• lobule


  bawat paikot at ang bawat lobule ay separated with a tissue named septum
• capsule


  isang buong bilog (kasama si lobule and septum)
• spermatogenesis


  creation of sperm cells
• three types of male reproductive cells

  • sperm cells
  • leydig cells
  • sertoli cells
• sperm cells


  nagtataglay ng genetic make-up necessary for reproduction
• sertoli cells


  extend from basement from membrane to lumen

  • acts a support mechanism for a growing sperm cells
  • plays a vital role in the maturation phase of sperm
  • supplies necessary nutrients and minerals for the growing sperm
  • produce fluid and control release of sperm into lumen
  • secretes inhibin which slows sperm production
• leydig cells


  secretes testosterone
• three parts of sperm

  • head
  • midpiece
  • tail (flagellum)
• head is a part of sperm cells: what is called the tip of head? this is also responsible for drilling the cell membrane of the egg cell during the process of pre-fertilization

  acrosome
• anong part ng sperm cells yung nakakapasok lang sa egg cell where the genetic make-up lies?

  head
• what are the three accessory sex glands of a male reproductive system? which is also under the ejaculatory duct

  • seminal vesicles
  • prostate gland
  • cowper's gland
• seminal vesicles


  secretes 60% of clear, alkaline seminal fluid, with fructose sugar, ATP and prostaglandins for normal sperm nutrition & function chemicals for coagulation of semen. to simply put, it keeps the sperm healthy during that delivery
• prostate gland


  secretes 30% of milky, slightly acidic seminal fluid with an antibiotic to kill bacteria. to simply put, it keeps the sperm protected. nagtataglay ng anti-bacterial properties so that it will keep the sperm protected during the delivery
• cowper's gland


  secrete clear, alkaline mucus to buffer and lubricate urethra (10%)

  the remaining 10% acts as a lubricating agent for the urethra to speed up the ejection of the semen. to simply put, it keep the sperm's fast delivery while having sexual intercourse
• 2.5 mL to 5 mL in volume


  typical ejaculate
• 50 to 150 million per mL


  normal sperm count
