Chater 3 Flashcards
Male repro anatomy (makes up)
Testis, spermatic cord, butch’s defferns, accessory sex glands, scrutinize, glans penis, prepuce
What are the accessory sex glands
Ampulla, vesicular gland, prostate, bulbourethral gland
Testis
Contains seminiferous tubes,site of spermatogenesis
Seminiferous tubules
Deliver sperm to rete testis
Rete testis
Leads to efferent ductules
Spermatozoa are developed
By serotonin cells by stimulation of FSH
Interstitial/ leygid cells
Between S. Tubules, secrete testosterone when stimulated by LH
Sertoli cells in males
Equal granulosa cells in females and both have FSHr
Leydig cells in males
Equal theca interna cells in females and both have LHr
draw the stallion repro tract
Cremaster muscle, Ductus deferences, head of epididymis, tail of epididymis, pampinform plexus, parietal vaginal tunic, visceral vagina tunic, testis
Pituitary hormone effect
LH and FSH stimulate spermatogenesis and testosterone secretion
Testes hormone effect
Testosterone and inhibin inhibit the secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus and LH and FHS by the pituitary
Functions of spermatic cord
Suspends testis in scrotum, provides heat exchange, houses cremaster muscle
Pampiniform plexus
Counter current heat exchange, cools arterial blood supply, thermoregulation
Three thermoregulation ways
Tunica dartos, cremaster muscle (raise/lower), p. Plexus (blood cooling)
