Reproductive systems - Male - Structures

6 important questions on Reproductive systems - Male - Structures

What are the components of the male urogenital system?

1. Testis: produce spermatozoa, fluids, hormones
2. Epididymis: store maturing and mature spermatozoa
3. Ductus deferens: conveys spermatozoa, joins urethra at prostate gland

How do testes descend during maturity?

Testes leave the peritoneal cavity via the inguinal canal, and sit in the scrotum to provide a cooler environment.

How does the testis descend into the vaginal process?

The gubernaculum guides the testis from the abdomen into the scrotum

What are the structures near the testes?

They are wrapped by epididymis (head, body, tail), which is followed by the ductus deferens. Spermatozoa is generated in testis, moved through the head, body, and tail of epididymis until it is sent out through the ductus deferens.

What structure supplies blood to the testes?

The testicular vessels (pampinoform plexus, artery, lymphatics)

What is the pampiniform plexus?

It is a network of veins that work as concurrent heat exchanger that cools down the blood incoming to the testis
