Why did Richard Lindon look for an option for footballs other than animal bladders? The new balls were easier to make. His wife died from an infection from helping him inflate the balls. His father told him about rubber-inflated tubes. It was too expensive to continue to make them this way.

Why was a saline (0.9% NaCl) solution instead of distilled water used to remove cheek cells during a gargle rinse? Why was Instagene, which contains Chelex (binds divalent ions), added to the tubes prior to boiling the buccal cells? (Hint: Eukaryotic cells contain many heavy metals such as Mg2+, Mn2+, Ca2+, etc.) Cells were boiled to lyse cells. Why does this preparation not destroy the integrity of DNA for PCR use? Is DNA denatured? If so, what bond(s) is broken? Why are the tubes centrifuged a final time before the pure DNA can be removed and stored into clean tubes?

Question 24 Steven M. has decided he wants to have a vasectomy. This procedure will prevent him from impregnating a female in the future. The procedure involves isolating the spermatic cord and vas deferens, cutting and ligating the vas deferens and then replacing them in the spermatic cord and scrotal sac. The nurse explains to Steven that after this procedure his risk of prostate cancer will be increased because of irregular testosterone production. he will continue to produce sperm and the procedure is irreversible. his reproductive organs will no longer respond to FSH and sperm production will cease. he will have to take testosterone supplementation for the rest of his life. he will no longer produce sperm and will be considered sterile.
EXERCISE 31 REVIEW SHEET: The Male Reproductive System Name: Lab Section: Date: 1. Explain why the urethra has both a reproductive function and a urinary function in males. 2. Complete the following table: | Structure | Location | Function | |----------------------|----------|----------| | Seminiferous tubules | a. | b. | | Erectile tissue | c. | d. | | Cremaster muscle | e. | f. | | Ejaculatory duct | g. | h. | 3. If one or both testes do not complete the migration into the scrotum and remain in the abdominal cavity, they must be surgically moved into the scrotum. If the testes remain in the abdominal cavity, the individual will become sterile. Explain why. QUESTIONS 4-11: Match the structure in column A with the appropriate description in column B. A 4. Testis 5. Ductus deferens 6. Scrotum 7. Urethra 8. Ejaculatory duct 9. Penis 10. Epididymis 11. Seminal gland B a. In addition to the urethra, this muscular duct travels through the prostate gland. b. Spermatozoa become functionally mature while in this structure. c. This structure has a urinary and reproductive function. d. The corpus spongiosum is found in this structure. e. Interstitial (Leydig) cells, found in this structure, produce testosterone. f. This structure transports sperm cells from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. g. This two-chambered structure contains the testes. h. Secretions from this structure are a component of semen.
