ANAT 381 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Seminiferous Tubule, Mesonephric Duct, Nuclear Lamina
Document Summary
Anatomy of the male reproductive system: low magnification level, testis seminiferous tubules sperm made here, once made in the tubules get transported to the epididymis (highly coiled structure like the seminiferous tubule, divided into three parts functionally. Icsi is used in art inject the egg with the sperm using a micropipette. Under these conditions, sperm from the testis can fertilize an egg. The wolffian duct is the other structure from the female sex and it is degraded in male. Dpes mallerian duct mean male structure: anti mullerian hormone causes the repression of malelerian ducts in males. Females don"t have testosterone and so they cant keep going with wolfen. In the tubules the germ cells are associated with the sertoli cells and there are other cells sort of surrounding those groupings. Testis are assembled during embryonic development of the male. Due to sry gene some of the somatic cells in the testis becom.
