BIOL 252 Module 9 Exam: The Reproductive
System (Human Anatomy & Physiology II – Portage
Learning)
SECTION 1: Image Identification (Based on the Testis/Epididymis Diagram)
**1. What is the outer fibrous capsule that surrounds the testis (often labeled as
G)?**
* **Answer:** Tunica albuginea
**2. What is the name of the network of tubules located at the hilum of the testicle
that receives sperm from the seminiferous tubules (often labeled as C)?**
* **Answer:** Rete testis
**3. What structure sits on top of the testis where sperm undergo maturation and
are stored?**
* **Answer:** Epididymis
**4. Name the coiled tubes where spermatogenesis (sperm production) actually
takes place.**
* **Answer:** Seminiferous tubules
**5. What are the internal projections of the tunica albuginea that divide the testis
into lobules (often labeled as F)?**
* **Answer:** Septa (Septum)
, **6. What is the name of the network of veins in the spermatic cord that helps
cool the blood entering the testes (labeled near J/K)?**
* **Answer:** Pampiniform venous plexus
**7. Name the muscular tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the
ejaculatory duct.**
* **Answer:** Vas deferens (Ductus deferens)
**8. The efferent ductules connect which two structures?**
* **Answer:** The rete testis and the epididymis
**9. True or False: The tunica vaginalis is a serous membrane derived from the
peritoneum.**
* **Answer:** True
**10. What structure contains the vas deferens, testicular artery, pampiniform
plexus, and nerves?**
* **Answer:** Spermatic cord

## SECTION 2: Male Reproductive System Anatomy & Physiology
**11. Which cells in the testes produce testosterone?**
* **Answer:** Interstitial cells (Leydig cells)
**12. Which cells provide nourishment to developing sperm and form the blood-
testis barrier?**
