Male Repro Histo Flashcards
hormonal control of testes (3)
- FSH - supports maturation of sertoli and leydig cells and maintains spermatogenesis
- Leutinizing hormone - stimulates synthesis and release of testosterone by interstitial cells
- Testosteron e maintians spermatogenesis, male duct morphology,
accessory sex gland function, secondary sex characteristics
prostatic eurethra morphology
membranous urethra
penile urethra
prostatic - transitional epithelium
membranous urethra - pseudostratified columnar
penile - stratifed pseudostratified columanr
phases of spermatogenesis
spermtocytogenesis - mitosis and maintaining stem cell population
meisosis/spermatocyte phase - primary spermatocytes becomes spermatids
spermiogenesis - round spermatids become mature sperm
prostatic concretions
percipitate of prostatic secretions
branches of central erectile tissue arteries
helicine arteries
somatic cells that span the full thickness of the seminifrerous epithelium
contain mitochondira, rER, large golgi
Sertoli cells
capsule surrounding the semiferous tubules, external to basement membrane containing 3-5 layers of myoid cells
tunica propria
ejaculatory duct cell morphology
simple columanr epithelium
smooth muscle coat
efferent ductules morpholgy
collumnar epithelium
scalloped border
basal cells regenerating epithelium
thin circular layer of smooth muscle
ductus epididymis cell morphology
pseuostratifeid columanr epithelium
branced steerocillia on tall principle cells
tall epithelial cells contian coated vesicles
thicker smooth muscle layers
ductus (vas) deferens cell morphology
columnar epitheilium with long microvili
3 muscle layers - longitudinal, circular, long
expands to form Ampulla of uctus
straight tbules epithelium consists only of ___
empty into rete testes
sertoli cells
penile erectile tissues bound by
tunica albuginea
