  16. Roots Pertaining to Male Reproduction (cont’d)

  17. Male Reproductive System • Function: • Produce gametes (reproductive cells) • Generated by meiosis • Number of chromosomes cut in half • Fertilization restores chromosome number • Produce hormones • Aid production of gametes • Used in pregnancy and lactation • Regulate secondary sex characteristics

  18. The Testes • Male germ cells (spermatozoa) produced inside • Testes suspended outside body in scrotum • Spermatozoa form within testes starting at puberty • Gonads are stimulated by FSH and LH which are released from the pituitary

  19. Male Genitourinary System

  20. Transport of Spermatozoa • Sperm cells stored in epididymis • Ejaculation propels them out through series of ducts • Vas deferens • Ejaculatory duct • Urethra • Penis • Transports both semen and urine • Enlarged at tip to form glans penis

  21. Formation of Semen • Spermatozoa transported in semen • Thick, whitish fluid containing: • Sperm cells • Secretion from: • Seminal vesicles • Prostrate gland • Bulbourethral (Cowper) glands

  22. Clinical Aspects of the Male Reproductive System • Infections • Most are sexually transmitted • Most common is caused by bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis • Gonorrhea caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae • Herpes caused by a virus • Non-sexually transmitted • Mumps caused by a virus, infects testes

  23. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia • Prostate gland normally enlarges as men age • Can press on urethra near bladder • Can cause: • Urinary retention • Infection

  24. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (cont’d) • Treatments include: • Medications for relaxing smooth muscle in prostate • Drugs that interfere with testosterone activity • Saw palmetto (herbal remedy) • Prostatectomy (removal of prostate)

  25. Cancer of the Prostate • Most common malignancy in U.S. men • Third leading cause of cancer-related deaths • May metastasize rapidly • Difficult to remove surgically • Possible treatments • Radiation • Measures to reduce androgens (stimulates prostatic growth) • Chemotherapy

  26. Testicular Cancer • Represents less than 1% of cancer in men • Appears between ages 25 and 45 with no signs of genetic inheritance • Treatment: • Removal of testis • Radiation • Chemotherapy

  27. Cryptorchidism • Testes normally descend into scrotum by birth • If not termed cryptorchidism from: • (Crypt/o) hidden • (Orchid/o) testis • May correct itself within first year of life • Must be surgically corrected to avoid: • Sterility • Increased risk of cancer

  28. Cryptorchidism

  29. Infertility • Inability or diminished ability to reproduce • Causes include: • Hereditary • Hormones • Related to disease • Exposure to chemical or physical agents • Sexually transmitted diseases • Total inability to reproduce termed sterility • Voluntary sterility done with vasectomy

  30. Erectile Dysfunction • Also known as impotence • Lack of ability to perform intercourse due to inability to: • Initiate erection • Maintain erection until ejaculation • Causes: • Psychogenic • Physical • Neurogenic • Pharmacological

  31. Erectile Dysfunction (cont’d) • Possible treatments: • Drugs to dilate arteries in penis to increase blood flow • Sildenafil (Viagra) • Penile vacuum pumps • Penile prostheses

  32. Inguinal Hernia • Testes descend through inguinal canal • Canal may represent weakness in abdominal wall • Can lead to hernia • Indirect (external) hernia • Direct (internal) hernia • Strangulated hernia • Treatment • Herniorrhaphy (surgery to correct)

  33. Inguinal Hernia

  34. Pretest The male germ cell, or gamete, is the: (a) ovum (b) testis (c) spermatozoon (d) semen

  35. Pretest The male germ cell, or gamete, is the: (a) ovum (b) testis (c) spermatozoon (d) semen

  36. Pretest • Gametes develop in a gonad, which in males is called the: (a) testis (b) seminal vesicle (c) vas deferens (d) penis

  37. Pretest • Gametes develop in a gonad, which in males is called the: (a) testis (b) seminal vesicle (c) vas deferens (d) penis

  38. Pretest • The main male sex hormone is: (a) estrogen (b) amylase (c) renin (d) testosterone

  39. Pretest • The main male sex hormone is: (a) estrogen (b) amylase (c) renin (d) testosterone

  40. Pretest • The secretion that transports gametes in males is: (a) bile (b) semen (c) urine (d) pepsin

  41. Pretest • The secretion that transports gametes in males is: (a) bile (b) semen (c) urine (d) pepsin

  42. Pretest • The gland below the bladder in males is the: (a) adrenal (b) scrotum (c) submandibular (d) prostate

  43. Pretest • The gland below the bladder in males is the: (a) adrenal (b) scrotum (c) submandibular (d) prostate

  44. Pretest • Protrusion of an organ or tissue through an abnormal body opening is a(n): (a) hernia (b) occlusion (c) stenosis (d) embolus

  45. Pretest • Protrusion of an organ or tissue through an abnormal body opening is a(n): (a) hernia (b) occlusion (c) stenosis (d) embolus

  46. Pretest • Orchitis is inflammation of the: (a) bladder (b) kidney (c) penis (d) testis

  47. Pretest • Orchitis is inflammation of the: (a) bladder (b) kidney (c) penis (d) testis
