histology of reproductive system Flashcards
(47 cards)
testis is made up
capsule septa reticular connective tissue
capsule of the testis
3 layers
- tunica vaginalis is simple squamous mesothelium
formed of inner ( visceral ) and outer (parietal ) layer - tunica albuginea under tunica vaginalis is collagenous
fibres , thick posterior to form mediastinum of testis - tunica vasculosa under tunica albuginea is CT, rich in
blood capillaries
septa of the testis
Is connective tissue fibers from tunica albuginea extend to testis to divided the testis into 250 lobules each lobule contains 1 to 4 seminiferous tubules
reticular tissue of the testis
is connective fibers and cells which form testicular lobules (parenchyma of testis )
basement membrane surrounding seminiferous tubules
is made up of connective tissue and smooth cells
cells of the seminiferous tubules
two types
spermatogenic sertoli cells
interstitial cells cells of leydig
formation of sperm
spermatogonia type A ( stem cells) spermatogonia types B primary spermatocytes secondary sprmatocytes spermatid sperm or spermatozoa
simple columnar cells between spermatogenic cells
sertoli cells
function of sertoli
nutrition support phagocytic cell
form blood testis barrier secretes inhibitor hormones which inhibit FSH , so control spermatogenesis
secretes testicular fluid rich in androgen binding protein (ABP ) which promotes action of testestrone and FSH
controls spermatogenesis
FSH
promotes action of testestrone and FSH
androgen binding protein (ABP )
outside the tubules secretes testosterone
leydig cells
genital ducts consist of
intra testicular ducts
extra testicular ducts
intra testicular ducts consist of
tubuli recti and rete testis
extra testicular ducts consist of
vasa efferentia epididymis vas deferens ejaculatory duct male urethra
tubuli recti is made up of
simple columnar cells from seminiferous tubules to rete testis
rete testis is made up of
simple cuboid cells from rete testis to vasa efferentia
vasa efferentia is made up of
columnar ciliated cell and few cells is non ciliated from rete testis to epididymis
epididymis is made up of
pseudo-stratified columnar ciliated epithelium but cilia non mobile (sterocilia) from vasa efferentia to vas deferen
vas deferens is made up of
mucosa epithelium
pseudo-stratified columnar ciliated epithelium but cilia non mobile
but the upper part is pseudo-stratified columnar non ciliated epithelium and connective tissue
musculosa is smooth muscles inner and outer longitudinal and middle circular
adventitia is connective tissue
ejaculatory duct is made up of
vas deferens and seminal vesicle line by simple columnar or pseudo-stratified columnar
seminal vesicles is made up of
tubular gland formed of
mucosa formed by columnar cells connective tissue smooth muscles and elastic fibers
mucosal formed of inner circular and outer longitudinal smooth muscles
adventitia formed of connective tissue
prostate is made up of
tubuio-alveolar gland formed by
capsule : is connective tissue and smooth muscles
septa : is fibro-muscular septa extend from capsule to divided the glang into lobules
parenchyma : formed of glands
penis is made up of
formed by
two corpus cavernosa and one corpus spongiosum
each corpus formed of blood space smooth muscles collagenous and elastic fibres
covered by tunica albuginea fascia of penis and skin
