2. Structure and function of the testes in the scrotum
Outline the structure of spermatic cords
Describe the secretions that pass into spermatic fluid,including the
glands that produce them
Processs of ejaculation
Main changes occuring at puberty in the male
3. “Male reproductive system includes a group
of organs that make up a man`s reproductive
and urinary system”
The male reproductive system is made up of internal (inside your
body) and external (outside your body) parts.
6. The scrotum is a pouch of deeply pigmented skin, fibrous and
connective tissue and smooth muscle.
Scrotum is divided into two compartments
Each of which contains one testis, one epididymis and the testicular
end of a spermatic cord.
7. Temperature regulation
Protection (potential injury)
Sperm maturation
Hormonal function
(secondary sexual characters development)
8. The testes, also known as the testicles or male gonads, play
a crucial role in the male reproductive system. Let’s delve into
their anatomy and layers:
The testes are paired, egg-shaped glands suspended within
the scrotum.
Each testis is approximately 4 to 6 centimeters in length
9. Testicular Lobules: These contain interstitial tissue.
Seminiferous Tubules: Responsible for producing spermatozoa
Blood and lymph vessels pass to the testes in the spermatic
cords. Spermatozoa (sperm) are produced in the seminiferous tubules
of the testes, and mature as they pass through the long and
convoluted epididymis, where they are stored. The hormone
controlling sperm production is FSH from the anterior pituitary .
10. They develop retroperitoneally on the posterior abdominal wall and
descend to the scrotum before birth.
11. Tunica Vaginalis: The outermost layer, a double-layered sac that
surrounds each testis.
Tunica Albuginea: An intermediate fibrous capsule that encloses
the testicle and epididymis.
Tunica Vasculosa: The innermost layer containing a network of
blood vessels
