1 Medical School Histology Basics Male Reproductive System VIBS 289 lab Larry Johnson Texas A&M University

2 OBJECTIVE To conduct a histologic examination of the testis (which produce spermatozoa), excretory ducts (which transport and mature spermatozoa), and accessory glands (whose secretions support the viability of sperm) of the male reproductive system. To learn what structures facilitate the male gonad to produce an exocrine secretion (the spermatozoon) and an endocrine secretion (testosterone).

3 Outline Spermatozoon Spermatogenesis Sertoli cells and Leydig cells Hormonal control Epididymal function Accessory glands

4 Function of Male Reproductive System The testis produces both spermatozoa, an exocrine secretion, and testosterone, an endocrine secretion. The function of the male reproductive system are to: - produce, maintain, and transport spermatozoa (the male gametes) and protective fluid (semen) and - discharge the spermatozoa-containing semen within the female reproductive tract during mating.

11 163 Fetal testis #19760 (UT163) Gonocytes Gonocytes of the fetal testis give rise to spermatogonia, the source of cells that divide and differentiate in spermatogenesis to produce spermatozoa.

12 Human testis toluidine blue Seminiferous tubules Seminiferous epithelium Leydig cells Spermatozoa are produced in the seminiferous epithelium lining the lumen of the testicular tubules. Testosterone is synthesized by Leydig cells located between seminiferous tubules.

13 Human testis toluidine blue Germ cells 467 Two kinds of cells present in the seminiferous epithelium: Sertoli cells and germ cells: Sertoli cells nurse germ cell development. Nuclei of Sertoli cells 19680

18 Leydig cells Myoid cells. Capillaries Lipid droplets Seminiferous epithelium Fibroblasts Nerve Lymphatic vessel Artery Leydig cells Since developing germinal cells require a higher (100 fold) concentration of testosterone than do other cells, Leydig cells are located close to seminiferous tubules.
