Explanation / Answer

Answers

1. Water is the main component of our body.

2. The major intracellular cation is Potassium while the major extracellular cation is Sodium.

3. The phosphate buffer system together with protein buffer system is most important in the intracellular fluid compartment.

4. The gland that contibutes most of the volume of the semen is seminal vesicles or seminal glands. The most important component of seminal fulid is fructose. It serves as primary nutrient source for the sperms. Sprems get enegry from the secretions of seminal vesicles.

5. Chronic vomitting could lead to pH imbalance called Alkalosis.

6. The ejaculatory duct is formed by the fusion of Vas deferns and duct of seminal vesicle.

7. The Dartos muscle is responsible of lifting and wrinkling of the scrotum.

8. The functional maturation of sperm occurs in the Epididymis.

9. Spermiogenesis is maturation of spermatids and activation of sperm motility through formation of tail by microtubules of the centriole. Spermatids are sperm cell with nucleus, golgo body and mitochondria which develop into spermatozoa through the process of spermiogenesis.

Spermiation is the process of releasing the spermatozoa from sertoli cells into the seminiferous tubules.

10. FSH hormones targets testes in males. Its function is testicular growth. It acts upon sertoli cells present in testes to stimulate the production of androgen-binding protein necessary for suppoting the mature spem cells.
