The Reproductive System Composition a Internal genital organ a Gonads(sex glands manufacture the sex cells an secrete the sex hormones o Genital ducts transport the sex cells from the site of production into site fertilization o Accessory glands secrete the fluid External genital organ
The Reproductive System Composition ◼ Internal genital organ ❑ Gonads (sex glands) －manufacture the sex cells an secrete the sex hormones. ❑ Genital ducts － transport the sex cells from the site of production into site fertilization ❑ Accessory glands －secrete the fluid ◼ External genital organ

Gonad- testis General features Paired, smooth, ovoid male reproductive organ, slightly flattened anteroposteriorly Located in scrotum Produces sperm and secretes androgens
Gonad – testis General features ◼ Paired, smooth, ovoid male reproductive organ, slightly flattened anteroposteriorly ◼ Located in scrotum ◼ Produces sperm and secretes androgens
Gonad- testis Structures of testis Tunica albuginea: a tough fibrous coat ao Septula testis: numerous fibrous into the gland Lobules of testis contain the contorted seminiferous tubules Striaght seminiferous tubules Rete testis Efferent ductules of testis open into the head of the epididymis

Testis Seminiferous tubules
Testis Seminiferous tubules
Epididymis Comma-shaped, with head body and tail of epididymis Located on superior extremity and posterolateral aspect of testis Contains tortuous canal that extends from testis to ductus deferens in spermatic cord Function -the site of accumulation and storage of sperm
Epididymis ◼ Comma-shaped, with head, body and tail of epididymis ◼ Located on superior extremity and posterolateral aspect of testis ◼ Contains tortuous canal that extends from testis to ductus deferens in spermatic cord ◼ Function – the site of accumulation and storage of sperm
Ductus deferens a thick-walled muscular tube approximately 45 cm in length It transports sperm form epididymis to ejaculatory duct
