The Reproductive System
Composition

Internal genital organ




Gonads (sex glands)
-manufacture the sex cells an secrete the sex
hormones.
Genital ducts
-
transport the sex cells from the site of production
into site fertilization
Accessory glands
-secrete the fluid
External genital organ

General features



Paired, smooth, ovoid male reproductive
organ, slightly flattened anteroposteriorly
Located in scrotum
Produces sperm and secretes androgens
Gonad – testis
Structures of testis



Septula testis : numerous fibrous into
the gland

Lobules of testis : contain the contorted
seminiferous tubules

Striaght seminiferous tubules

Rete testis

Efferent ductules of testis open into the
head of the epididymis
Testis
Seminiferous tubules
Epididymis




Comma-shaped, with head,
body and tail of epididymis
Located on superior extremity
and posterolateral aspect of
testis
Contains tortuous canal that
extends from testis to ductus
deferens in spermatic cord
Function – the site of
accumulation and storage of
sperm
Ductus deferens


A thick-walled muscular
tube approximately 45 cm
in length.
It transports sperm form
epididymis to ejaculatory
duct
Ductus deferens
1. Testicular part
-
extends form the tail of epididymis to the
superior extremity of testis
2. Spermatic part
-
extends form superior extremity of testis to
the superficial inguinal ring, the place where
the vasectomy is performed
3. Inguinal part
-
extends form superficial to deep inguinal
rings
4. Pelvic part
-
crosses the obturator neurovascular bundle
and the ureter to reach the base of bladder,
where it expands to form the ampulla
ductus deferentis

widest and most dilatable portion of
urethra.
2. Membranous part

diaphragm surround by the sphincter of
urethra
3. Cavernous part
