prostate
testes located in the
scrotum
scrotum sac anterior to
perineum
dartos muscle wrinkles
scrotum
two muscles for scrotum
dartos muscle
cremaster muscle
cremaster muscle pulls
testes to the body
testes begin development in the
periotneal cavity
7th month of gestation
testis push through the floor to make the inguinal
inguinal hernia is when
small intestine passes into the inguinal canals
if testes do not descend
cryptorchidism
spermatic cord passes through
inguinal canal
spermatic cord parts
pampiniform plexus
testiculary artery
pampiniform plexus helps
cool down blood
vas deferens goes from
epidymis to urethra
interstitial endocrine leydig cells produce
androgens aka testostorone
nurse sertoli cells functions
secrete hormones, support sperm development/maturation and maintain blood testis barrier
spermatogeneis produces
4 haploid cells called spermatids
spermatids undergo spermiogenesis to produce
matuere sperm
tail of sperm called
flagellum
head of sperm is called
acrosome
sperm development takes
7 weeks
