Lecture 29: Male Reproductive System Flashcards
is bladder retro or intra
retroperitoneal. peritoneum covers superior of bladder and base, reflects and starts to cover rectum. this forms the rectovesical pouch
fxn testes
produce sperm and T
epididymis fxn
the head receives sperm from seminferous tubules. maturation sperm. the tail continuous with VD
stores spemr for several months
highly convuluted ube
vas (ductus) deferens
carries sperm from epididymis, goes behind urinary bladder
starts frmo tail epiidmys, ascends thru spermatic cord. ends at base urinary bladder
joins duct of seminal vesicle to form ejaculatory duct
seminal vesicle
two coiled tube
produces 60% of fluid part of semen
joins the VD to form ejaculatory duct that opens into prostatic urethra
major differences btw M and F repro
- F repro is anatomically related to urinary system, M is not
- most of F repro system is located within true pelvc cavity, whereas most parts of M are outside pelvic
- F repro system connects peritoneal cavity with the exterior as a conduit, but M repro has no connection with peritoneal cavity
what are the male repro ducts
epidydmis, VD, ejaculatory duct
what are male accessory sex glands
seminal vesicles, prostate, bulbourethral gland
structure testes
posterior border has hilum, blood, lymphatic, nerves travel thru
tunica albuginea covers testis, invaginates into its posterior border to form mediastinum of testis
250 lobules in each teste, each lobule contains 1-3 seminiferous tubules
seminiferous tubules
produce sperm, devlier into epididymis
developement of testes
develop in abdo cavity behind peritoneum. descend via inguinal canal, enter scrotum efore birth.m as testes go thru inguinal canal, they carry parts of ant abdo wall layers with them, surround them in scrotum. fforms the spermatic cord
prostate
below bladder
behind pubic symphysis and in front of rectal ampulla
two ducts pass thru: urethra and ejaculatory duct, and they go into prostatic urethra
bulbourethral gland
two small galnds on either side of membranous urethra
secretions during sexual arousal empty into spongy urethra to lubricate

11. seminiferous tubule
tunica albuginea
dense irregular connective tissue surrounding testis. sends septum into tissue of testes, divides into lobules
also covers columns of erectile tissue in penis
how many lobules in testes? what is in them
- each one contains 2-3 seminiferous tubules, which produce sperm and T
efferent ductulrs
collects sperm.
comes together to form network at centre of testis= rete tesis
efferent ductulrs
collects sperm.
comes together to form network at centre of testis= rete tesis
rete testis
network of efferent ductulres in testi.
drains into epididymis
three division of epididymis
head: receives sperm from seminiferous tubules
tail: continuous with VD

what is ampulla of VD
an enlargement of the vas deferens at the fundus of the bladder which acts as a reservoir for sperm

what 3 columnar structures make up penis
- Pair of corpus cavernosa
- Corpus spongiosum (ventral surface)
○ Urethra passes through (penile urethra AKA spongy urethra)
- Corpus spongiosum (ventral surface)
- corpus cavernosa
- corpus sponguiosum
three columnar structures of errectile tissue
what is at center of corpus spongiosum
penile urethra (aka spongy urethra)
what are columnar structures of penis attached to
pelvic floor and ischiopubic rami at the root of penis
remaining part (known as body) is freely movable
root of penis
fixed.
formed by three masses of erectile tissue: a bulb in middle and two crura on each side
crus of penis
each one sttaches to ishiopubic ramus. covered by and ischiocarnosus muscles
bulb of penis
anchors to the membrane covering inferior surface of external urethra sphincter. carries spongy urethra
