Presentation Transcript

  1. Male Reproductive System Biology 2122

  2. Introduction 1. Primary sex organ (gonads) are the testes 2. Testes produce sperm via ‘spermatogenesis’ • Meiosis 3. Sex hormones (androgens) • play vital roles in development and function of reproductive organs and sexual behavior • Testosterone

  3. Reproductive Organs (sagittal view)

  4. Scrotum and Testes 1. Scrotum • Function • Structure • Dartos and Cremaster muscles 2. Testes • Function • Structure • Tuica vaginalis and albuginea • Semineferous tubules • Rete testes • Epididymis • Ductus Deferens

  5. Penis and Duct System 1. PenisStructure • Perineum; Glans Penis • Prepuce • Corpus spongiosum • Corpora cavernosa • Crura 2. Epididymis • P.S. epithelium • 20 days – sperm 3. DuctusDeferens • Ampulla – Ejaculatory duct • P.S. Epithelium 4. Urethra • Prostatic; membranous; spongy

  6. Seminiferous Tubules 1. Function • Produce Sperm • Spermatogenesis 2. Structure • Spermatogonia • Interstitial Cells 3. Spermatogenesis • Meiosis • Spermatocytes to Spermatids • Sperm • Sustentacular Cells • Sertolicells

  7. Meiosis and Mitosis

  8. Mitosis and Meiosis

  9. Spermatogenesis - Animation

  10. Development of Sperm Midpiece Head Flagella

  11. Prostate and Semen 1. Prostate • Secretion • Function 2. Semen • Contents • pH • Function • Prostaglandins • Relaxins • Amount

  12. Horomonal Regulation • (1). Hypothalamus, anterior pituitary and testes (brain-testicular axis) • (2). Four events that occur • (1). Release of GnRH • (2). GnRH stimulate release of FSH and LH • (3). FSH and spermotogenesis • Stimulates sertoli cells to release ABP • (4). LH binding to interstitial cells • Interstitial cell-stimulating hormone

  13. Hormonal Regulation • GnRH released • GnRH to pituitary cells • FSH and ABP • LH binding to interstitial cells • Testosterone levels rise • Testosterone enters the blood stream • Testosterone ‘feedback’ • Inhibin

  14. Secondary Sex Characteristics • (1). Induced in nonreproductive organs (testosterone) • (2). Characteristics • Pubic, facial and axillary hairs • Larynx enlarges • Skin thickens, oily • Skeletal muscles (density; size and mass) • BMR increased (increases sex drive)
