    Study Notes

    The Male Reproductive System

    • Located in the pelvis region
    • Includes a pair of testes, accessory ducts, glands, and external genitalia
    • Testes are divided into testicular lobules, each containing 1-3 seminiferous tubules
    • Seminiferous tubules produce sperm and are lined with male germ cells (spermatogonia) and Sertoli cells
    • Sertoli cells provide nutrition to germ cells
    • Interstitial spaces outside seminiferous tubules contain small blood vessels, interstitial cells (Leydig cells), and immunologically competent cells
    • Leydig cells synthesize and secrete testicular hormones (androgens)

    Male Accessory Ducts and Glands

    • Include rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, and prostate gland
    • Epididymis stores and transports sperm from testis to urethra
    • Vas deferens ascends to abdomen, loops over urinary bladder, and receives duct from seminal vesicle
    • Ejaculatory duct opens into urethra
    • Urethra originates from urinary bladder, extends through penis, and opens at urethral meatus

    Male External Genitalia

    • Penis is made of special tissue that helps in erection
    • Enlarged end of penis is called glans penis, covered by a loose skin called foreskin
    • Accessory glands (seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands) produce seminal plasma rich in fructose, calcium, and enzymes
    • Secretions of bulbourethral glands also help in lubrication of penis

    The Female Reproductive System

    • Consists of a pair of ovaries, oviducts, uterus, cervix, vagina, and external genitalia in the pelvic region
    • Includes paired mammary glands
    • Oviducts are accessory ducts from the periphery to the ovary infundibulum

    Female Reproductive System Structure

    • Uterus consists of endometrium, myometrium, and perimetrium
    • Vaginal orifice is the external opening of the vagina
    • Labia minora and labia majora are part of the female external genitalia
