1 Chapter 26: Reproductive Systems BIO 218 Fall 2015 Male Male reproductive system is composed of... Gonads (testes) Duct system (epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory ducts, urethra) Accessory sex glands (seminal vesicles, prostate, cowper s glands) Supporting structures (scrotum, penis) 1

2 Male gonads = Testes (aka testicles) Tunica vaginalis Tunica albuginea Septa Lobules Seminiferous tubules Fig. 26.3a Testis Seminiferous Tubules Testis Wall of Seminiferous Tubule 2

developing germ cells Spermiogenesis Spermiation Produce fluid for sperm

3 Sertoli(sustentacular) cells Fig. 26.4a Sertoli Cells Support and protection of developing germ cells Nourish developing germ cells Spermiogenesis Spermiation Produce fluid for sperm transport Secrete the hormone inhibin Form blood-testis barrier Sertoli cells & blood-testis barrier Fig. 26.4b 3

Spermiation Sperm cells are released from Sertoli cells into the lumen of the seminiferous tubules Cells are not motile, fluid secreted by Sertoli cells

9 Efferent Ductules Epididymis Epididymis Lined with PCET & smooth muscle Microvilliincrease the surface area for the reabsorption of degenerated sperm During sexual arousal, peristaltic waves aid in sperm transport towards the ductus deferens Sperm maturation occurs here (acquire motility & the ability to fertilize female gametes) Sperm storage 9

13 Erectile Tissue Fig c Erection NO from the PNS causes smooth muscle in the walls of the arterioles to relax NO also causes smooth muscle in erectile tissue to relax (widening of blood sinuses) Blood enters erectile tissue Expansion of the blood sinuses compresses veins draining the penis Ejaculation Spinal reflex (sacral) Smooth muscle sphincter at base of urinary bladder closes Peristaltic contractions of epididymis, ductus deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts, and prostate propel semen into the penile urethra 13

Oogenesis & Follicular Development Oogenesis begins prior to birth Primordial germ cells migrate to the ovaries PGCs differentiate into oogoniawhich

surrounded by a single layer of follicular cells Primordial Follicle Primary oocyte + follicular cells Development does not continue until puberty At birth 2

15 Oogenesis & Follicular Development Oogenesis begins prior to birth Primordial germ cells migrate to the ovaries PGCs differentiate into oogoniawhich proliferate by mitosis Most oogonia will degenerate (atresia) Some oogonia will develop into primary oocytes (arrest in Prophase I) Primary oocytesare surrounded by a single layer of follicular cells Primordial Follicle Primary oocyte + follicular cells Development does not continue until puberty At birth 2 million At puberty 40,000 Ovulated Fig a Primary Follicle Primary oocyte surrounded by several layers of granulosa cells Zona pellucida Theca folliculi Fig b 15
