Lecture 04 - Male Reproductive System Flashcards
Testis Taxonomy(!)
Seminifer tubules –> Rete Testis –> Efferent Ducti –> Epididymis
Epididymis: General Characteristics
4-7 m inside 5 cm A place for development of sperms From superior pole of testis to inferior pole Vase difference: vasomuscular Head, Body, Tail Appendix Attached to tunica albogina
Epididymis: Sinus
Inside tunica vaginalis
Separates it from testis
Epididymis: Epididymitis
Uncommon
Intrinsic or retrograde
Testis: Aterial Supply
- Testicular
- Obturator
- Superior Vesical
- External Pudendal
Torsion
Testis: Veinous Supply
Panpiniform reticule –> testicular veins
Right: inferior vena cava
Left: renal v.
Panpiniform:
Temperature regulation
Varicocele: temperature regulation + burning. Common in left testis
Testis: Lymph
Paraaortic lymph nodes
Little to vascular roads
Testis: Innervation
Sypathic: L1-3, vasomotor, constrictor
Parasympathic: S2-4, vasomotor, dilator
Vase Difference: General Characteristics
Vasomuscular
Assisted Reproductive Tecnology
Seminal Vesicle: General Characteristics
Between rectum and bladder
Retroperitoneal
Palpable in pathologic forms
Secretes most if semen
Seminal Vesicle: Effects
1.Effective in fertilization:
A. Zn: disulfid glutamine bonds –> increase of sperms’ nucleus density
B. Fructose: sperms food
2. PG: facilitates fertilization and sperm movement
3. Facilitates sperms movement
