Male Reproductive System Histology Questions

The corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum are erectile
tissue. There are two corpora cavernosa and one corpus
spongiosum.

The male genital duct system contains: rete testes, tubuli recti,
ductuli efferentes, ductus epididymidis, and ductus deferens.
The male accessory glands contain the bulbourethral glands,
seminal vesicles, and prostate.

The corpus spongiosum is also called the corpus cavernosum
urethrae. The corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum are
erectile tissue. The corpus cavernosum clitoridis is in the
female. The urethra is a muscular tube that runs from the
bladder. It transports both urine and semen.

Leydig cells produce testosterone. These are also called
"interstitial cells" or "interstitial cells of Leydig". Sertoli cells are
directly involved in spermatogenesis. They are also called
"sustentacular cells" or "nurse cells

The spherical structures seen in some prostatic alveoli are
called prostatic concretions.

The glandular epithelium of the prostate is most often simple
columnar, however a variety of types can be found.

Stereocilia are very long microvilli. Stereocilia are seen in the
epididymis and the hair cells of the ear.

Pseudostratified epithelium lines the epididymis.

Sertoli cells produce inhibin and androgen-binding protein. The
interstitial cells of Leydig produce testosterone.

The earliest cells of spermatogenesis are spermatogonia; these
are primitive cells. The primary spermatocyte is derived from
spermatogonia. This then develops into secondary
spermatocytes . The secondary spermatocyte is haploid. These
develop into spermatids. The mature sperm cell is spermatozoa.

The bulbourethral glands are also called Cowper's glands. The
bulbourethral glands are found in males and are homologous to
the Bartholin's glands in females.

Steroid
hormones are cholesterol derivatives. Steroid hormones include
testosterone and estradiol.

The prostate is made of compound tuboloalveolar glands.

The bulbourethral glands are also called Cowper's glands. The
bulbourethral glands are found in males and are homologous to
the Bartholin's glands in females

Pseudostratified epithelium lines the seminal vesicles.

The glands of the prostate lie in a fibromuscular stroma. It is
also referred to as a fibroelastic stroma. There are bundles of
smooth muscle within dense irregular connective tissue.

Leydig cells produce testosterone. These are also called
"interstitial cells" or "interstitial cells of Leydig". Sertoli cells are
directly involved in spermatogenesis. They are also called
"sustentacular cells" or "nurse cells".

The male genital duct system contains: rete testes, tubuli recti,
ductuli efferentes, ductus epididymidis, and ductus deferens.
The male accessory glands contain the bulbourethral glands,
seminal vesicles, and prostate

Pseudostratified epithelium lines the vas deferens.

The corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum are erectile
tissue. There are two corpora cavernosa and one corpus
spongiosum.

Sertoli cells produce inhibin and androgen-binding protein. The
interstitial cells of Leydig produce testosterone

There are three layers of smooth muscle in the vas deferens.
There is an inner longitudinal, a middle circular, and an outer
longitudinal.

Leydig cells produce testosterone. These are also called
"interstitial cells" or "interstitial cells of Leydig". Sertoli cells are
directly involved in spermatogenesis. They are also called
"sustentacular cells" or "nurse cells".

The average testis in an adult man has between 400 and 600
seminiferous tubules.

The corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum are erectile
tissue. There are two corpora cavernosa and one corpus
spongiosum
