25
what is the type A dark cells in spermatogonia
stem cell reserve - mitosis to replace themselves and maintain stem cell reserve
26
what is light in type a cells
renewing stem cells committed to differentiate but first undergo mitotic divisiosn to increase number
27
type b in spermatogonia
last step in spermatogonial phase
28
what do type b spermatogonia undergo
meiosis to produce primary spermatocytes
29
what do type b spermatogonia immediately replicate and for how long
DNA and enter prophase I of meiosis in22 days
30
after type b spermatogonia undergo first meiotic division to become
primary spermatocytes
31
do secondary spermatocytes replicate dna
no as they immediately enter prophase II of meiosis
32
what do secondary spermatocytes complete to form
2nd meiotic division to form spermatids (few hours)
33
are there changes to dna or cell divison in spermatids
no
34
what do spermatids transform into
mature sperm = spermiogenesis
35
what do spermatids physically attach to
sertoli cells during transformation
36
where does the final matturation of spermatoza occurs in
epididymis
37
what does the head of epididymis contain
acrosome - enzymes to penetrate zona pellucida for fertilisation
38
function of sertoli cells
nutrients and growth factors, remove wastes and BLOOD TESTIES BARRIER
39
what is blood testis barrier unique to
sertoli cells - junctional complex
40
what does blood testis barrier have which is very tight
tight junctions zona occludens
41
what does blood testis barrier segregates
pre-meiotic and post - meiotic
42
what is post meiotic
different dna
43
can antigens produced by sperm enter blood testies barrier
cant enter ciruclation
44
what happens if BTB fails
infertilisation
45
where is sperm manufactured in
testes
46
where is the storage and maturation of sperm in
epididymis
47
what does ejaculation forces sperm into
vas deferens
48
what does sperm meet with
seminal vesicles to form ejaculatory duct
49
where does sperm passes through and emptis into
seminal vessicles urethra
50
where does contraction occur in ejaculation
vas deferens *sperm) seminal vesicles and prostate and expel fluid
51
where does immature sperm enter epidiymis
at head (incapable of infertilisation)
52
how long does sperm take to travel through epidiemyis and undergo further maturation
12 days
53
where is mature sperm expelled from
tail into vas deferens at ej..
54
what is epididymis lined with
pseudostratified epithelium
55
what is the prinicapl cell of epididymis
stereocilia > absorptive
56
what happens in vas deferens
strong peristalltic contractions at emission carry sperm from epididymis to seminal vesicles
57
list the layers of vas deferens
inner longitudinal middle circular outer longitudinal
58
what combbines with vas deferens to form ejaculatory duct
short excretory duct
59
what does seminal vesicle product
70% of seminal plasma
60
function of seminal vesicle
fructose > main energy source for sperm
61
what does prostate surround
neck of bladder and urethra
62
how many compound tubuloalveolar glands does prostate contains
30-50
63
how many percentage of seminal plasma does prostate produces
30%
64
function of prostate
enzymes liquify semen after ejaculation
65
what allows for passage of urine and sperm
prostatic urethra
66
what is prostate surrounded by
fibromuscular stroma > contractions at ejaculation
67
where do glands of prostate empty into
prostatic urethra
68
where do bulbourethral glands empty into
penile urethra
69
function of bulb . glands
