1 Lab Activity 33 Anatomy of the Reproductive System Portland Community College BI 233

2 Scrotum Sac of skin and superficial fascia that hangs outside the abdominopelvic cavity at the root of the penis Contains paired testicles separated by a midline septum Its external positioning keeps the testes 3 C lower than core body temperature 2

3 Penis Internal penis: The urethra and three cylindrical bodies of erectile tissue Corpus spongiosum: Surrounds the urethra and expands to form the glans and bulb of the penis Corpora cavernosa: Paired dorsal erectile bodies bound by fibrous tunica albuginea Crura: anchors the penis to the pubic arch 3

4 4

5 5

6 Penis Histology 6

7 Testicles Seminiferous tubules: Produce the sperm Converge to form the tubulus rectus The straight tubulus rectus conveys sperm to the rete testis From the rete testis, the sperm: Leave the testis via efferent ductules Enter the epididymis Surrounding the seminiferous tubules are interstitial cells 7

8 Testicle 8

9 Seminiferous Tubules Sperm Factory Interstitial cells (Leydig cells) In the soft connective tissue surrounding the seminiferous tubules. Produce Testosterone when stimulated by LH 9

10 Seminiferous Tubules Sperm Factory Sertoli Cells (sustentacular cells) Support and nourish the spermatogenic cells Completely surround the spermatic cells undergoing meiosis Creates the blood-testes barrier Stimulated by FSH Secretes: Androgen binding protein (ABP): Concentrates testosterone in the seminiferous tubules Inhibin: Released when sperm production is too high (slows it down). Inhibits the secretion of FSH and GnRH 10

12 Seminiferous Tubules 12

13 Seminiferous Tubules Histology 13

14 Epididymis Epididymis: Storage and maturation area for sperm Its head joins the efferent ductules and caps the superior aspect of the testis The duct of the epididymis has stereocilia that: Absorb testicular fluid Pass nutrients to the sperm Nonmotile sperm enter, pass through its tubes and become motile (propelled by peristalsis) Upon ejaculation the epididymis contracts, expelling sperm into the ductus deferens 14

15 Ductus Deferens and Ejaculatory Duct Ductus Deferens: Runs from the epididymis through the inguinal canal into the pelvic cavity Ampulla: The expanded terminal end on posterior bladder Ejaculatory Duct: Formed from the ampulla and the duct of the seminal vesicle Most of it is in the prostate gland Propels sperm from the epididymis to the urethra 15

16 Seminal vesicle Ampulla Ejaculatory Duct 16

17 Spermatic Cord Contains the structures running from the testicles to the pelvic cavity. Passes through the inguinal canal Contents: Vas Deferens Nerves Blood Vessels 17

18 Accessory Glands: Seminal Vesicles Lie on the posterior wall of the bladder and secrete 60% of the volume of semen Seminal fluid: Fructose: provides energy for the sperm. Fibrinogen: helps turn semen into a bolus that can be readily propelled into the vagina. Prostaglandins: decrease cervical mucus viscosity and stimulate reverse peristalsis of the uterus. Join the ductus deferens to form the ejaculatory duct 18

19 Posterior Bladder 19

20 Accessory Glands: Prostate Gland Doughnut-shaped gland that encircles part of the urethra inferior to the bladder Plays a role in the activation of sperm Enters the prostatic urethra during ejaculation Prostatic secretions include: Citrate: is a food source (TCA cycle) Proteolytic enzymes: acts to "decoagulate" the semen that was coagulated by seminal vesicle secretions, which helps the sperm begin their journey once inside the vagina 20

21 Bulbourethral Glands (Cowper s Glands) Pea-sized glands inferior to the prostate Produce alkaline mucus prior to ejaculation that neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra 21

22 Sperm Summary Produced: Seminiferous tubules Stored: Epididymis Transported through epididymis by rhythmic peristaltic contractions as they mature Epididymis Vas Deferens Ejaculatory duct (ampulla of vas deferens fuses with duct of seminal vesicle ejaculatory duct ) prostate prostatic urethra (then passes the bulbourethral gland) membranous urethra penile urethra 22

23 Female External Genitalia Mons pubis: fatty pad over the pubic symphysis Labia majora & minora: folds of skin encircling vestibule where find urethral and vaginal openings Clitoris: small mass of erectile tissue Bulb of vestibule: masses of erectile tissue just deep to the labia on either side of the vaginal orifice Perineum: Area between the vagina and anus 23

24 Female External Genitalia Perineum 24

25 Vagina Thin-walled tube lying between the bladder and the rectum, extending from the cervix to the exterior of the body Wall consists of three coats: fibroelastic adventitia, smooth muscle muscularis, and a stratified squamous mucosa Mucosa near the vaginal orifice forms an incomplete partition called the hymen Vaginal fornix: upper end of the vagina surrounding the cervix 25

26 Bartholin s Glands (aka: Vestibular Glands) The Bartholin's glands are located on each side of the vaginal opening. They secrete fluid that helps lubricate the vagina. Sometimes the ducts of these glands become obstructed. Fluid backs up into the gland and causes swelling (Bartholin's cyst) 26

27 Female: Lateral View 27

28 Cervix Narrow lower neck of the uterus which projects into the vagina inferiorly Cervical canal cavity of the cervix that communicates with: The vagina via the external os The uterine body via the internal os Cervical glands secrete mucus that covers the external os and blocks sperm entry except during midcycle 28

29 Endocervical canal Fornix 29

30 Uterine Tubes (Fallopian Tubes) Receive the ovulated oocyte and provide a site for fertilization Empty into the superolateral region of the uterus via the isthmus Expand distally around the ovary forming the ampulla The ampulla ends in the funnel-shaped, ciliated infundibulum containing fingerlike projections called fimbriae 30

31 Uterine Tubes (Fallopian Tubes) Function: events occurring in the uterine tube Fimbriae sweep oocyte into tube, cilia & peristalsis move it along, sperm reaches oocyte in ampulla, fertilization occurs within 24 hours after ovulation & zygote reaches uterus about 7 days after ovulation 31

32 Fallopian Tube Histology Cilia sweep egg/zygote toward the uterus 32

33 Uterus Hollow, thick-walled organ located in the pelvis anterior to the rectum and posterosuperior to the bladder Body: Major portion of the uterus Fundus: Rounded region superior to the entrance of the uterine tubes Isthmus: Narrowed region between the body and cervix 33

34 Uterus 34

35 Uterine Histology Endometrium Simple columnar epithelium Stroma of connective tissue and endometrial glands Stratum functionalis: Shed during menstruation Stratum basalis: Replaces stratum functionalis each month Myometrium 3 layers of smooth muscle Perimetrium Visceral peritoneum 35

36 Uterine Histology 36

37 Endometrium Simple columnar epithelium Endometrial glands 37

38 Ovaries Each follicle consists of an immature egg called an oocyte Cells around the oocyte are called: Follicle cells (one cell layer thick) Stimulated to mature by FSH from the pituitary gland Granulosa cells (when more than one layer is present) Thecal cells: Cells in the ovarian stroma Thecal & granulosa cells work together to produce estrogen 38

39 Follicle Development 1. Primordial follicle: one layer of squamous-like follicle cells surrounds the oocyte 2. Primary follicle: two or more layers of cuboidal granulosa cells enclose the oocyte 3. Secondary follicle: has a fluid-filled space between granulosa cells that coalesces to form a central antrum 4. Graafian follicle: secondary follicle at its most mature stage that bulges from the surface of the ovary 5. Corpus luteum : ruptured follicle after ovulation 39

40 Ovary Histology 40

41 Ovary Histology 41

42 Primary Follicle Nucleus 1 Oocyte (arrested in prophase I) Primordial follicle Thecal cells Granulosa cells Zona pellucida 42

43 Secondary Follicle 43

44 Graafian Follicle Fluid filled antrum Granulosa cells Oocyte 2 Stalk Corona radiata Zona pellucida 44

45 Ovulation LH from the pituitary gland will cause the Graafian follicle to rupture The oocyte will be released (ovulation) The follicle is now a corpus luteum Secretes estrogen and progesterone 45

46 Mammary Glands Modified sweat glands that produce milk (lactation) Amount of adipose determines size of breast Milk-secreting glands open by lactiferous ducts at the nipple Areola is pigmented area around nipple Suspensory ligaments suspend breast from deep fascia of pectoral muscles (aging & Cooper s droop) 46

47 Breast 47

48 Breast Prolactin from the pituitary gland stimulates the synthesis of milk Oxytocin from the posterior pituitary gland stimulates milk ejection 48

49 Lymphatic Drainage Lymph nodes draining the breast are located in the axilla. 49

50 Lab Activity 34 Gametogenesis

51 Gametogenesis Each cell has two sets of chromosomes (one maternal, one paternal) and is said to be diploid (2n chromosomal number) Humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes Gametes only have 23 chromosomes and are said to be haploid (n chromosomal number) Gamete formation is by meiosis, in which the number of chromosomes is halved (from 2n to n) 51

52 52

53 Review of Mitosis DNA replication happens during interphase and is not part of mitosis (or meiosis) Mitosis (and then cytokinesis) Results in the formation of two daughter cells identical to the original cells Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase 53

54 Mitosis Original cell Cell with replicated DNA just prior to starting mitosis (X represents sister chromatids: 2 copies of the same chromosome) Daughter cells 54

55 Prophase First part of cell division Centromeres migrate to the poles 55

56 Metaphase Sister chromatids align in the center of the cell along the spindle that radiates from the centromeres 56

57 Anaphase Sister chromatids are pulled toward the poles so that each new cell will get only one copy of the chromosome The cell begins to elongate 57

58 Telophase Daughter nuclei begin forming A cleavage furrow (for cell division) begins to form 58

59 Meiosis DNA replication happens during interphase Meiosis consists of two nuclear and cellular divisions. The first division is known as meiosis I and results in two haploid cells. During meiosis II, those two haploid cells divide, yielding a total of four haploid cells. 59

60 Meiosis I Meiosis II Original cell Cell with replicated DNA just prior to starting meiosis Cells at the end of meiosis I (sister chromatids stay together) 60

61 Prophase I: Synapsis Homologous pairs of chromosomes undergo synapsis and form tetrads with their homologous partners (4 chromosomes) Crossover: Genetic material is exchanged between the homologous chromosomes. Parts of maternal chromosomes may be exchanged with paternal ones Genetic recombination produces gametes unlike either parent 61

62 Exchange of Genetic Material Genes are exchanged between homologous chromosomes 62

63 Meiosis I Metaphase I: Tetrads line up at the spindle equator Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes (still composed of joined sister chromatids) are distributed to opposite ends of the cell Telophase I: The nuclear membranes re-form around the chromosomal masses Cytokinesis: The cytoplasm is split in two. 63

64 64

65 Results of Meiosis I At the end of meiosis I each daughter cell has: Two copies of either a maternal or paternal chromosome (Compare to mitosis where you get one copy of maternal and one copy of paternal) A 2n amount of DNA and haploid number of chromosomes 65

66 Meiosis II Mirrors mitosis except that chromosomes are not replicated before it begins Meiosis II accomplishes two tasks: It reduces the chromosome number by half (2n to n) Each of the daughter cells produced by meiosis I divides during meiosis II and the net result is 4 genetically unique haploid cells or gametes. 66

67 67

68 Meiosis 68

69 Spermatogenesis Spermatogenic stem cells of the seminiferous tubules give rise to sperm in a series of events Mitosis of spermatogonia, forming spermatocytes Meiosis forms spermatids from spermatocytes Spermiogenesis: spermatids form sperm 69

70 Spermatogenesis 70

71 Spermiogenesis: Spermatids to Sperm 71

72 Sperm Sperm have three major regions 1. Head :contains DNA and has a helmet-like acrosome containing hydrolytic enzymes that allow the sperm to penetrate and enter the egg 2. Midpiece: contains mitochondria spiraled around the tail filaments 3. Tail :a typical flagellum produced by a centriole 72

73 Sperm 73

74 Oogenesis: Before birth During fetal development, oogonia (stem cells) divide by mitosis to make primary oocytes Primary oocytes begin meiosis and stop in prophase I until puberty Primordial follicles: Support cells that surround the oocyte in the ovary 2 million present at birth 400,000 remain at puberty 74

75 Oogenesis: After Puberty Each month, hormones cause several follicles to develop, which triggers the primary oocyte to resume meiosis I Polar bodies: When the cell divides, all the cytoplasm and organelles stay with one of the new cells, the other cell is just DNA, and is called a polar body and is discarded Secondary oocyte: The stage at which ovulation occurs. 75

76 Oogenesis: After Puberty The secondary oocyte begins meiosis II, but stops in metaphase II The secondary oocyte is ovulated Meiosis II is completed only if it is fertilized. 76

77 Oogenesis 77

78 Life History of Oogonia As a fetus, oogonia divide to produce millions by mitosis but most degenerate (atresia) Some develop into primary oocytes & stop in prophase stage of meiosis I 200,000 to 2 million present at birth 40,000 remain at puberty but only 400 mature during a woman s life Each month, hormones cause meiosis I to resume in several follicles so that meiosis II is reached by ovulation Penetration by the sperm causes the final stages of 78 meiosis to occur
