male's role in reproduction

produce lots of sperm


deliver sperm into female

external gentialia

scrotum and penis


internal gentilia

testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, bulbourethral glands

**androgen-insensitivity syndrome

girl shows changes of puberty but doesnt menstruate


testes in abdomen- XY


external develop like no testosterone

scrotum

pouch of skin, muscle, connective tissue, testes


divide at median septum


spermatic cord- deferens


testes

endocrine and exocrine


tunic albuginea- white fibrous capsule


seminiferous tubules- ducts where sperm are made lead to rete testis- partially mature sperm

germ cells and sustencular

germ- become sperm


sustenacular- provide nutrients,ESTROGEN, waste removal, growth factors- protect germ cells- secrete inhibin and androgen-binding protein

interstitial cells

source of testosterone


nerves

mainly sym, some parasym


sensory- pain


autonomic- vasomotor- blood flow

spermatic ducts

leave testis and through ducts to urethra


epididymis

sperm maturation and storage


reabsorb fluid of testis


reabsorb when sperm get old

duct deferens

muscular tube


widens into apulla


unite with seminal vesicles


innervated with sym

ejaculatory duct

vas deferens and seminal vesicles meet


through prostate gland

seminal vesicles

associates with ductus deferens


60% semen


nutrient supply for sperm


enhance contraction of femal?


controlled by testosterone in blood


fructose, carbs


citrate


prostaglandins


pro-semenogelin- protein for enzymes

prostate gland

surround urethra and ejaculatory duct


milky secretion-30%


ions


clotting enzymes


protein hydrolyzing enzyme- sticky to fluid


contorlled by testosterone in blood


buffering pH of vagina




bulbourethral glands

brownish


clear slippery fluid when aroused


lubricates head of penis


neutralize acidity of urine


protect sperm

semen

10% sperm


90% plasma


2-5 mL per ejaculation

penis

3 cylindrical bodies-erectile tissues- fill with blood


corpus spongiosum- ventral side- enclose urethra- expand to fill glans


corpus cavernosum- proximal to sponge- above-



contain blood sinuses- lacunae


endocrine control of puberty

testes secrete testosterone


hypothalamus- produce gonadotropin releasing hormone- GnRH


makes anterior pituitary secrete LH and FSH


LH

make interstitial cells secrete androgens- testosterones


FSH-

sustenacular cells to secrete protein-androgen-binding protein


binds testosterone in seminiferous tubules and epididymis

androgen effects

stimulate growth of sex organs


body growth


negative feedback

testosterone INHIBITs GnRH secretion by hypo AND GnRH sensitiivty in anterior pituitary


inject steroids- will cause infertility- negative feedback

how to modulate FSH without reducing LH and testosterone

inhibin- from sustenacular cells


suppress FSH output from pituitary

spermatogenesis

sperm production


seminiferous tubules- germ cells into 4 cells, meiosis


1- stem cell in primordial germ cell- yolk sac- dormant until puberty, activated by testosterone


2-spermatogonia divide by mitosis- lifetime supply


3- enlarge to spermatocyte- tight junction of 2 sustenacular cells is gone so go through


4- meiosis I- make secondary spermatocytes- first time haploid


5- meiosis II- spermatids


**spermatid into spermigenesis- sinlge SPERMATOZOAN

spermatozoan

head- nucleus, acrosome(enzymes), basal body


tail- midpiece(lots of mitochondria), principal, endpiece

how to have constant cycle

tubules are out of phase- constantly producing sperm

control spermatogenesis

FSH from anterior


LH from anterior


testosterone from interstitial cells


reduced body temp- counter current blood flow

counter current blood flow

artery and vein to testis are close


hot blood to and close to cool blood going away


cools interior of testis


heat transfer

maturation and storage of sperm

made and go into epididymis to ductus deferens


stored in ampulla

erection

neural-vascular reflex


efferent limb


parasym out of SACRAL


**release NO- dilates arterioles- increase blood flow

emission

neural-muscular reflex


efferent limb


sym out of lumbar


**NE- contractions of smooth muscle of vas deferens to push into urethra

ejaculation

neural-muscular


efferent


sym out of lumbar AND somatic motor out of sacral


propel semen out, and urine cant go int

sym vs parasym

sym- contract sphincter- semen no bladder, urine no mix


para- propel semen out


somatic motor- Ach!!!

phases of sexual response

excitement


plateau


orgasm


resolution

excitement

artery dilates- erect and muscle tension


erection is AUTONOMIC- parasym


bulbourethral gland secretes

plateau

respiratory, heart rates and blood pressure are kept high

orgasm

short but intense reaction


ejaculation- 2 stages


emission- sym nerves stimulate peristalsis in deferens to propel sperm from epididymis to ampulla, get prostate fluid and seminal to make


expulsion- somatic and sym- more fluid into urethra- constrict internal urethral sphincter- no pee in semen, SACRAL MOTOR- compress urethra- muscle of penis to expel**add seminal and prostate fluid

resolution

discharge of SYM to constrict internal artery


reduce blood flow


become soft and flaccid


refractory period- 10 min to hours

NO

activates guanylate cyclase- makes cGMP


that relaxes smooth muscle


cGMP is degraded by PDE5


viagra inhibits PDE5
