Epididymis

The Epididymis is a tubule lying outside each teste. All Photos of the male organs are credited to Marie Luppino and her Cat from BIO-211-01. Female ID: Uterine Body & Uterine Horns: Uterus: The Function of the Uterus is to maintain

structure found in the male reproductive system. There are two ductus deferens and they are identical in their structure and function. The primary function of the ductus deferens is to store and transport sperm to the ejaculatory duct, connecting the epididymis, merging into the urethra pushing it forward and allowing the sperm to exit the body. The ductus deferens are designed for this function, characterised by thick muscular walls, which perform peristalsis. The inside wall consists of a moist folded

The tendon is a flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone. The origin is the end that doesn’t move when the contraction occurs, while the insertion is the moves with the contraction. The superficial is the thin layer of loose fatty connective tissue underlying the dermis and binding it to the parts beneath it. The antagonist in a movement refers to the muscles that oppose the agonist. During elbow flexion where the bicep is the agonist, the tricep

Testes and reproductive organ weight Oral administration of tebuconazole caused a significant (P ≤ 0.01) decrease in the weight of testes, epididymis and seminal vesicles at the duration of 15 days and highly significant (P ≤ 0.001) decrease in the weight of testes, epididymis and seminal vesicles in 30 and 45 days at the dose of 250 mg/kg bwt/ day in the experimental rats. However, tebuconazole showed a non significant decrease in the weight of ventral prostate at the duration of 15 days wherever

The animals were dissected and blood samples were collected from Retro-orbital plexus, centrifuged immediately after collection, and stored at −20°C for biochemical assay. Then the testis and epididymis were carefully dissected out and trimmed of all fat and blood. Epididymis was removed, minced in 1 ml phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2)(13). The testes tissues was homogenized and supernatant stored at −20°C for further assay, testicular tissues were immediately fixed in 4% formaldehyde

been shown to induce post-testicular infertility by the effects on epididymal sperm maturation (Ouvrier et al., 2011). The regulation of cholesterol and lipid homeostasis in the epididymis via Liver X Receptors (LXR) is a significant factor in maintaining male fertility. Cholesterol during sperm maturation in the epididymis Sperm from the seminiferous tubules of the testis are immotile and unable to fertilize an oocyte. Epididymal maturation, a process in which severe surface protein and lipid modifications

fibroblasts. Ovaries of affected animals exhibited foci of necrosis involving secondary follicles and stroma, with antigen present in mpinge s and thecal cells of follicles and in stromal spindle cells. Mild necrotizing lesions of the testes and epididymis contained viral antigen within interstitial spindle cells of both structures and within tubular epithelium of the

secrete fluid that partially composes semen to make it sticky. Prostate- Secretes the fluid that makes up 30% of semen to reduce the acidity of the vaginal cavity and prolong the lifespan of spermatozoa. Vas Deferens- Tubes that carry sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory glands. Urethra- A tube which connects the urinary bladder to the urinary meatus for the removal of fluids. Cowper's glands- a gland which contributes 5% of an ejaculation and reduces the acidity of urine in the urethra. Penis-

Do you know how you were born? Do you know how you came to be? The reproductive system is the system that made that all possible. Without the reproductive system you wouldn’t have been born. In order to produce offspring, the male and female reproductive systems have to be different. Each system has different parts, problems and care. Each system have different purposes, the male reproductive system’s function is to produce sperm, while the female reproductive system’s function is to produce ova
