Male Reproductive Duct Flashcards
A Pouch hanging below the pendulous pens
Scrotum
What happen to Scrotum when cold temperature
Dartos muscle and Cremaster muscle Contract
What happen to scrotum when in Warm environment
dartos muscle annd cremaster muscle relax
why scrotum need to contract and relax?
because in this way the scrotum enables the testes a constant temperature if the temp is too low and too high spermatogenesis will not take place
PENIS contains 3 Cloumns of Erectile tissue what are those?
2 Corpora Cavernosa and 1
corpora Spongiosum
Forms the Dorsal portion and the sides.
Corpora Cavernosa
Expands over the distal end to form the Glans Penis
Corpora Spongiosum
Men’s Sensitive part called?
Glans Penis
Penis are covered by foreskin called
Prepuce
Provide supply of blood in the penis
Penile Artery
Tip of the Penis / Passageway of semen and urine
Urethral Meatus
how penile erection occur During sexual stimulation
Blood Congestion in Penile Area
Responsible for Penile Erection
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Engorgement of erectile tissue with blood
Erection
cm of testes
2-3 cm
Decent
It’s important
Responsible for Testosterone
Intestinal/ Leydig cell
Responsible of spermatogenesis
seminiferous tubules
Responsible for noursih and protect in testes
Sertoli cells
Sertoli cells also called
Supporting cells
Role of Sertoli cells
sperm transport
epididymis cm
6
Responsible for conduction of sperm from testis to the vas deferens
Epididymis
Site of masturation of sperm
Epididymis
storage of sperm
Epididymis
days to transfer sperm to testis
12-20 days
days of sperm to become mature
64 days
New sperm is generated every
74 days
Functional life of spermcells
48-72 hours (2-3 days)
sperm cells contain
Hyaluronidase
Seminal fluid Direction
Seminal Vesicle - Prostate Gland - Bulbourethral Gland
Are 2 Conuoluted Pouches
Seminal Vesicle
Lie along the lower portion of the posterior surface of the Bladder
Seminal Vesicle
Seminal Vesicle secrets how many percent of fluid secrete what??
30% secretes acidic
Lie below the bladder like the hole of doughnot
Protates
Prostate secretes how many percent of fluid secrete what?
60% of fluid Alkaline
Secretes alkaline that protects sperm and how many percent?
Bulbourethral Glands secret 5%
Located below the prostate
Cowper’s glandr
Provides lubrication for semen
Cowper’s Gland or bulbourethral Gland
where are the other 5% in seminal fluid?
it’s in the sperm
Conduit sperm
Vas deferens
Conduit semen
Ejaculatory duct
Carriers sperm from epididymis to the inguinal cavity into the abdominal muscle and end at the seminal vesicle and ejaculatory ducts
Epididymis
Epididymis pattern
from epididymis to the inguinal cavity into the abdominal muscle and end at the seminal vesicle and ejaculatory ducts
Conduct pathway or spermatozoa
Vas deferens
Pass through the Prostate gland they join the seminal vesicle with the urethra
Ejaculatory duct
Meet of seminal fluid and sperm
Ejaculatory duct
Hollow tube leading from the base of the bladder that continue to the outside the shaft and glands penis
Urethra
Sperm journey
Seminiferous tubules to epididymis to vas deferens to ejaculatory duct to urethra
undescended testes; remains in the abdominal cavity
Cryptorchidism
- Mgt: Cryptorchidism
orchiopexy - physician stitches the testes into the scrotum
organ of copulation
- Penis
