What is this
Ductus deferens
Lumen Stellate in shape
A thick-walled muscular tube
Epithelial lining and its supporting lamina propria are thrown into longitudinal folds
> pseudostratified columnar
What is this
Seminal vesicle
Honeycombed saccules with thin, highly branched folds of mucosa, lined by a pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
What is this
Epididymis
Function: Accumulation, Storage and maturation of spermatozoa
Epithelium – Pseudostratified epithelium
Very long microvilli inappropriately called stereocilia
What is this
Testes
Lumen- not too many sperm
Different stages
Number of tubular structures
What is this
Prostate
can see connective tissue stroma
Pinkish protrusion
Fibromuscular glandular structures
Highly convoluted
What is this and how can you tell?
Part of the testes- **seminiferous tubules **
A lot of spermatogonia close to the basement membrane
Interstitial cells of Leydig -> produces testosterone
Serotoli cells -> creates blood-testes bariere, enhances spermatogenesis
What is this
Testes
A lot of spermatogonia close t
Part of the testes- seminiferous tubules
Function of leydig cells & where are they found
Production of testosterone
Present (single or in groups) in the interstitial spaces between tubules
Function of seritoli cells
Support and nourish the developing spermatozoa
