Q

a collection of serous fluid within the tunica vaginalis. The congenital form is most commonly due to a failure of the processus vaginalis
to close. Adult hydrocele is often associated with inflammation or trauma and
rarely, testicular tumors.

25
``` gross dilation of the veins draining the testes. The left testicle is more commonly affected, as the left testicular vein is longer and drains into the left renal vein at a perpendicular angle.A large varicocoele can look and feel like a “bag of worms” within the scrotum Varicocoele is quite common in the general population; its prevalence is estimated at 15-25%. ```
Varicocele
26
inflammation of the epididymis, usually caused by bacterial or viral infection
Epididymitis
27
``` is a surgical emergency, where the spermatic cord twists upon itself. This can lead to strangulation of the testicular artery, resulting in necrosis of the testis. ```
Testicular torsion
28
1. Provide mechanical support and protection to the developing germ cells. 2. Provide nutrition for the developing germ cells. 3. Play an active role in the release of spermatozoa. 4. Phagocytosis of cellular fragments. 5. Formation of blood-testis permeability barrier.
Functions of the Sertoli Cells
29
release spermatozoa
sertoli cell
30
refers to the entire sequence of events wherein spermatogonia are transformed into spermatozoa.
Spermatogenesis
31
Process by which spermatogonia | develop into sperm
(74 days)
32
Factors affecting Spermatogenesis:
``` ◼Dietary deficiencies ◼Infections ◼Elevated testicular temperature ◼Steroid hormones ◼Toxic agents ◼Radiation ```
33
Hormonal regulation of Male Reproductive System
Anterior Pituitary Gland or Adenohypophysis FSH LH
34
stimulates | spermatogenesis
FSH
35
stimulates Leydig cells to | secrete testosterone
LH
36
it is alkali which neutralizes the acidic environment of vagina
semen
37
