Study Notes
Male Reproductive System
- The scrotum is an external covering for the testes.
- The scrotum protects the testes from injury and provides the right environment for sperm formation.
- The cremaster and tunica dartos muscles help regulate the temperature of the testes.
- The testes are the main sex organs in males.
- Testis produce testosterone.
- Leydig cells produce testosterone.
- Sperm production occurs in the seminiferous tubules.
Duct System
- Epididymis is responsible for sperm maturation.
- Vas Deferens convey sperm to the urethra.
- The urethra is a passageway for both sperm and urine.
- The penis is the male organ for copulation.
Accessory Glands
- The prostate gland secretes substances that nourish sperm.
- Seminal vesicles produce seminal fluid that transports and protects sperm.
- Cowper's gland secretes a fluid that neutralizes urine residue in the urethra.
Abnormalities
- Cryptorchidism is the failure of the testes to descend.
- Unilateral cryptorchidism involves only one testis failing to descend.
- Bilateral cryptorchidism involves both testes failing to descend.
- Orchitis is the inflammation of the testes.
Avian Male Reproductive System
- Avian testicles are located internally.
- Avian males lack accessory glands.
- Avian males have small copulatory organs (papillae or small projections).
Female Reproductive System
- Ovaries are the main sex organs in females.
- Ovaries produce ova (eggs).
- Ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone.
- Oviducts, or fallopian tubes, are the site of fertilization.
- The uterus is where implantation occurs.
- The cervix protects the uterine contents.
Additional Female Structures
- The vagina is the organ of copulation in females.
- The vulva is the common passage for urine and reproductive products.
- The clitoris is a rudimentary organ homologous to the male glans penis.
Additional Female Anatomy
- Broad ligament (mesometrium) supports the female reproductive organs.
- Cranial vagina
- Cervix
- External Uterine Bifurcation
- Fornix vagina
- Internal Uterine Bifurcation
- Labia
- Oviduct
- Ovary
- Urinary Bladder
- Uterine Horn
- Vestibule
- Vulva
Avian Female Reproductive System
- Avian females have only one ovary (typically the left).
- Avian oviducts are modified.
- Avian females have a cloaca instead of a vulva.
Oviduct Modifications
- The infundibulum is the funnel-shaped part of the oviduct responsible for fertilization.
- The magnum secretes albumen.
- The isthmus secretes the shell membrane.
- The uterus serves as a shell gland.
- The cloaca is the common passage for excreta, urine, and eggs.
