    What anatomy is included in the spermatic cord?

    • A.

      Testicular artery and vein

    • B.

      Ejaculatory duct

    • C.

      Epididymis

    • D.

      Ductus deferens

    Correct Answer
    A. Testicular artery and vein
    Explanation
    The spermatic cord is a structure that connects the testes to the rest of the reproductive system. It contains various anatomical components, including the testicular artery and vein. These blood vessels are responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to the testes and draining deoxygenated blood away from them. The other options listed, such as the ejaculatory duct, epididymis, and ductus deferens, are not part of the spermatic cord but are involved in the process of ejaculation and sperm transport.

    Where is the dartos muscle?

    • A.

      Epididymis

    • B.

      Scrotom

    • C.

      Spermatic cord

    • D.

      Urinary bladder

    Correct Answer
    B. Scrotom
    Explanation
    The dartos muscle is located in the scrotum. The scrotum is a pouch of skin that hangs below the penis and contains the testicles. The dartos muscle is responsible for regulating the temperature of the testicles by contracting or relaxing to adjust the distance between the testicles and the body. This helps to maintain the optimal temperature for sperm production.

    What divides the scrotal pouch into right and left compartments?

    • A.

      Raphe

    • B.

      Tunica dartos

    • C.

      Spermatic cord

    • D.

      Tunica vaginalis

    Correct Answer
    A. RapHe
    Explanation
    The raphe is a fibrous band that runs along the midline of the scrotal pouch. It divides the pouch into right and left compartments, helping to separate the testicles and other structures within the scrotum. The raphe is formed during fetal development and is a normal anatomical feature in males. It serves as a structural support and helps to maintain the integrity of the scrotal pouch.

  • 4. 

    Where does spermatogenesis occur?

    • A.

      Epididymis

    • B.

      Efferent ducts

    • C.

      Spermatic cords

    • D.

      Seminiferous tubules

    Correct Answer
    D. Seminiferous tubules
    Explanation
    Spermatogenesis, the process of sperm production, occurs in the seminiferous tubules. These tubules are located within the testes and are responsible for the production and maturation of sperm cells. The seminiferous tubules contain specialized cells called germ cells, which undergo a series of divisions and differentiations to eventually produce mature sperm. The other options mentioned, such as the epididymis, efferent ducts, and spermatic cords, are not directly involved in spermatogenesis but play important roles in the transport and storage of sperm after they are produced in the seminiferous tubules.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which sonographic technique is used to document varicocele?

    • A.

      Expiration

    • B.

      Inspiration

    • C.

      Valsalva maneuver

    • D.

      Quiet respiration

    Correct Answer
    C. Valsalva maneuver
    Explanation
    The Valsalva maneuver is a sonographic technique used to document varicocele. During this maneuver, the patient is asked to bear down as if having a bowel movement, which increases intra-abdominal pressure. This helps to detect and assess the presence of varicoceles by causing them to dilate and become more visible on the ultrasound image. The other options, expiration, inspiration, and quiet respiration, do not involve the necessary increase in intra-abdominal pressure to effectively visualize varicoceles.

  • 6. 

    What changes can occur in approximately 40% of the postvascectomy patients?

    • A.

      Atrophy of the scrotal sac

    • B.

      Enlargement of the epididymis

    • C.

      Infarction of one or both testis

    • D.

      Hyperemia of one or both testis

    Correct Answer
    B. Enlargement of the epididymis
    Explanation
    Approximately 40% of postvasectomy patients can experience enlargement of the epididymis. This is because the vasectomy procedure involves cutting and sealing the vas deferens, which can lead to congestion and swelling in the epididymis. This enlargement is usually temporary and resolves on its own over time. Atrophy of the scrotal sac, infarction of one or both testis, and hyperemia of one or both testis are not common changes that occur in postvasectomy patients.

    What is the most common scrotal fluid collection?

    • A.

      Hydrocele

    • B.

      Pyocele

    • C.

      Varicocele

    • D.

      Spermatocele

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrocele
    Explanation
    Hydrocele is the most common scrotal fluid collection. It occurs when there is an accumulation of fluid around the testicle, leading to swelling in the scrotum. This condition is usually painless and can affect males of all ages, but it is more common in newborns and older men. Hydroceles can be caused by various factors such as injury, infection, or underlying medical conditions. Treatment options include observation, medication, or surgical intervention, depending on the severity and symptoms experienced by the individual.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Most undescended testes occur in what region?

    • A.

      Lymphaics

    • B.

      Inguinal canal

    • C.

      Retroperitoneum

    • D.

      Retrovesicular pouch

    Correct Answer
    B. Inguinal canal
    Explanation
    Undescended testes, also known as cryptorchidism, refers to a condition where one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum. The most common location for undescended testes is the inguinal canal, which is a passage in the lower abdomen. The inguinal canal serves as a pathway for the testes to descend from the abdomen into the scrotum during fetal development. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that most undescended testes occur in the inguinal canal.

    What is the globus major?

    • A.

      Epididymal head

    • B.

      Epididymal tail

    • C.

      Seminal vesicles

    • D.

      Testes

    Correct Answer
    A. Epididymal head
    Explanation
    The globus major refers to the epididymal head, which is a structure located at the top of the epididymis. The epididymis is a coiled tube that is connected to the testes and serves as a site for the maturation and storage of sperm. The epididymal head is responsible for receiving sperm from the testes and allowing it to mature before it is transported to the epididymal tail and eventually to the vas deferens.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What is the most common location for an epididymal cyst?

    • A.

      Urethra

    • B.

      Spermatic cord

    • C.

      Head of epididymis

    • D.

      Throughout the epididymis

    Correct Answer
    C. Head of epididymis
    Explanation
    An epididymal cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms in the epididymis, which is a coiled tube located at the back of the testicle. The head of the epididymis is the most common location for these cysts to occur. The spermatic cord is the structure that connects the testicle to the rest of the reproductive system and is not typically associated with epididymal cysts. The urethra is the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body and is not a common location for these cysts. Throughout the epididymis is too broad of a location and does not specifically identify the most common location.

  • 11. 

    Which of the following structures transports sperm from the testes to the prostatic urethra?

    • A.

      Rete testis

    • B.

      Spermatic cord

    • C.

      Vas deferens

    • D.

      Seminal vesicles

    Correct Answer
    C. Vas deferens
    Explanation
    The vas deferens is the structure that transports sperm from the testes to the prostatic urethra. It is a long, muscular tube that connects the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. During ejaculation, sperm travels through the vas deferens and mixes with seminal fluid from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands before being expelled through the urethra. The other structures listed, such as the rete testis, spermatic cord, and seminal vesicles, are not directly involved in transporting sperm to the prostatic urethra.

  • 12. 

    Where is the prostate gland located?

    • A.

      In the retropubic space

    • B.

      Anterior to the urethra

    • C.

      Anterior to the bladder

    • D.

      Between the bladder and the pelvic floor

    Correct Answer
    D. Between the bladder and the pelvic floor
    Explanation
    The prostate gland is located between the bladder and the pelvic floor. This is because the prostate gland surrounds the urethra, which passes through the prostate and connects the bladder to the external urethral opening. Therefore, the prostate gland is situated in the space between the bladder and the pelvic floor.

    • C.

      Seminal vesicles

    • D.

      Mediastinum testes

    Correct Answer
    D. Mediastinum testes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Mediastinum testes." The mediastinum testes refers to the thickened portion of the tunica albuginea, which is the fibrous capsule that surrounds the testes. It acts as a support structure for the testes and contains blood vessels, nerves, and the rete testis, which is responsible for transporting sperm to the epididymis. The other options, such as rete testis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles, are not correct because they do not specifically refer to the thickened portion of the tunica albuginea.

    • A.

      Tunica albuginea and tunica vaginalis

    • B.

      2 layers of the tunica vaginalis

    • C.

      Spermatic cord and the tunica vaginalis

    • D.

      2 layers of the tunica albuginea

    Correct Answer
    B. 2 layers of the tunica vaginalis
    Explanation
    A hydrocele is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid between the layers of the tunica vaginalis, which is a membrane that surrounds the testicles. This accumulation of fluid can cause swelling and discomfort in the scrotum. The correct answer states that a hydrocele occurs between the 2 layers of the tunica vaginalis, which accurately describes the location of the fluid collection in this condition.

  • 19. 

    Normal testes will descend into the scrotal sac by:

    • A.

      6 mos

    • B.

      12 mos

    • C.

      2 yrs

    • D.

      3 yrs

    Correct Answer
    A. 6 mos
    Explanation
    Testes normally descend into the scrotal sac by 6 months of age. During fetal development, the testes form in the abdomen and gradually descend into the scrotum before birth. In some cases, the descent may take a little longer, but by 6 months, it is expected that the testes will be in the scrotum. The presence of testes in the scrotum is important for proper development and function of the reproductive system.

    • C.

      Vas deferens

    • D.

      Seminal vesicles

    Correct Answer
    C. Vas deferens
    Explanation
    The vas deferens is the correct answer because it is the structure that transports sperm from the testes to the prostatic urethra. The rete testis is a network of tubules within the testes that collect sperm, but it does not transport them to the urethra. The spermatic cord is a bundle of nerves, blood vessels, and ducts that connect the testes to the abdomen, but it does not directly transport sperm. The seminal vesicles are responsible for producing seminal fluid, but they do not transport sperm.

    A spermatic vein is considered dilated after the diameter exceeds:

    • A.

      2mm

    • B.

      4mm

    • C.

      6mm

    • D.

      8mm

    Correct Answer
    B. 4mm
    Explanation
    A spermatic vein is considered dilated after the diameter exceeds 4mm. This means that when the diameter of the vein reaches or surpasses 4mm, it is considered enlarged or dilated. This could be due to various reasons such as varicocele, a condition where the veins in the scrotum become enlarged and swollen. It is important to monitor the size of the spermatic vein as excessive dilation can lead to complications and may require medical intervention.

    • D.

      Inguinal canal

    Correct Answer
    D. Inguinal canal
    Explanation
    The majority of undescended testes are located in the inguinal canal. The inguinal canal is a passage in the lower abdominal wall that connects the abdominal cavity to the scrotum. During fetal development, the testes descend from the abdomen into the scrotum through the inguinal canal. In some cases, this descent does not occur properly, resulting in undescended testes. Therefore, it is common for undescended testes to be found in the inguinal canal.

    • D.

      Epididymis

    Correct Answer
    B. Seminal vesicles
    Explanation
    The seminal vesicles are not located within the scrotum. The scrotum is a sac-like structure that houses the testes, epididymis, and spermatic cord. The testes are responsible for producing sperm, while the epididymis stores and transports sperm. The spermatic cord contains blood vessels, nerves, and the vas deferens, which is a tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra. The seminal vesicles, on the other hand, are located behind the bladder and are responsible for producing seminal fluid, which is a component of semen.

    In young men, what is epididymitis most often caused by?

    • A.

      STD

    • B.

      Scrotal trauma

    • C.

      Torsion

    • D.

      Infertility

    Correct Answer
    A. STD
    Explanation
    Epididymitis is most often caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in young men. The epididymis is a tube located at the back of the testicles that stores and transports sperm. When an STI, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia, spreads from the urethra to the epididymis, it can cause inflammation and infection. This leads to symptoms like pain, swelling, and tenderness in the scrotum. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of the underlying STI is crucial to prevent complications and further spread of the infection.

    • A.

      Undescended testis

    • B.

      Spermatocele

    • C.

      Varicocele

    • D.

      Hydrocele

    Correct Answer
    C. Varicocele
    Explanation
    Varicocele is the most common correctable cause of male infertility. It is a condition characterized by the enlargement of veins within the scrotum, disrupting the flow of blood and increasing scrotal temperature. This elevated temperature can negatively impact sperm production and function, leading to infertility. Varicocele can be corrected through surgical intervention or other treatment methods, improving fertility in affected individuals.

      Epididymis

    Correct Answer(s)
    C. Spermatic cord
    D. Testes
    E. Epididymis
    Explanation
    The scrotum contains several major structures, including the spermatic cord, testes, and epididymis. The spermatic cord is a bundle of nerves, blood vessels, and ducts that connect the testes to the rest of the reproductive system. The testes are responsible for producing sperm and testosterone. The epididymis is a coiled tube located on top of the testes where sperm mature and are stored. These structures play crucial roles in the production, storage, and transportation of sperm, making them essential components of the scrotum.

    The primary function of the testes is the production of:

    Correct Answer(s)
    Sperm
    Explanation
    The testes are responsible for the production of sperm. Sperm is the male reproductive cell that is necessary for fertilization of the female egg. The testes produce sperm through a process called spermatogenesis, which involves the development and maturation of sperm cells. Sperm production is essential for sexual reproduction and the continuation of the species.

  • 42. 

    The production of sperm occurs in the:

    Correct Answer(s)
    Seminiferous tubules
    Explanation
    The seminiferous tubules are responsible for the production of sperm in the male reproductive system. These tubules are located within the testes and are lined with specialized cells called germ cells. These germ cells undergo a process called spermatogenesis, where they divide and differentiate to form sperm cells. The seminiferous tubules provide the necessary environment and support for this process to occur. Therefore, the correct answer is seminiferous tubules.

    Testosterone is produced by what type of cells?

    Correct Answer(s)
    Leydig
    Explanation
    Testosterone is produced by Leydig cells. These cells are found in the testes of males and are responsible for the production and secretion of testosterone. Testosterone is an important hormone in males as it plays a crucial role in the development of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics. Leydig cells are stimulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland to produce testosterone. Therefore, Leydig cells are the correct type of cells that produce testosterone.

    The head of the epididymis measures what in AP diameter?

    Correct Answer(s)
    10-12 mm
    Explanation
    The head of the epididymis measures 10-12 mm in AP (anteroposterior) diameter. This measurement refers to the distance from the front to the back of the head of the epididymis. It is a standard measurement used to assess the size and dimensions of the epididymis, which is a coiled tube located at the back of the testicle.

    The normal adult testes measures _____ in transverse and AP diameters?

    Correct Answer(s)
    2-3 cm
    Explanation
    The normal adult testes measure 2-3 cm in both transverse and AP diameters. This measurement is considered within the normal range for adult males. The size of the testes can vary slightly among individuals, but a measurement of 2-3 cm is generally considered normal. It is important to note that any significant deviation from this range may indicate a potential underlying condition or issue with the testes.

    The two layers of the Tunica vaginalis is the visceral and parietal.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Tunica vaginalis is a double-layered membrane that surrounds the testes. The two layers are known as the visceral layer, which is the inner layer that directly covers the testes, and the parietal layer, which is the outer layer that lines the scrotal cavity. Therefore, the statement that the two layers of the Tunica vaginalis are the visceral and parietal is correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 48. 

    What layer covers the testes?

    Correct Answer
    Visceral
    Explanation
    The layer that covers the testes is called the visceral layer. This layer is part of the tunica vaginalis, a membrane that surrounds and protects the testes. The visceral layer is in direct contact with the testes and helps to provide support and protection to this reproductive organ.

    What is the only glandular prostate zone that can be individually differentiated on an endorectal sonography exam?

    • A.

      Transitional

    • B.

      Peripheral

    • C.

      Periurethral

    • D.

      Central

    Correct Answer
    B. PeripHeral
    Explanation
    Peripheral is the only glandular prostate zone that can be individually differentiated on an endorectal sonography exam. This is because the peripheral zone is the largest and most accessible zone of the prostate, making it easier to visualize and distinguish from other zones. The transitional zone, periurethral zone, and central zone are not as easily distinguishable on sonography exams, making peripheral the correct answer.
