Fig.2: Structures of the scrotum

Explanation of Solution

Structures of the testes that are depicted in the diagram are as follows:

  1. 1. Cremaster muscle: It is a paired structure found in the spermatic cords superior to the testes.
  2. 2. Dartos muscle: The scrotum wall is composed of a thin layer of superficial fascia present at the internal part to the skin, an external layer of skin, and a smooth muscle layer called dartos muscle.
  3. 3. Scrotum: A skin-covered sac present between the thighs is known as the scrotum.
  4. 4. Tunica albuginea: It is a whitish, thick, fibrous capsule that covers the testis. The tunica albuginea is situated deep to the visceral layer of the tunica vaginalis.

Structures of the scrotum that are depicted in the diagram are as follows:

  1. 1. Efferent duct: This duct connects the rete testis to the epididymis.
  2. 2. Seminiferous tubules: These tubules are located in the testes and are responsible for the production of spermatozoa, which are further differentiated to form sperm cells.
  3. 3. Straight tubule: It connects the convoluted part of the seminiferous tubules to the rete testis.
  4. 4. Rete testis: The rete testis forms a meshwork of interconnected channels present in the mediastinum testis (mass of connective tissue at the back of the testis).
  5. 5. Tunica albuginea: It covers the testes.
  6. 6. Lobule: The testicle is divided into different parts known as lobules.
  7. 7. Septum: It splits the scrotal sac.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format: I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format) Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).
