What is this an image of?
Efferent ductules bc they are going up and down
What is this a picture of
The epididmyis, it kind of resembles the seminephrous tubules but the main distinction is the fact that the psedoustratified columnar epithelium is completely seprate from the rest
What is this a picture of
Vas/ductus defrens since it looks like a duct

What is the epithelium, type of gland, layers, and function of the seminal vesicals?
Type:
Simple tubular, coiled gland
Paired gland
Layers:
Mucosa:
multiple folds giving a honeycomb-like appearance
Epithelium + Lamina Propria (LP)
Pseudo stratified columnar or
Simple columnar
LP is thin and elastic
Muscular layer: thin layer of smooth muscle
Adventitia
thin elastic & blends with surrounding CT
Function:
Secretion of 70% of the seminal fluid.
It nourishes and transports sperms.
It has nutrients for the sperms:
fructose
amino acid
vitamin C
prostaglandins
What is the epithelium, type of gland, layers, and function of the Prostate?
Type:
Single gland
30-50 branched
tubulo-alveolar glands,
In three concentric layers
Embedded in a
Fibro-muscular stroma
Mucosa:
Pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium + LP
In old prostate glands: Prostatic concretions/stones develop in the lumen: “corpora amylacea”.
They appear eosinophilic spherical rings.
Function:
Secretion of 25% of the seminal fluid
It nourishes and transports sperms
It is alkaline to buffer acidity of urine
What type of glands does each zone of the prostate contain?
Transitional zone (purple) surrounds the prostatic urethra. 5% glands.
This zone has the** mucosal glands**, secrete directly to urethra.
Central zone (yellow) surrounds the ejaculatory ducts. 25% glands.
This zone has the submucosal glands. After merging, their ducts open into posterior wall of urethra.
Peripheral zone (pink) is on the posterior and lateral side of the prostate. 70% glands.
This zone has the main glands. After merging, their ducts open into posterior wall of urethra.
