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.
