Study Notes

Male Reproductive System Overview

Male and female reproductive systems originate from similar embryonic tissues.
During fetal development, reproductive organs are initially near the kidneys.
The organs gradually move to their final positions.
By the 7th month, they descend into the scrotum via inguinal canals.

Scrotum

A sac of skin and superficial fascia.
Located outside the abdominopelvic cavity, at the root of the penis.
Maintains testes at 3°C lower than core body temperature, crucial for sperm production.

Scrotum Components

Dartos Muscle: Thin layer of smooth muscle in the dermis. Contractions cause skin wrinkling.
Tunica Vaginalis: Encloses each testis. A continuation of the peritoneum. Lines the abdominopelvic cavity.
Tunica Albuginea: Fibrous capsule covering each testis.
