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
- epididymis
2.VD
3.bulbourethral gland
4.prostate
5.ejaculatory duct
6.seminal vesicle
7.rectovesical pouch
8.peeeeeen
ejaculatory duct
formed by fusoin of lumen VD and seminal vesicle. joins to prostatic urethra
rectovesical pouch
formed due to peritoneal reflection
