Function of Vas Deferens

The main function of vas deferens is in transporting the spermatozoa from the epididymis
all the way to the ejaculatory ducts. The sympathetic nervous system during ejaculation
innervates the muscular layers of the ductus deferens causing them to generate strong
peristaltic contractions to assist in the propulsion of the spermatozoa. Consequently, the
vas deferens transports nature sperms to the urethra hence helps to prepare for
ejaculation.

The smooth muscles in the walls of the vas deferens during ejaculation reflexively
contract causing sperms to move forward. This is peristalsis. Sperms are passed from vas
deferens into the urethra mixing partially with the secretions from the male accessory
glands such as the prostate glands, seminal vesicles and the bulbourethral glands.

The ductus deferens is rendered with an artery of vas deferens which emerges from the
superior or inferior vesical artery.
The main functions of the penis include reproduction and urination. Penises vary in
length, girth, and appearance but mostly all have the same anatomy, which allows them
to perform their functions.
Knowing the anatomy and function of the penis is important for good health. Noticing
any changes in the appearance, sensation, or performance of the penis can indicate an
underlying issue that may require medical attention.

The penis is the male copulatory organ. The term penis typically refers to the root, body,
and glans of the genitals. The rest of the male sexual anatomy includes other external
parts such as the scrotum, and internal parts such as the testicles.
The penis contains soft, spongy tissue as well as muscles, fibrous tissue, veins, arteries,
and the urethra. These allow the penis to perform its functions.

Functions
The 2 main functions of the penis include sexual intercourse and micturition (urination).
When a person experiences arousal, the penis fills with blood, causing an erection. As
such, erectile function is closely related to cardiovascular health.
The rigidity of the erection enables a person to penetrate a partner and have sex.
Following sexual activity or manual stimulation, a person can then ejaculate. After
ejaculation or loss of arousal, the penis can return to a flaccid state.
The penis also plays an important urinary role. The penis contains the urethra, which
allows passage of urine from the bladder to the urethral opening, enabling a person to
expel urine from the body.
The cervix is the opening to the uterus and is connected to the vagina. It allows the sperm
cells to pass and be directed into the uterus for possible fertilization of the egg in the
fallopian tube.

(definition)
The cervix connects the body of the uterus to the vagina. Part of the lining of the cervix
contains glands that make and release mucus. For most of the menstrual cycle and during
pregnancy, the mucus is thick and stops sperm from entering the uterus.

The lower, narrow end of the uterus that forms a canal between the uterus and vagina.

Lowermost part of the uterus is made up of strong muscles.

(functions)
The cervix is a passage that allows fluids to flow inside and out of the uterus. It’s also a
powerful gatekeeper that can open and close in ways that make pregnancy and childbirth
possible.

Allow flow of menstrual blood from the uterus into the vagina, and direct the sperms into
the uterus during intercourse.

Opening of the cervix is normally very narrow, but this opening widens to about 4 inches
(10 cm) during labor, to allow the birth of a baby.

Cervical mucus is a fluid produced by the cervix. Your cervical mucus changes
throughout your menstrual cycle. Wet and slippery cervical mucus indicates fertility. This
type of discharge makes it easy for sperm to swim to an egg at ovulation.
