TESTIS

? Lies outside body cavity in the scrotum.
? Shape-- Ovoid, length-- 5cm, diameter--

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

2.5cm

? Weight --10-15gm
? Tunica albuginea--white fibrous connective

tissue capsule.

? Tunica vasculosa--highly vascularized

connective tissue below tunica albuginea.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


? Mediastinum of testis--formed by dense

connective tissue of tunica albuginea projection

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

into interior of posterior border of testis.

? Mediastinum of testis--blood vessels, nerves and

ducts of testis enter and leave.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


? Connective tissue septa extend between

mediastinum and tunica albuginea and divide it

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

into 250 compartment called as lobule.

? Each lobule contains 2-3 seminiferous tubule.

? Seminiferous tubule--

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Lined with a stratified epithelium called the

germinal epithelium

? Contains two cell types

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Spermatogenic cells that produce sperm
? Sertoli cells that support and nourish the

developing sperm.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Leydig cells

--Larger in size (15?20 m)
--Polyhedral in shape
--Secrete hormone testosterone-- responsible

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


for spermatogenesis and the development of

male secondary sexual characters.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Straight tubule (Tubuli Recti)--final portion of

seminiferous tubule.

? Rete Testis--anastomosing channel in the

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


mediastinum that drain straight tubule.

? Efferent ducts--they collect sperm from rete

testis.

? Efferent ducts consists of 12-15 coiled tube that

coalesce to form head of epididymis.

Histology of testis
? Epididymis--

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Efferent ducts fuse to form this, highly coiled tube.
? Parts--Head, body and tail.
? Lining epithelium-- Pseudostratified columnar.
? Tail of epididymis continuous with ductus

deferens.

? Function-- Storage and maturation of sperm.


--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Epididymis
? Ductus (vas) deferens--
? Thick muscular tube extending from tail of

epididymis to prostatic part of urethra.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


? Layers in vas deferens:--

? Mucosa--lining epithelium pseudostratified

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

columnar with stereocilia.
? Muscle layer--
? Outer-- longitudinal
? Middle-- circular
? Inner-- longitudinal

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


? Adventitia-- loose areolar tissue

SEMINAL VESICLE

? Elongated sac like with highly convulated

irregular lumen.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


? It joins with ductus deferens form ejaculatory

duct.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Layers of seminal vesicle:--
? Mucosa-- Thrown into highly complex folds.
? These folds join with each other to form many

crypts and cavities.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Epithelium-- Pseudostratified columnar
? Muscle layer--
? Inner-- Circular ,
? Outer-- Longitudinal
? Adventitia-- Loose connective tissue.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Secretes-- Seminal fluid that contains

fructose and prostaglandin and constitute

about 70% of ejaculate.

Histology of seminal vesicle
PROSTATE

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Composed of 20-50 compound tubulo-alveolar

glands.

? Embedded in a framework of fibromuscular tissue.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Arranged in 3 groups
i)Mucosal
ii)Submucosal
iii)Peripheral zone.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Histologically the prostate is made of fibromuscular

stroma and parenchyma.

? 1)Stroma (connective tissue framework)

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

i) Fibromuscular capsule? Enclosing the whole

gland and consist of collagen, elastic and smooth

muscle fibres.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


ii) Fibromuscular septa? Divide the gland into

lobule.
? 2)Parenchyma (glandular tissue)

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

--Consist of large number of branching tubules with

dilated ends.

--They appears as follicles, and lined by simple

columnar epithelium.

--The lumen may contain spherical prostatic

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

concretions or corpora amylacea

? Amyloid bodies (corpora amylacea)
? Present in lumen of some gland.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Oval dense bodies of glycoproteins.

? Formed due to condensation of secretory

products, which may become calcified.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? The number of corpora amylacea increase with

age.
Changes in prostate with age

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


? In childhood
? Small and composed of mainly fibromuscular

stroma and rudimentary ducts.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


? At puberty
? Sudden increase in size of gland due to formation

of many follicles.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


? During 3rd decade
? Irregular epithelial infolding in the lumen of

follicle.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? During 4th decade
? Size remains constant.
? Infolding disappear.
? Amyloid bodies appear in follicle.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? During 5th decade
? Undergo benign hypertrophy (submucosal

gland)

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Peripheral zone is prone to cancer.
