Q

Tunica vaginalis

A

Covers each testis

17
Q

Tunica albuginea

A

White coat on testes

18
Q

Septum created from tunica albuginea divides testes into

A

250 to 300 wedge shaped lobules

19
Q

Seminiferous tubules

A

Ducts where sperm are produced

20
Q

Seminiferous tubules contain

A

Spermatozoon is (stem/germ cell)

21
Q

Spermatogenesis

A

Production of sperm cells

Spermatocytes go through meiosis I and meiosis II and make 4 spermatic

22
Q

functions of Sustentacular (serotonin) cells

A
  1. Protect germ cells and stimulate development

2. Provide nutrients, waste removal, growth factors etc to germ cells

23
Q

Interstitial (leadings) cells

A

Produce testosterone

24
Q

Sperm passageway

A

‘SEVEN UP’

Seminiferous tubules

Epididymis

Vas/ ductus deferents (and seminal vesicular)

Ejaculatory duct

N/A

Urethra

Penis

25
Q

What are the accessory organs of male reproductive system

A

Seminal vesicles

Prostate gland

Bulbourethral glands

Scrotal sac encloses testes

26
Q

Spermiogenesis

A

Spermatic differentiate into spermatozoa (physical maturation of sperm)

ACTUAL MOBILE SPERM FORMATION

Changes that transform spermatids into spermatozoa

Discarding excess cytoplasm and growing tails

27
Q

Head of spermatooon

A

Nucleus and densely packed chromosomes

28
Q

Middle piece of spermatozoon

A

Mitochondria that produce the ATP needed to move the tail

29
Q

Tail of spermatozoon

A

The only cell with flagellum in the human body

It enables the spermatozoa to swim

30
Q

Blood testis barrier (BTB)

A

Formed by tight junctions between sustentacular cells

Separates sperm from immune system

Prevents antibodies from getting to the germ cells

Germ cells would be attacked by the immune system
