Read the paragraph below, then look at the diagram to locate each structure written in italics and insert
the corresponding number into each blank space.
The Shaft of the penis consists of three cylindrical structures.
To distinguish between these it helps to remember that the urethra 9 runs through the corpus
spongiosum 10 . The corpora cavernosa 8 occur as a pair and are located on top of the corpus
spongiosum. The corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum are erectile tissues that engorge with
blood during sexual arousal causing an erection. Shortly after erection, pre-cum can be seen exuding
from the urethra. Pre-cum is produced by the bulbourethral glands 6 also known as Cowper's glands.
The testicles 1 are housed in the scrotum. On the top of each testicle, you find the epididymis 2 , and
mature sperm are stored here prior to ejaculation. During ejaculation, sperm will travel from the
epididymis through the vas deferens 3 and pick up fluids from the seminal vesicles 4 , and from
the prostate gland 5

Read the paragraph below, then look at the diagram to locate each structure written in italics and insert
the corresponding number into each blank space.
The clitoris 1 contains numerous nerve endings and is the most sexually sensitive area with the sole
purpose of producing pleasure. The clitoris has no reproductive functioning (only pleasure!), the organ
of reproduction is the vagina 8 . The anus 7 is another area that contains numerous nerve endings and is
a part of the body's primary erogenous zones. Wrapped around the urethra 6 you find the Skene's
glands 16 . The Skene's glands develop from the same underlying tissue as the prostate gland and have
the ability to release fluid (sometimes a significant amount of fluid!) during orgasm. This is sometimes
referred to as squirting, gushing, "female" ejaculation.

The body of the uterus has three layers, what are they called?
Endometrium
Myometrium
Perimetrium
Read the paragraph below, then look at the diagram to locate each structure written in italics and insert
the corresponding number into each blank space.
The ovary 4 is responsible for producing hormones and ova (eggs). At the time of ovulation,
the fimbria 5 which is the fingerlike structure at the end of each fallopian tube 7 sweeps over the ovary
to catch the egg. Once caught, the egg moves down the fallopian tube to reach the uterus 6 . If the egg is
fertilized, it will implant here into the endometrium 3 which is the innermost lining of the uterus. The
neck of the uterus is known as the cervix 2 which reaches into the vagina, also known as the birth canal.
, The vaginal walls contain numerous folds called rugae 1 . The vaginal opening, introitus 8 is covered by
inner lips known as the labia minora 11 . The outer lips of the vulva are known as the labia majora 15 .

The average scrotal temperatures in humans are typically 2.5 to 3 degrees Celsius higher than regular
body temperature (37 degrees Celsius).
False
The hymen is often attributed to important cultural significance to indicate virginity. The notion that an
intact hymen is proof of virginity is rooted in inaccurate and patriarchal beliefs about controlling
sexuality. Most hymens do not cover the vaginal opening. A hymen that covers the vaginal opening is
called an imperforate hymen and is a congenital disorder where a hymen without an opening
completely obstructs the vagina. Let's debunk the myth of virginity and ask some critical questions about
the hymen...
Most often, menstruation begins sometime around the age of 10-15 and menstrual blood needs to leave
the vagina out through the vaginal opening.
The average age of a U.S. bride is somewhere between 25-30. If an intact hymen was to be broken at
the time of penile/vaginal penetration during the wedding night, then how would virgins menstruate?!
Most hymens do not cover the vaginal opening, which allows for menstruation to leave the body. An
imperforate hymen is not very common and is most often diagnosed during adolescence when
menstrual blood accumulates in the vagina and sometimes also in the uterus.
