Where is the copulatory Canal?
What is the copulatory canal known as? The vagina.
What transports both urine and sperm?
Urethra
Urethra — this is a tube that extends from the bladder to the external opening at the end of the penis. The urethra carries both urine and sperm. Seminal vesicles — these are 2 small glands above the prostate gland that make up much of the fluid in semen.
What is the duct conveying sperm to the ejaculatory duct in the spermatic cord?
Each ductus deferens, at the ampulla, joins the duct from the adjacent seminal vesicle (one of the accessory glands) to form a short ejaculatory duct. Each ejaculatory duct passes through the prostate gland and empties into the urethra.
How can sperm end up in the pelvic cavity of the female?
The testes are where sperm are manufactured in the scrotum. When ejaculation occurs, sperm is forcefully expelled from the tail of the epididymis into the deferent duct. Sperm then travels through the deferent duct through up the spermatic cord into the pelvic cavity, over the ureter to the prostate behind the bladder.
What are fingerlike projections of the uterine tubes called?
The fimbriae of the uterine tube, also known as fimbriae tubae, are small, fingerlike projections at the end of the fallopian tubes, through which eggs move from the ovaries to the uterus. The fimbriae are connected to the ovary.
Which of the following tubes conveys sperm from the seminal vesicle to the urethra?
The vas deferens. This is the tube which carries the sperm from the epididymis. It may also be called the sperm duct. It meets a tube from the seminal vesicle (see below) to form a short tube called the ejaculatory duct. This then opens into the urethra, which is the tube that takes the sperm outside the body.
What is the function of copulatory organ?
Copulatory organ. An organ utilized by the male animal for insemination, that is, to deposit spermatozoa directly into the female reproductive tract. Various types of copulatory organs are found among the vertebrates, whereas cloacal apposition occurs in most other vertebrates which lack these structures.
What is the difference between copulatory organs and cloacal apposition?
An organ utilized by the male animal for insemination, that is, to deposit spermatozoa directly into the female reproductive tract. Various types of copulatory organs are found among the vertebrates, whereas cloacal apposition occurs in most other vertebrates which lack these structures.
Is the cloaca a copulatory organ in amphibians?
Copulatory organs are lacking in amphibians, even in those in which internal fertilization occurs. Among caecelians, the cloaca of the male is muscular and protrusible; however, it is questionable that this structure is a true copulatory organ.
