Human Reproduction Flashcards
What is the purpose of Cremaster muscle?
Elevates the testes to maintain the right temp. for spermatogenesis
Cryptorchidism
Failure of testes to descend into the scrotum from the abdomen
what are found between 2 seminiferous tubules?
Blood vessels/Leydig cells/Immunologically competent cells
Functions of Sertoli cells
- Nourish germ cells
- Produce inhibin & Anti-mullerian hormone
- Basis of blood testis barrier
- Phagocyte injured or dead sperm cells
What is the correct sequence of transport of sperms in the Male reproductive sys?
Seminiferous tubules → Rete testis → Vasa efferentia → Epididymis → Vas deferens → Ejaculatory duct → Urethra → Urethral meatus
Spermiation
Liberation of sperms from sertoli cells of seminiferous tubules
Testis is attached to walls of scrotal sac with the help of group of fibres called………………
Gubernaculum or mesorchium
Epididymis function
Maturation, motility and storage of sperms
which tube re-enters abdomen and loops over the urinary bladder?

spermiogenesis/spermateleosis
process of transformation of circular spermatid to spermatozoa
During cleavage in zygote mitotic spindle assembly is done by
proximal centriole of sperm
