The prostate gland is what type of organ
Secretory
What is the epi of the prostate gland
Columnar but could be cuboidal or squamous
Seminal vesicle has distinct characteristic of
Mucosal folds, many of them to increase surface area
The capsule of the prostate gland emits what into the gland
Septa
Describe lamina propria of seminal vesicle
Elastic tissue with thin layer of smooth muscle
What is found in the interstitial space in seminiferous tubules
CT, capillaries, nerves and leydig cells
Tail piece of sperm contains
Flagellum
What is located in the epi cells of seminal vesicle
Granules to secrete alkaline solution
Main glands in prostate form what
Glycoproteins secretion
Epi of seminal vesicle
Pseudostratified columnar epi
What is type B spermatogonia
Develop into primary spermatocyte
Head part of sperm contains
Acrosome and nucleus
The germinal epithelium in seminiferous tubules are supported by
Basement membrane and tunica propria containing fibroblast and myoid cells
What type of muscle movement is used in ductus deferens
Parastolic
What glands are associated with prostatic cancer
Main glands
Mature sperm consist of
Head, middle piece and tail
Seminal vesicle secretes what
Alkaline solution
What are spermatogonia
Parent cells of sperm
What prostate gland is associated with BPH- benign prostatic hyperplasia
Submucosal gland
What makes up the most glands in the prostate
Main glands
What is present in the tunica of the testis
CT septa
Epi of ductus deferens
Pseudostratified columnar epi with stereocilia
What happens to the glycoproteins secretion from the prostatic main glands
Become concretion which hardens and calcifies and is no longer functional
What glands are a group of glands that empty into a single duct
Submucosal gland
What is seen in the lumen of the seminiferous tubules
Sperms
What is located on the epi of epididymis
Microvillus border made up of stereocilia
What are the direct ducts into the prostatic urethra
Mucosal glands
The lamina propria in ductus deferens contains
CT with elastic
What germ cell is found in the next to the lumen in the seminiferous tubules
Spermatids
Function of sertolli cells
Undergo phagocytosis, secrete seminal fluid, androgen binding protein, inhibin and produce MIF
What are the different types of male germ cells
Spermatogonia, primary and secondary spermatocyte, spermatids and mature sperm
Function of leydig cells
Make testosterone
Epi of epididymis
Pseudostratified columnar
Are leydig cells part of seminiferous tubules
No
What is type A spermatogonia
Undergoes mitosis to create more spermatogonia
The glands of the prostate empty into
Urethra
What are the support cells of the sperm
Sertolli cells
Midpiece of sperm contains
Flagellum and mitochondria
The Septa in the testis form
Testicular lobules
What is present in the testicular lobules
Seminiferous tubules with loose CT
What covers the testis
Dense CT made of collagen called Tunica Albuginea
The epi cells of epididymis is surrounded by
Smooth muscle
The testis serves what two functions
Endocrine and reproductive
What are present in the epi cells of epididymis
Granules
The seminiferous tubules are lined with
Germinal epithelium which is stratified
What surrounds the prostate
Fibroelastic capsule and smooth muscle
Epi of mucosal glands of prostate
Pseudostratified
The gland forms what three layers of the prostate
Mucosal glands, submucosal gland and main part
What is located in the middle of the prostate
Prostatic urethra
Describe muscle of ductus deferens
2 layers, outer longitudinal and inner circular, very thick
Function of stereocilia in epididymis
Move sperm
What is the largest cells in the germinal cells of males
Primary spermatocyte
Appearance of sertolli cell
Found in seminiferous tubules and are elongated pyramidal shaped cells
Germinal epithelium creates what in males
Sperm cells
