McIntyre- surgical approach to male repro. disorders Flashcards
______ can inhibit sperm motility
lubricants
patient’s progressive motility high or low
very low
varicocele
dilation of pampiniform plexus
varicocele
L or R side more common spot for varicocele
L side
exists to regulate temperature and wash down toxin metabolites from kidney and wash away oxidative stress and ROS
scrotum
top to bottom
top: skin
dartos
external spermatic fascia
cremaster muscle
internal spermatic fascia
tunica vaginalis
hydrocele
collection of fluid in tunica vaginalis
hydrocele
development the testis start in abdomen and migrate to scrotum (gubernaculum brings them down); if canal stays open, intra-abdominal fluid builds up (patent process vaginalis)
infantile hydrocele
why you never want to go below inguinal ligament
femoral a, n, v are there
testes drop through what during their descent
inguinal canal
a form of surgical sterilization by which the vas deferens is divided or damaged to the point it will no longer transport sperm
vasectomy
role of epididymis
sperm maturation and storage
vasectomy (isolate vas deferens)
Complete absence of sperm or presence of nonmotile sperm in semen after procedure means what
successful vasectomy
time of vasectomy to time of reversal; sperm backs up in epididymis
obstructive interval
steps of sperm transport
created in seminiferous tubules
stored in epididymis
move from epididymis to vas deferens
mix with fluids from seminal vesicles and prostate
travel through ejaculatory duct, prostate, and urethra and exit
diploid cells
spermatogonia and primary spermatocyte
haploid cells
secondary spermatocyte, spermatids, and sperm cells
____ to ____ after the 1st meiotic division
spermatogonia to primary spermatocyte
primary spermatocyte to ______ then to spermatid and sperm cells
secondary spermatocyte
____ region of epididymis is where sperm gains ability to fertilize
cauda (tail region)
______to inguinal ring obstruction to vas deferens is reversible
external
come together to form ejaculatory duct
vas deferense, seminal vesicles, and ampulla
useful surgical anatomy to identify what first
vas deferens
no sperm seen on semen analysis
Azoospermia
vas deferens absent in what main disease
CF
The vas is unable to form embryonically due to thickened secretions lack of canalization
Seminal vesicles are also atretic
CF
semen volume mainly from what
fluid from seminal vesicles
primordial bladder
cloaca
_____ descends over time
Vas (Wolffian duct)
