A 55-year-old man presents with urinary complications. He complains of difficulty urinating and reduced urinary flow. He also has palpable hard nodules on the prostate and is diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Which of the following will be elevated in this patient?

A) seminal vesicle specific proteins
B) prostaglandins
C) prostate specific antigen
D) fructose
C) prostate specific antigen
The blood testis barrier is formed by

A) the capillary endothelium
B) the capillary basal lamina
C) the basement membrane of tunica propria
D) Leydig cells
E) Sertoli cells
E) Sertoli cells
Identify the INCORRECT statement

A) Ejaculation results from smooth muscle contractions around the vas deferens and ductus epididymidis.
B) Spermatocytes which leave the testis are structurally mature and motile.
C) Processes of Sertoli cells form the blood-testis barrier.
D) Fructose, which is part of the secretion of the seminal vesicles, provides energy for the ejaculated spermatozoa
B) Spermatocytes which leave the testis are structurally mature and motile.
Identify the CORRECT statement

A) Fructose, which is part of the secretion of the seminal vesicles, provides energy for the ejaculated spermatozoa.
B) Testosterone produced by the male accessory reproductive glands (seminal vesicle and prostate) causes the development of the masculine extragenital sex characteristics.
C) Leydig cells provide structural and nutritional support for the developing spermatocytes.
D) Spermatocytes are stored in the terminal part of the seminal vesicles.
A) Fructose, which is part of the secretion of the seminal vesicles, provides energy for the ejaculated spermatozoa.
Identify the INCORRECT statement

A) Renin is released by juxtaglomerular cells which surround the afferent arteriole of the glomerulus.
B) Stratified squamous epithelium lines the distal part of the male and female urethra.
C) The increase in the surface area of proximal tubule cells by numerous long microvilli facilitates the absorption of nutritionally valuable substances from the primary urine.
D) Collecting ducts are not permeable to water in the presence of antidiuretic hormone.
D) Collecting ducts are not permeable to water in the presence of antidiuretic hormone.
Identify the cell type
A) spermatid
B) granulosa cell
C) theca-lutein cell
D) podocyte
A) spermatid
Which of the following statements concerning the cells of Leydig is true

A. They become functional at puberty
B. They are located within the seminiferous tubules
C. They are stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone
D. The secrete much of the fluid portion of semen
E. They respond to inhibin
A. They become functional at puberty
A 40-year-old male desires to be sterilized but fears any invasive procedure to his penis or testicles. His physician reassures the male by telling him that a bilateral vasectomy is an effective sterilization procedure that is non-invasive to the penis or testicles. Instead, bilateral vasectomy accesses, (just above the penis and testicles near the pubic hair), to excise a portion of which semen-conveying duct?
A. Urethra
B. Epididymis
C. Seminal vesicle
D. Vas deferens
E. Ejaculatory duct
D. Vas deferens
A 30-year-old man consults a gynecologist along with his wife for infertility. On questioning, he informs the doctor that he never suffered from any major illness in the past and also got married 5 years ago. However, his physical examination reveals failure of testes to descend down into the scrotum. The semen analysis shows semen quantity to be 2 ml and absence of spermatozoa. The blood lab report shows plasma testosterone of 170 ng/dL (normal range of serum testosterone 280-980 ng/dL). The factor responsible for the absence of spermatozoa in this patient is:

A. Degeneration of the epithelium of the seminiferous tubules
B. Decreased secretion of gonadotropins
C. Decreased concentration of testosterone
D. Hypofunctioning of the pituitary gland
E. Increased level of inhibin
A. Degeneration of the epithelium of the seminiferous tubules
