Myofibroblast |
|
|
Spermatogonia
*enter Meiosis I |
|
|
Primary Spermatocyte
* undergoing meiosis I, enter into meiosis II |
|
|
Early Spermatid
*begin Spermiogenesis (ie maturation into spermatozoa) |
|
|
Late Spermatids |
|
|
Epididymis
*head is slightly bulbous part at the bottom of slide and tail is near the top |
|
|
Rete Testis
*connect up to efferent tubules |
|
|
Line of Sertoli Cells at the end of the seminferous tubules, about to open up into the rete testes
*produce Androgen-Binding-Protein, Inhibins, phagocytize cytoplasmic remnants of maturing spermatids, and forms blood-testis barrier |

|
|
Efferent Ductules
*Scalloped edges on lumen with cilliated cells |
|
What cell structure is the arrow pointing to? |
Golgi Apparatus of Epididymis Cell
*enlarged due to large amount of secretions made by epididymis |
|
|
Seminal Vesicle
*Alveolar/glandular like appearance |
|
|
Seminal Vesicle
*pseudostratfied epithelium with characteristic debris of sloughed off cells and spermatozoa in lumen |
|
|
Prostate
*Very similar looking to seminal vesicle, but NO DEBRIS IN LUMEN!!! |
|
|
Prostatic Concretion
*precipitates of secreted materials around cellular debris that is common in the prostates of older gentlemen with obstruction of semen |
|
|
Star =corpus cavernosum Arrow = urethra Circle = Helical Artery supplying cavernosum |
