|
network as 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
