Q

what situation use ICSI?

A

Sperm unable to motile and azoospermia → biopsy take sperm from testes → ICSI inject into ova

Q

Hypothalamus(GnRH- Gonadotrophin releasing hormone) → Anterior Pituitary → Gonadotroph → FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) + LH(Luteinising hormone → (LH pathway) → blood stream → testes → bind receptor of Leydig cells(outside seminiferous tubules) → Testosterone(Dihydrotestosterone → second characteristics) → FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) pathway → blood stream → testes → bind receptor of Sertoli cell(inside seminiferous tubules) → Androgen binding protein(provide soluble in water for testosterone - can travel in blood) → Testosterone + Sertoli cells → Fully mature sperm(androgen binding protein binds to testosterone to support production of sperm) → Testosterone negative feedback to hypothalamus(level down GnRH produce) + anterior pituitary(Gonadotroph)(down regulate FSH and LH) → Inhibin(when FSH touch Sertoli cell, production) → anterior pituitary down regulate FSH

What is this process?

A

Spermatogenesis

Spermatogonia do not develop to sperm without testosterone

Q

Whole process about sperm ejection

A

Hypothalamus(GnRH- Gonadotrophin releasing hormone) → Anterior Pituitary → Gonadotroph → FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) + LH(Luteinising hormone → (LH pathway) → blood stream → testes → bind receptor of Leydig cells(outside seminiferous tubules) → Testosterone(Dihydrotestosterone → second characteristics) → FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) pathway → blood stream → testes → bind receptor of Sertoli cell(inside seminiferous tubules) → Androgen binding protein(provide soluble in water for testosterone - can travel in blood) → Testosterone + Sertoli cells → Fully mature sperm(androgen binding protein binds to testosterone to support production of sperm) → Testosterone negative feedback to hypothalamus(level down GnRH produce) + anterior pituitary(Gonadotroph)(down regulate FSH and LH) → Inhibin(when FSH touch Sertoli cell, production) → anterior pituitary down regulate FSH → Sperm into seminiferous tubules → Rete testis → efferent duct → epididymis(sperm can motile and fertilize in this stage, also reabsorbed liquid from around to concentrated) → Ductus vas deferens(45 cm long, store couple month) → Ejaculatory duct(over urinary bladder) with seminal vesicles[alkaline, fructose as energy(push sperm to the ovary & uterine), prostaglandins, clotting proteins(stick on vagina to make sure fertilize occurs), after sperm ejected from ductus vas deferens, the content of seminal vesicles empty immediately wash sperm down the ejaculatory duct(push force)] and prostate[prostate fluid(acidic, milky colour, phosphate and calcium, citrate for ATP, prostate specific antigen and some enzymes, neutralised in semen) into urethra during ejaculation] → prostate urethra(20 cm long), sperm, content of seminal vesicle, prostate fluid → urethra → ejaculation

Q

Erection

A

Blood fills cavernous spaces of corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum → NO and prostaglandin E1 relax smooth muscle of the corpora cavernosa → erection(erect penis contains 8 times blood volume of flaccid penis)

Q

Relax smooth muscle in corpora cavernosa require cGMP(Guanosine Monophosphate, also is second messenger reduce intracellular calcium), phosphodiesterase breaks down GMP

True or False?

Q

Viagra principle

A

inhibits phosphodiesterase(type 5) → increase GMP(guanosine monophosphate) → relax artery(vasodilation) → blood go to corpora cavernosa → erection
