchant ships, Alabama captured over 60 vessels35
357296628Charles Francis AdamsUS minister to Britain, prevented a threat when he learned Confederacy had arranged to purchase Laird rams, Adams persuaded British government to cancel the sale36
357296629Failure of Cotton DiplomacyKing Cotton did not have the power to dictate England's foreign policy, Europe got cotton from other sources, Egypt and India, setback at Antietam played a role, also Emancipation Proclamation made the war about slavery, British couldn't oppose that37
357301867End of SlaveryLincoln was concerned about keeping the border states, the constitutional protections of slavery, prejudices of northerners, fear that premature action could be overturned in next election, slaves were freed as result of military events, governmental policy, and their own actions38
357301868Confiscation ActsBenjamin Butler refused to return captured slaves claiming they were "contraband of war", power to seize enemy property use to wage war against the US, thousands of slaves were using their feet to escape, freed slaves of persons engaged in rebellion, law empowered the president to use freed slaves39
357301869Benjamin Butler"contraband of war"40
357301870Emancipation ProclamationJuly 1862 Lincoln decided to use his powers to free all slaves, justify his policy by calling it a "military necessity", after Antietam he issued the warning state slaves in states in rebellion would be free, delivered his address on the first day of the new year41
357301871Consequences of the Emancipation Proclamationapplied only to states outside Union control, didn't free a single slave, slavery in border states continued, proclamation committed US government to abolition, enlarged purpose of thw war, gave added weight to Confiscation Acts, increased number of slaves who fought42
