Q

What does the SRY gene do?

A

1) Stimulates the mesonephrenic ducts to develop into the male anatomy.
2) At same time the testes secrete MULLERIAN - INHIBITING FACTOR causing degeneration of the paramesophrenic ducts.

Usually descends lower than the right.

So, the 2 are not compressed against each other.

Q

Dartors muscle

A

Underneath the skin, SMOOTH MUSCLE

Contracts when is cold, wrinkling the scrotum, holding the testes against warm body.

Q

Cremaster muscle

A

Strips of the INTERNAL ABDOMINAL OBLIQUE MUSCLE

In cold temperatures: CONTRACTS and draws testes upwards towards the body.

Warm temperatures: RELAXES suspending the testes further from the body.

Q

Functions of Pampiniform plexus

A

Counter counter heat exchanger: without the pampiniform plexus, warm arterial blood would heat the testes and inhibit sperm production.

Removes heat: from the descending arterial blood

Q

Leyding cells

A

Produce testosterone

20
Q

Sertoli cells

A

Protect the germs cells, and promotes their development.

Provide nutrients, waste removal, growth factors and other needs.

21
Q

Efferent ductules

A

Ciliated ducts collecting sperm from rete testes and transporting it to epididymis

22
Q

Duct of the epididymis (head,body, and tail)

A

Site of maturation & storage of sperm.

Sperm is fertile to 40 to 60 days

Sperm mature as they travel through the duct.

If it not ejaculated, they disintegrated and epidimys reabsorbs them

23
Q

Vas deferents (Spermatic duct)

A

From scrotum to Inguinal canal posterior surface of bladder

Duct behind the bladder and widens into the terminal ampulla.

Duct ends by uniting with duct of the seminal vesicles.

24
Q

Ejaculatory duct (Spermatic duct)

A

Formed from ducts deferents & seminal vesicles.

Passes through prostate to empty the urethra.

25
What does the spermatic duct consist of ?
3 regions: Prostatic Membranous Spongy (penile) urethra
26
Seminal Vesicles (Accesory glands)
Forms 60% of semen Empties into the ejaculatory duct. Pair of glands posterior to the bladder.
27
Prostate glands (Accesory glands)
Thin milky secretion forms 30% of semen. Surrounds the urethra and ejaculatory duct just inferior to the bladder.
28
Bulbourethral (Cowper) glands (ACCESORY GLANDS)
Near bulb of penis Produce a clear slippery fluids Lubricates the head of the penis. Protects the sperms. Neutralizes the acidity of residual urine in the urethra
29
Penis Functions of the cylindrical bodies of the erectile tissues
Fill with blood during sexual arousal and account for its enlargement and erection.
30
3 cylindrical bodies of erectile tissue
Composed of: A SINGLE Corpus spongiosum along ventral side of the penis 2 Corpora carvernosa
31
Corpus spongiosum
Encloses spongy (penile) urethra. Distal ends enlarges and forms the glands penis. Proximal end ends as a dilated bulb ensheathed by bulbospongiosus muscle
32
Corpora cavernosa
Diverge like arms of a Y. Each arms called CRUS attaches penis to pubic arch. Covered with ISCHIOCAVERNUS MUSCLE
33
Spermatozoon have 2 parts
Head & TAIL
34
Head of spermatozoon
Nucleus: contains of haploid set of chromosomes Acromosome: enzyme cap over the apical half of the nucleus that contains ENZYMES THAT PENETRATES THE EGGS. Basal body: where the flagellum attaches.
35
Tail of spermatozoon
Divided into 3 regions: Midpiece: contains mitochondria around abóneme of the flagella, produces ATP for flagelar movement. Principal piece: is axoneme surrounded by sheath of supporting fibers. *** Constitute of most of the tail. Endpiece: is very narrow tip of flagella
36
Semen (seminal fluid)
Fluid expelled during the orgasm 2 to 5mL of fluids expelled during ejaculation. 60% seminal vesicles fluid. 30% prostatic fluid. 10% spermatic duct secretion. Normal sperm count: 50 to 120 million/mL lower than that INFERTILITY
37
Phases of man intercourses
``` Divided into 4 phases: Excitement Plateau Orgasm Resolution REMEMBER ***R.O.P.E**** ```
38
Internal Pudendal Artery Division | DORSAL ARTERY
Travels under skin on dorsal surface. Blood to skin and CORPUS SPONGIOSUM Penis is flaccid
39
Internal Pudendal Artery Division | DEEP ARTERY
Travels through the core of the CORPUS CAVERNOSA Fills lacunae causing ERECTION Many anastasomes Unite deep and dorsal arteries.
40
Internal Pudendal Artery Division | DEEP DORSAL VEIN
Drains blood from penis
41
Innervation of the penis | GLANDS RECEPTORS
Tactile Pressure Temperatures
42
Innervation of the penis | INTERNAL PUDENDAL NERVES
Lead to integrating center. The sacral spinal cord
43
Innervation of the penis: | Sympathetic
Induce and erection Response to inputs from special senses and to the sexual thoughts.
44
Innervation of the penis | PARASYMPATHETIC
Induce ejaculation | Response to direct stimulation of the penis.
45
Sperm
Sperm is fertile to 40 to 60 days Sperm mature as they travel through the duct. If it not ejaculated, they disintegrated and epidimys reabsorbs them
