Study Notes

Male Reproductive System

The scrotum is divided into two separate chambers by the scrotal septum.
The epididymis stores sperm for maturation and transports them to the vas deferens.
Sertoli cells facilitate the progression of germ cells to spermatozoa via direct contact and by controlling the environment within the seminiferous tubules.
Leydig cells (interstitial cells) are located in the seminiferous tubules in the testes and synthesise and secrete androgens, such as testosterone.
The prostate gland is located in the prostate.
Seminal vesicles produce components of semen.

Spermatogenesis

Spermatogenesis is the process by which sperm cell production occurs.

Endocrine Function of the Testes

Testosterone hormone is produced in the gonads in the testes.
Testosterone is involved in the production of red blood cells and sperm, bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass, and strength.
Testosterone secretion is controlled by the brain.
