Testis and membranes of the testis
Excurrent duct system
Glands of the reproductive tract
Structures for the copulation
Anatomy of the male
Gonads localization
Perienal
What is common?
Suspended outside the abdomen
Inguinal
Anatomy of the male
Scrotum - layers
Integument
Superficial
Dartos
Spermatic fascia
Cremaster muscle
Vaginal tunic
Deep
parietal
visceral
Anatomy of the male
Cremaster muscle
Scrotum
Integument
Dartos
Spermatic fascia
Vaginal tunic parietal
visceral
Anatomy of the male
Layers derived from the absominal wall
Integument
Scrotum
Superficial abdominal fascia
Superficial vaginal fascia
Muscles of the abdomen
Cremaster muscle
Deep abdominal fascia –
transversalis fascia
Deep vaginal fascia
Peritoneo
Tonaca vaginale
Anatomy of the male
Scrotum – skin and dartos
• Suspension and protection of the testis
• Involved in the termoregulation
Anatomy of the male
Cremaster muscle
• Striated muscle
• Voluntary muscle
• Connected with the inguinal ring
Anatomy of the male
Spermatic fascia
Component of the inguinal canal
Aid movement of the testis
Anatomy of the male
Vaginal tunic
Derived from the peritoneum
Superficial
Deep
Form a vaginal cavity
Follow the testes during the descent
Anatomy of the male
Testis
Two crucial functions
1 - Gametogenic
2 - Endocrine
Anatomy of the male
Testis
Different orientation in different species
cranial
cranial
caudal
caudal
Stallion – ventrocaudal major axis
Ruminants – vertical major axis
caudal
Dog and boar – dorsocaudal major axis
cranial
Anatomy of the male
Vessels of the testis
Spermatic cord
Within the vaginal canal
- deferent duct
- testicular arteria
- venous arteria
Physiology of the male
Descent of the testis
Original position near the kidney
Moves at different ages – fetus
Drived by the gumernaculum testis
Physiology of the male
Descent of the testis
Residuals of the gubernaculum testis
testicular proper ligament
ligament of the epididymis tail
scrotal ligament
Physiology of the male
Thermoregulation
Working temperature lower (2-6°C)
than body temperature
Increased temperture affect sperm production
Relative common cause of infertility in some species
Physiology of the male
Thermoregulation
Mechanisms of thermoregulation:
Mechanic: crematere muscle – tunica dartos
Thermic exchange: pampiniferous plexus
Physiology of the male
Thermoregulation
Evaporation at the scrotal surface
Reduced temperature
of the arterial blood
Reduced temperature
of the venous blood
Thermal exchange between V and
A at the pampiniferous plexus
Physiology of the male
Thermoregulation
Crucial effect of the temperature
Transient temperature of 40.5°C for 2 h
Increased requirement of metabolic support
Cellular suffering and apoptosis
(primary spermatocytes; spermatogonia B; shperical spermatids)
Anatomy of the male
Testis
Structure
Deep vaginal tunic
Albuginea tunic
Testicular capsule
Connective supports to the lobuli (200-300)
testicular mediastinum
Anatomy of the male
Testis
Structure
Each testicular lobule
scaffold of connective tissue
capillar network
compaction of the seminuferous tubules
Anatomy of the male
Testis
Structure
Seminiferous tubule
Convoluted portion (spermatogenesis)
Straight portion (excretion)
Anatomy of the male

Pivotal role in the
spermatogenesis
Anatomy of the male
Cells of the testis
Sertoli cells
1) blood-testis barrier
2) support and nutrition of germinal cells
3) movement of germinal cells to the lumen
4) discharge of mature spermatids
5) phagocytosis of degenerated cells
6) secretion of fluids
7) cell-to-cell comunication
