What are the Primary Sex organs of a male reproductive system?
Testes, Scrotum, Penis (present @ Birth
When does secondary sex organs appear?
9-14 yrs old
Reproductive secondary sex organ
Development of accessory structure plus primary sex organ
Integumentary secondary sex organ
Hair follicle development on face, chest, axillary pubic areas is a sign of.
Skeletal secondary sex characteristic
Increase bone fact is a secondary sex characteristic of
Muscular secondary sex characteristic
body conformation is the secondary sex characteristic
Respiratory secondary sex characteristic
Enlargement of Larynx is the secondary sex characteristic
Structure in Testes is the outer layer of testes
Tunica vaginalis is the structure in Testes
Structure in Testes which is made of connective tissue collagen capsule
Tunica Albuginea is the structure in Testes
Structure in testes is the site of spermatogenesis
seminiferous tubules which is connected to formation of sperm
Which structure connects semineferous tubules to rete testes
Straight Tubules is connected to
Straight tubules isconnected to Straight tubules
semineferous tubules ->rete testis
Rete testes is part of
network as part of the testes
Efferent Ducts a part of the testes
connects testes to epididymis
Interstitial cells(of Leydig) pertains to androgen production (testosterone)
located in the semineferous tubules
Sustentacular cells(Sertoli)provides nutrient to developing sperm
it is within the Semineferous tubules
Descent of the Testes
testes develops near a kidney and through inguinal canal
Testes enters the scrotum completing journey
8th gestational month is themculmination of journey
Cryptorchidism
Testes has not reach Scrotum by birth, cannot stay in high temp.
Spermatogenisis
production of sperm
Primary Spermatocytes (2n)
Meiosis I
Secondary spermatocytes
Meiosis II
end up with 4 haploid(23 chromosomes
Spermatids(haploid)
Spermatozoa(end up with 4 haploid, no cell diffusion
Structure of Sperm Cell
Head contains nucleus,
Acrosomal cap - cont. Enzyme
Middle piece- mitochondria,
Tail - Flagellum
Pathway of Sperm
Semineferous tubules->Straight tubules->Rete Testis->Efferent ducts->Epididymis->ductus deferens->ejaculatory duct->urethra at prostate
Spermatic cord contains
ductus deferens,vas deferens, ductus defferentia, Testicular artery and vein nerves
Inguinal canal
passageway through abdominal muscle for spermatic cord
In females nerves and round ligament to uterus
Inguinal Hernia
intestines protrude due to weakness in abdominal wall and increase in abdominal pressure
Hiatal Hernia
Hernia by Diaphram
Scrotum
Pouch of skin and subcutaneous tissue
Dartos muscle
Smooth muscle in subcutaneous tissue
Cremaster Muscle
Deep to Dermis, Contract to pull testes closer to body
Normal sperm development
1.1 degree below body temperature (37 degress)
Medial Septum
Divides Scrotum in two chambers
Chambers lined with serous membrane
Tunica vaginalis
chamber houses
testis and epididymis
Penis as a tubular organ
Distal part of urethra (penile)
Part of urogenital system (penis)
conveys urine and semen as part of
Root
Attachment to body wall
Body
contain erectile tissue
Glans
distal end, surrounds urethral meatus
Prepuce
Foreskin
Corpora Cavernosa
2 cylinders of erectile tissue
Corpora Spongiosum
one cylinder, contains penile urethra
Epididymis (peritoneal)
Tightly coiled tubules
Promotes maturation of Sperm
Epididymis
Vasa Deferentia
Muscular tube that pushes sperm by peristaltic contractions and by PSCCE (Cilia)
45 cm, can be stored for months
vasa deferentia extends epididymis to ejaculatory duct
Accessory Organs Includes
Seminal vesicles, Prostate gland and bulbourethral gland are the type
Functions of accessory organs
activates sperm, provides nourishment, propels semen, provides buffer
Seminal vesicles
attached to vas deferens near base of posterior urinary bladder
Secretes alkalin fluid, and contents empty into ejaculatory duct
Seminal vesicles
prostate gland
Surrounds proximal part of urethra, ducts of glands open to urethra, secretes a thin milky, alkaline fluid, which enhances mobility
Bulbourethral Gland
Inferior to prostate gland, secretes mucos like fluid, response to sexual stimulation, 5% of semen
Semen
2-5 ml per ejaculation which contains sperm cell along w/ secetion, slightly alkaline
<20-50 million sperm cells
Infertile
Erection
Parasympathetic nerve impulses
blood accumulates in erectile tissue
Orgasm
culmination of sexual stimulation, w/ emission and ejaculation
Ejaculation
Emission - movement of semen into urethra, largely sympathetic nerves
Hypothalamus
control maturation of sperm,development of male secondary sex characteristics
Negative Feedback
among the hypothalamus, anterior lobe of the pituitary gland
testes controls concentration
Testosterone
GnRH
Gonatropin releasing hormone
Stimulates FSH and Lh from anterior pituitary gland
GnRH
FSH
Follicle Stimulating hormone
LH
Leutinin Hormone
Initiates Spermatogenesis
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
Stimulate Sustantacular cells
Inhibin - also inhibits FSH and GnRH
LH stimulates interstitial cells
Testosterone
Testosterone
ecretes androgen, stimulate spermatogenesis, sperm maturation, stimulates metabolism, sex drive, 2nd sex character, maintanance
Inhibin
from Sustentacular cells, inhibits secretion of fh and GnRH, regulates rate of spermatogenesis
Prostate enlargement
Benign prostatic hypertrophy-over 50
risk factor for BPH
fat diet, vasectomy, exposure to environ. factors, inherited gene for breast cancer are factors
Treatment for BPH
Surgical removal, Drugs, balloon in urethra, freezing tumor, stent between lobes of prostate
Prostate cancer
Malignant condition , detected by PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)
