Function of the male reproductive
system and Spermatogenesis
Dr. Maria Idrees; PT
INTRODUCTION
• Reproductive system ensures the continuation
of species.
• Gonads are the primary reproductive organs
which produce the gametes (egg or ovum); a
pair of testes (singular = testis) produces
sperms in males and a pair of ovaries
produces ovum in females.
• Reproductive organs include:
1. Primary sex organs
2. Accessory sex organs
Primary Sex Organs
Testes are the primary sex organs or gonads in
males.
Accessory Sex Organs
Accessory sex organs in males are:
1. Seminal vesicles
2. Prostate gland
3. Urethra
4. Penis.
FUNCTIONS OF TESTES
• Testes performs two functions:
1. Gametogenic function: Spermatogenesis
2. Endocrine function: Secretion of hormones.
GAMETOGENIC FUNCTIONS OF TESTES –
SPERMATOGENESIS
• Spermatogenesis is the process by which the
male gametes called spermatozoa (sperms) are
formed from the primitive spermatogenic cells
(spermatogonia) in the testis.
• It takes 74 days for the formation of sperm from
a primitive germ cell.
STAGES OF SPERMATOGENESIS
Spermatogenesis occurs in four stages:
• 1. Stage of proliferation
• 2. Stage of growth
• 3. Stage of maturation
• 4. Stage of transformation
1. Stage of Proliferation
• Each spermatogonium contains diploid number (23
pairs) of chromosomes.
• One member of each pair is from maternal origin and
the other one from paternal origin.
• The 23 pairs include 22 pairs of autosomal
chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.
• During the proliferative stage, spermatogonia divide by
mitosis, without any change in chromosomal number.
• In man, there are usually seven generations of
spermatogonia.
• The last generation enters the stage of growth as
primary spermatocyte.
2. Stage of Growth
• In this stage, the primary spermatocyte grows
into a large cell.
• Apart from growth, there is no other change
in spermatocyte during this stage.
3. Stage of Maturation
• After reaching the full size, each primary
spermatocyte quickly undergoes meiotic or
maturation division, which occurs in two phases:
• First phase
• In the first phase, each primary spermatocyte
divides into two secondary spermatocytes.
• The significance of the first meiotic division is
that each secondary spermatocyte receives only
the haploid or half the number of chromosomes
• Second phase
• During this phase, each secondary
spermatocyte undergoes second meiotic
division, resulting in two smaller cells called
spermatids.
• Each spermatid has haploid number of
chromosomes.
4. Stage of Transformation
• There is no further division.
• Spermatids are transformed into matured
spermatozoa (sperms), by means of
spermeogenesis and released by spermination.
• Changes taking place during spermeogenesis:
i. Condensation of nuclear material
ii. Formation of acrosome, mitochondrial spiral
filament and tail structures
iii. Removal of extraneous (extra volume of
nonessential) cytoplasm.
ENDOCRINE FUNCTIONS OF TESTES
HORMONES SECRETED BY TESTES
• Testes secrete male sex hormones, which are
collectively called the androgens.
• Androgens secreted by testes are:
1. Testosterone
2. Dihydrotestosterone
3. Androstenedione.
FUNCTIONS OF TESTOSTERONE
• In general, testosterone is responsible for the
distinguishing characters of masculine body.
• It also plays an important role in fetal life.
Functions of Testosterone in Fetal Life Testosterone
performs three functions in fetus:
1. Sex differentiation in fetus
2. Development of accessory sex organs
3. Descent of the testes.
Cryptorchidism
• Cryptorchidism is a congenital disorder
characterized by the failure of one or both the
testes to descent from abdomen into scrotum.
• In such case, the testes are called
undescended testes.
• Males with untreated testes are prone for
testicular cancer.
Functions of Testosterone in Adult Life
1. Effect on sex organs: Testosterone increases the
size of penis, scrotum and the testes after
puberty. All these organs are enlarged at least 8
folds between the onset of puberty and the age
of 20 years.
2. Effect on secondary sexual characters: Secondary
sexual characters are the physical and behavioral
characteristics that distinguish the male from
female. These characters appear at the time of
puberty in humans. (muscular and bone growth,
skin and voice changes)

Male reproductive system

  • 1. Function of the male reproductive system and Spermatogenesis Dr. Maria Idrees; PT
  • 2. INTRODUCTION • Reproductive system ensures the continuation of species. • Gonads are the primary reproductive organs which produce the gametes (egg or ovum); a pair of testes (singular = testis) produces sperms in males and a pair of ovaries produces ovum in females.
  • 3. • Reproductive organs include: 1. Primary sex organs 2. Accessory sex organs Primary Sex Organs Testes are the primary sex organs or gonads in males. Accessory Sex Organs Accessory sex organs in males are: 1. Seminal vesicles 2. Prostate gland 3. Urethra 4. Penis.

  • 5. FUNCTIONS OF TESTES • Testes performs two functions: 1. Gametogenic function: Spermatogenesis 2. Endocrine function: Secretion of hormones. GAMETOGENIC FUNCTIONS OF TESTES – SPERMATOGENESIS • Spermatogenesis is the process by which the male gametes called spermatozoa (sperms) are formed from the primitive spermatogenic cells (spermatogonia) in the testis. • It takes 74 days for the formation of sperm from a primitive germ cell.
  • 6. STAGES OF SPERMATOGENESIS Spermatogenesis occurs in four stages: • 1. Stage of proliferation • 2. Stage of growth • 3. Stage of maturation • 4. Stage of transformation
  • 7. 1. Stage of Proliferation • Each spermatogonium contains diploid number (23 pairs) of chromosomes. • One member of each pair is from maternal origin and the other one from paternal origin. • The 23 pairs include 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. • During the proliferative stage, spermatogonia divide by mitosis, without any change in chromosomal number. • In man, there are usually seven generations of spermatogonia. • The last generation enters the stage of growth as primary spermatocyte.
  • 8. 2. Stage of Growth • In this stage, the primary spermatocyte grows into a large cell. • Apart from growth, there is no other change in spermatocyte during this stage.
  • 9. 3. Stage of Maturation • After reaching the full size, each primary spermatocyte quickly undergoes meiotic or maturation division, which occurs in two phases: • First phase • In the first phase, each primary spermatocyte divides into two secondary spermatocytes. • The significance of the first meiotic division is that each secondary spermatocyte receives only the haploid or half the number of chromosomes
  • 10. • Second phase • During this phase, each secondary spermatocyte undergoes second meiotic division, resulting in two smaller cells called spermatids. • Each spermatid has haploid number of chromosomes.
  • 11. 4. Stage of Transformation • There is no further division. • Spermatids are transformed into matured spermatozoa (sperms), by means of spermeogenesis and released by spermination. • Changes taking place during spermeogenesis: i. Condensation of nuclear material ii. Formation of acrosome, mitochondrial spiral filament and tail structures iii. Removal of extraneous (extra volume of nonessential) cytoplasm.

  • 15. ENDOCRINE FUNCTIONS OF TESTES HORMONES SECRETED BY TESTES • Testes secrete male sex hormones, which are collectively called the androgens. • Androgens secreted by testes are: 1. Testosterone 2. Dihydrotestosterone 3. Androstenedione.
  • 16. FUNCTIONS OF TESTOSTERONE • In general, testosterone is responsible for the distinguishing characters of masculine body. • It also plays an important role in fetal life. Functions of Testosterone in Fetal Life Testosterone performs three functions in fetus: 1. Sex differentiation in fetus 2. Development of accessory sex organs 3. Descent of the testes.
  • 17. Cryptorchidism • Cryptorchidism is a congenital disorder characterized by the failure of one or both the testes to descent from abdomen into scrotum. • In such case, the testes are called undescended testes. • Males with untreated testes are prone for testicular cancer.
  • 18. Functions of Testosterone in Adult Life 1. Effect on sex organs: Testosterone increases the size of penis, scrotum and the testes after puberty. All these organs are enlarged at least 8 folds between the onset of puberty and the age of 20 years. 2. Effect on secondary sexual characters: Secondary sexual characters are the physical and behavioral characteristics that distinguish the male from female. These characters appear at the time of puberty in humans. (muscular and bone growth, skin and voice changes)
