Covers each testis

17
Q

Tunica albuginea

A

White coat on testes

18
Q

Septum created from tunica albuginea divides testes into

A

250 to 300 wedge shaped lobules

19
Q

Seminiferous tubules

A

Ducts where sperm are produced

20
Q

Seminiferous tubules contain

A

Spermatozoon is (stem/germ cell)

21
Q

Spermatogenesis

A

Production of sperm cells

Spermatocytes go through meiosis I and meiosis II and make 4 spermatic

22
Q

functions of Sustentacular (serotonin) cells

A
  1. Protect germ cells and stimulate development

2. Provide nutrients, waste removal, growth factors etc to germ cells

23
Q

Interstitial (leadings) cells

A

Produce testosterone

24
Q

Sperm passageway

A

‘SEVEN UP’

Seminiferous tubules

Epididymis

Vas/ ductus deferents (and seminal vesicular)

Ejaculatory duct

N/A

Urethra

Penis

25
What are the accessory organs of male reproductive system
Seminal vesicles Prostate gland Bulbourethral glands Scrotal sac encloses testes
26
Spermiogenesis
Spermatic differentiate into spermatozoa (physical maturation of sperm) ACTUAL MOBILE SPERM FORMATION Changes that transform spermatids into spermatozoa Discarding excess cytoplasm and growing tails
27
Head of spermatooon
Nucleus and densely packed chromosomes
28
Middle piece of spermatozoon
Mitochondria that produce the ATP needed to move the tail
29
Tail of spermatozoon
The only cell with flagellum in the human body It enables the spermatozoa to swim
30
Blood testis barrier (BTB)
Formed by tight junctions between sustentacular cells Separates sperm from immune system Prevents antibodies from getting to the germ cells Germ cells would be attacked by the immune system
