5th week un differentiated 7th week medulla develops 8th week TDF secreted by serotoli cells 9th week testis is present 10th week testis descend 10th week ovary starts developing 25th week ovary is fully developed
Functions of sertoli cells • They secrete an enzyme Aromatse • The cells are rich in Glycogen • They secrete androgen- binding protein • They provide blood – Testis barrier • Controlled release of Matured sperms
Epididymis • Sperms move from seminiferous tubule to • Epididymis • Sperms can be stored for a month • Potassium • Phosphoryl- choline
Seminal - vesicles The secretion are MUCOID and VISCOUS ContainsFRUCTOSE, PHOSPHORYL CHOLINE, FIBRINOGEN, PROSTAGLANDIN, CITRIC ACID. Nutrition to the SPERMS Clotting of SEMEN IncreasesSPERM motility in female genital tract
Prostate- gland • Secretion is thin, Milky and alkaline • Sodium • Calcium • Zinc • Phospholipids • Fibrinolysin • Clotting enzymes
Regulation of Spermatogenesis • Testosterone • F.S.H • L.H • Prolactin • Thyroid hormones • InsulinGrowth hormone Temperature Irradiation Drugs Mumps
Seminal – Fluid (Semen) Characteristic Features • Colour • Specific gravity • PH • Average volume • Sperm count • Composition • Seminiferous tubules • Seminal – Vesicle • Prostate
Semen - Analysis • Colour • Consistency • PH • Volume • Sperm count • Abnormal Sperms
Functions of Testosterone During Fetal life 1) 2) 3) Sex- Differentiation Development accessory- Sex organs Descent of testis
Effect of testosterone on Adult primary And secondary sexual characteristics • Effect of distribution of body hair • Effect on voice • Effect on skin • Muscle development • Effect on bone matrix • Increases basal metabolism • Effect on R.B.C • Effect on Electrolytes and water balance
Testosterone • Produced in Testes (Leydig Cells) and adrenal glands (zona reticularis) • Testosterone is 98 % bound to protein • 60 % to SHBG • 38 % to Albumin • There is a circadian rhythm of 25% • Peak between 6 and 8 a.m. • Nadir at 5-7 p.m. • Acts via a nuclear receptor (type 1)
Testosterone • Hypothalamic GnRH pulses cause pituitary gonadotrophs to release LH • Testosterone is produced by the Leydig Cell under the influence of lutenising hormone • Testosterone is converted to the active androgen dihydrotestosterone by 5 reductase. • Testosterone can also be aromatised to oestradiol • Metabolism is in the liver by 17- alkylation

Adult Increases lean body mass Decreases fat mass Increases muscle strength Increases libido Increases well being Decreases total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides Increases bone mineral density Maintains spermatogenesis Actions of Testosterone

Male Hypogonadisim • Lack of deepening of the voice • Decreased development of muscle mass • Impaired growth of body hair • Impaired growth of the penis and testicles • Excessive growth of the arms and legs in relation to the trunk of the body • Development of breast tissue (gynecomastia
Male Hypogonadisim • Erectile dysfunction • Infertility • Decrease in beard and body hair growth • Increase in body fat • Decrease in size or firmness of testicles • Decrease in muscle mass • Development of breast tissue • Loss of bone mass (osteoporosis) 0
