FMST 316 FINAL STUDY GUIDE
testicles (3) - Answers -- 2 testes
- produces hormones and sperm
- analogous to ovaries
cremaster muscle function (3) - Answers -- contracts and release to regulate
temperature (just below body temperature)
- contracts when sexually aroused in anticipation of ejaculation
- brings testes up during fight or flight (high adrenaline)
epididymis (2) - Answers -- c shaped structure with head, body and tail that covers
testis
- where immature sperm from tubules mature and are stored
scrotum - Answers -pouch of skin that holds the testes and epididymis in scrotal sac
seminiferous tubules (3) - Answers -- long, thin, coiled tubes in testes responsible for
sperm production and storage
- spermatogenesis occurs after onset of puberty which decreases with age
- interstitial cells located between tubules that produce androgens to secrete into
bloodstream
ejaculate and its path (2) - Answers -sperm mixed with prostate and seminal vesicle
fluid (70%)
seminiferous tubules > epididymis > vas deferens > prostate > exits through urethra
priapism and what causes it (2) - Answers -persistent and painful erection that lasts for
hours due to spongy tissue holding onto blood for too long = stretched tissue
caused by circulatory disorder, drugs or hypertension
Peyronie's disease - Answers -curvature of penis due to build up of scar tissue/calcium
deposits in spongy tissue = blockage of blood and pain
clitoral sensitivity - Answers -same number of nerve endings as penis but more
sensitive because they are concentrated in a small region
the vagina and its functions (4) - Answers -- 10-14 cm long with few nerve endings
- for intercourse and acts as canal for blood and birth
- angled towards back with walls lined together, potential space that you put something
there
, - secretes fluids to clean vagina and keep bacteria out as well as for lubrication when
aroused
primary amenorrhea - Answers -no period before age 15
secondary amenorrhea - Answers -absence of period for 3+ months in women who
menstruate
endometriosis - Answers -part of uterine lining breaks away, travelling down fallopian
tube into abdominal cavity where it binds and grows outside the uterus causing severe
cramps and pain
ectopic pregnancy - Answers -fertilized egg implants somewhere other than uterus
(typically fallopian tube)
attitudes about STBBI's - Answers -many people hold negative attitudes about STBBI's
(ex. they are slutty) due to morality and purity (if you were more moral you wouldn't get
them)
outcomes of people with negative attitudes about STBBI's (4) - Answers -poor decision
makers regarding sex and are less likely to:
- have conversations of mutual risks of STBBI's (think its a waste of time because they
won't get it)
- use a condom
- get tested
high risk groups (WSM) for STBBI's (3) - Answers -- vaginal tissue is fragile and can
tear microscopically, allowing for fluids and STBBI's to enter blood stream during sexual
activity
- women exposed to more fluids and for longer periods of times (ex. semen stays in
vagina) leading to increased risk of STBBI's
- women more likely to be asymptomatic of STBBI's
"that guy" (5) - Answers -- hyper masculine, supports male dominance and lacks
impulse control due to self importance and entitlement
- objectify women
- believe rape myths
- high levels of alcohol use
- peer acceptance of above behaviours
- usually in frats, uni/pro sports teams and military
victim precipitation theory - Answers -"victim blaming" suggesting that characteristics
about the victim make them more vulnerable and susceptible to sexual assault
evolutionary theory (3) - Answers -men and women have different reproductive
strategies:
