    What dilates, and what constricts during a erection?

    • Penile arteries, renal veins

    • Renal veins, penile arteries

    • Veins, arteries

    • Penile arteries, veins

    Correct Answer
    A. Penile arteries, veins
    Explanation
    During an erection, the penile arteries dilate, meaning they expand in diameter to allow more blood flow into the penis. This increased blood flow is essential for achieving and maintaining an erection. On the other hand, the veins in the penis constrict, meaning they narrow, to prevent blood from leaving the penis too quickly. This combination of dilated arteries and constricted veins helps to trap blood in the penis, resulting in a firm erection.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Why do the veins constrict?

    • To slow blood inflow

    • To speed blood outflow

    • To slow blood outflow

    Correct Answer
    A. To slow blood outflow
    Explanation
    The veins constrict in order to slow down the outflow of blood. This constriction helps in maintaining blood pressure and preventing excessive blood loss. When the veins constrict, the diameter of the blood vessels decreases, which reduces the volume of blood flowing out of them. This mechanism is particularly important in situations where the body needs to conserve blood, such as during injury or hemorrhage. By slowing down the outflow of blood, the veins assist in maintaining a stable circulation and preventing hypovolemia.

    The comma-shaped structure attached to the posterior border of each testis is the epididymis. The epididymis is responsible for storing and maturing sperm cells before they are transported to the vas deferens for ejaculation. It plays a crucial role in the reproductive system by providing a suitable environment for sperm to develop and gain motility.

    • Maturation of sperm

    • Storage

    • Transportation of sperm

    • Storage of seminal fluid

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Maturation of sperm
    A. Storage
    A. Transportation of sperm
    Explanation
    The epididymis is a coiled tube located on the back of each testicle that serves multiple functions. It is responsible for the maturation of sperm, allowing them to become fully motile and capable of fertilization. The epididymis also acts as a storage site for sperm, where they can be stored for several weeks until ejaculation occurs. In addition, the epididymis aids in the transportation of sperm, helping to propel them from the testicles to the vas deferens during ejaculation.

    • Stores sperm

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A tube connecting the epididymis and the ejaculation duct
    A. Transports sperm
    A. Stores sperm
    Explanation
    The Vas deferens is a tube that connects the epididymis (where sperm is stored and matures) to the ejaculation duct. It is responsible for transporting sperm from the testis to the urethra during ejaculation. Additionally, the Vas deferens also has the ability to store sperm for a certain period of time before ejaculation occurs.
