Example Question #61 : Organs
Which of the following is not a part of the spermatic cord?
Ductus deferens
Pampiniform plexus
Ureter
Testicular artery
Ureter
The spermatic cord is formed by the vas deferens and surrounding tissue, it runs from the deep inguinal ring to each testicle. The spermatic cord contains the testicular artery, deferential artery, the cremasteric artery, the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve, and the testicular nerves. The spermatic cord also contains the ductus (aka vas) deferens, the pampiniform plexus, and lympathic vessels. The spermatic cord is covered by the tunica vaginalis, which is a remnant of the process vaginalis (an embryonic developmental extension of the peritoneum that passed through the transversalis fascia).
The ureter is not part of the spermatic cord.
Example Question #71 : Organs
Which of these is not part of the male reproductive system?
Bulbourethral glands
Prostate
Vestibule
Ductus deferens
Vestibule
The prostate gland and bulbourethral glands are glands of the male reproductive system which contribute secretions to seminal fluid. The ductus, or vas, deferens is a duct of the male reproductive system which opens into the urethra. The vestibule, however, is a part of the female reproductive system. It is an entrance of the vagina between the labia minora and has the hymen at the vaginal orifice.
Example Question #72 : Organs
Which organ provides a normal site of fertilization?
Ovary
Vagina
Uterus
Fallopian tube
Fallopian tube
Normal fertilization occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube (the wider region). The ovaries produce oocytes (eggs), one of which is released per month to be fertilized. If the egg is fertilized, it then travels to and embeds in the uterus, where it develops as a fetus. The vagina receives the penis and semen during sexual intercourse and later provides a passage for delivery of an infant.
