    Study Notes

    Functions of the Scrotum and Testes

    • The scrotum regulates the temperature of the testes, which is necessary for sperm development, as it maintains a temperature slightly lower than the body's core temperature.

    Cell Functions in the Testis

    • Sertoli cells provide support and nutrition to developing sperm cells, and also facilitate the release of mature sperm into the tubular network.

    Hormone Synthesis

    • Leydig cells synthesise and secrete testicular hormones, such as testosterone, into the bloodstream.

    Male Sex Accessory Ducts

    • The epididymis is located along the posterior surface of each testis, and it stores and transports mature sperm cells.

    Testicular Functions

    • Leydig cells play a crucial role in the testis by producing and secreting testosterone, which is essential for the development of male characteristics and reproductive organs.

    Meiosis and Sperm Development

    • Male germ cells undergo meiotic divisions in the seminiferous tubules, which are located within the testis.

    Epididymis Connection

    • The rete testis, a network of tubules, opens into the epididymis, allowing mature sperm cells to be transported out of the testis.
