Answer 4

seminiferous tubules

Question 5

Four cell stages of spermatogenesis in seminiferous tubules:

Answer 5

Answer 12

25-27

Question 13

Pillar like cells that extend from the basement membrane to the lumen of the seminiferous tubule:

Answer 13

Sertoli cells

Question 14

Blood-testes barrier formed by:

Answer 14

Sertoli cells

Question 15

Cells with FSH receptors:***

Answer 15

Sertoli cells

Question 16

Cells that produce androgen binding protein

Answer 16

Sertoli cells

Question 17

Testosterone producing cells:

Answer 17

Leydig

**extensive smooth ER

Question 18

LH act on _______ cells.

Answer 18

Leydig

Question 19

Cells that produce inhibin:

Answer 19

Sertoli

Question 20

Cryptorchidism effect on androgen production:

Why?

Answer 20

None

Leydig’s are not temperature sensitive

Question 21

What does inhibin do?

Answer 21

Sertoli cells –> negative feedback on pituitary –> inhibits FSH release

**inhibits FSH release

Question 22

What is the negative feedback mechanism on both the hypothalamus and the pituitary:

Answer 22

testosterone from Leydigs

Question 23

Path for sperm after leaving the seminiferous tubule:

Answer 23

Straight tubule –>

Rete testis –>

Efferent ductules –>

Ductus epidiymis –>

Vas deferens –>

Ampulla of vas deferens –>

Ejaculatory duct –>

Urethra

Answer 25

Epididymis

Question 26

Three SM layers lamina propria

Answer 26

Vas deferens

Question 27

contributes FRUCTOSE to semen:

Answer 27

seminal vesicles

Question 28

LOTS of stroma:

Answer 28
