Picture tests in histology reproductive system - male

Описание: After completion of this session it is expected that the students will be able to identify, locate and describe the histological features of:

Male genital organs:
Seminiferous tubules: Spermatogenic cells: various stages of spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis: spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatogonia; Non-spermatogenic cells: Sertoli cells; Myofibroblasts and fibroblasts in the supporting tissue; Outline the structural changes in spermiogenesis; Sertoli cells: Describe their shape and position; Discuss their role in the formation of the blood-testis barrier; Describe the shape of the spermatozoon and its parts: head, neck and tail; Locate Leydig cells and outline their function.
Epididymis
Outline its function and relate structure to function: role of muscular layer and stereocilia; Describe the layers in its wall: epithelium and muscular layer.
Ductus (vas) deferens
Outline its function and relate structure to function: role of muscular layer and stereocilia; Describe the layers in its wall: epithelium and muscular layer.
Seminal vesicles
Describe the layers in its wall: epithelium and muscular layer and relate that to function; Identify the honeycombed appearance of its lumen and the foamy cells of mucosa; Give reason why it may contain spermatozoa.
