PENIS- IS THE MALE ORGAN OF SEXUAL PLEASURE, REPRODUCTION, AND URINATION

SCROTUM – IS A SAC-LIKE POUCH IN THE GROIN THAT HAS TWO BASIC FUNCTIONS: TO HOLD THE TESTES AND TO REGULATE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE TESTES

INTERNAL ANATOMYTESTES – ARE THE TWO MALE REPRODUCTIVE GLANDS INSIDE THE SCROTUM THAT SECRETE THE MALE HORMONE TESTOSTERONE AND PRODUCE SPERM.

SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES – ARE A COILED NETWORK OF TUBES THAT FILL THE SECTIONS IN EACH TESTIS. (SPERMATOGENESIS)

INTERNAL ANATOMYEPIDIDYMIS – IS A COMMA-SHAPED STRUCTURE FOUND ON THE BACK AND UPPER SURFACE OF EACH TESTIS. SPERM MATURE FOR ABOUT 2 TO 6 WEEKS IN THE EPIDIDYMIS. SPERM THEN MOVE TO THE VAS DEFERENS.

VAS DEFERENS – ARE TWO LONG, THIN CORDS THAT EXTEND FROM THE EPIDIDYMIS IN THE SCROTUM, UP THROUGH THE INGUINAL CANAL, AND INTO THE ABDOMEN.

SEMINAL VESICLES – ARE TWO SMALL GLANDS AT THE ENDS OF EACH VAS DEFERENS THAT SECRETE AN ALKANLINE FLUID RICH IN FRUCTOSE, A SUGAR NUTRIENT THAT IS A SOURCE OF ENERGY FOR SPERM

INTERNAL ANATOMYPROSTATE GLAND – IS A GLAND THAT PRODUCES AN ALKALINE FLUID THAT AIDS SPERM LONGEVITY

COWPER’S GLAND – ARE TWO SMALL PEA-SIZED GLANDS LOCATED ON EACH SIDE OF THE URETHRA AND SECRETE A LUBRICATION FLUID.

VOCABULARYERECTION – IS AN INVOLUNTARY PROCESS THAT OCCURS WHEN THE SPONGY LAYERS INSIDE THE PENIS ARE ENGORGED WITH BLOOD AND THE PENIS ELONGATES.

ORGANSM – IS AN EXPLOSIVE DISCHARGE OF NEUROMUSCULAR TENSIONS AT THE PEAK OF SEXUAL RESPONSE AND IS MARKED BY RHYTHMIC CONTRACTIONS AND A SENSE OF PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RELEASE.

EJACULATION – IS A SUDDEN EXPULSION OF SEMINAL FLUID FROM AN ERECT PENIS

FEMALE ANATOMY (EXTERIOR OR VULVA)

MONS PUBIS – IS A PAD OF FATTY TISSUE THAT COVERS THE FRONT OF THE PUBIC BONE AND SERVES AS A PROTECTIVE CUSHION FOR THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS

LABIA MAJORA – THE OUTER LIPS, OR HEAVY FOLDS OF SKIN, SURROUNDING THE OPENING OF THE VAGINA

LABIA MINORA – TWO SMALLER LIPS, OR FOLDS OF SKIN, LOCATED BETWEEN THE LABIA MAJORA. CONTAINS THE CLITORIS, URETHRA, AND VAGINA

CLITORIS – IS A SMALL, HIGHLY SENSITIVE, CYLINDRICAL BODY PROJECTING BETWEEN THE LABIA MINORA

FEMALE ANATOMY (INTERIOR)

THE OVARIES – TWO ALMOND SHAPED FEMALE SEX GLANDS THAT PRODUCE OVA AND SECRETE HORMONES

FALLOPIAN TUBE – IS A TUBE THAT EXTENDS FROM NEAR THE OVARIES TO THE UTERUS

UTERUS – THE ORGAN THAT PREPARES EACH MONTH TO RECEIVE A FERTILIZED OVUM, TO SUPPORT THE FERTILIZED OVUM DURING PREGNANCY AND TO CONTRACT DURING CHILDBIRTH TO HELP WITH DELIVERY

CERVIX – THE LOWEST PART OF THE UTERUS

VAGINA – IS A MUSCULAR PASSAGEWAY THAT LIES BETWEEN THE BLADDER AND THE RECTUM, AND IT SERVES AS THE FEMALE ORGAN OF INTERCOURSE. THE BIRTH CANAL, AND PASSAGEWAY FOR THE MENSTRAL FLOW AND THE ARRIVING SPERM
