Human Reproductive System

Release of sperms from the seminiferous tubules is called spermiation. 

Mature RBCs do not have any nucleus or cell organelle.

Mullerian-inhibiting substance prevents development of Mullerian ducts into a uterus and fallopian tubes. Absence of the substance would lead to persistence of these structures in a male.

It maximises the chances of a couple conceiving quickly. 

It is the male reproductive cell. It cannot divide itself and has a limited life span.

The serous covering of the testis is known as tunica vaginalis. It is a pouch of serous membrane originated from the processus vaginalis of the peritoneum.

It is a lean and thin layer, which loosely invests the cord. It is a continuation downward of the transversalis fascia.

These cells assist with sperm development provide a protective environment, and create a barrier between sperm cells and the circulatory system.

It is the inflammation of one or both testes. It may be caused by sexually transmitted diseases (STD), such as gonorrhea or chlamydia.

Primordial follicles are indiscernible to the naked eye. However, these eventually develop into primary, secondary and tertiary vesicular follicles.They accommodate a primary oocyte and several layers of follicle cells.

Each seminiferous tubule is enclosed by a thin layer of contractile myoid cells, which produce waves of contraction to propel immature and immotile spermatozoa out of the testis.

The ampulla is the second portion of the uterine tube. It is an intermediate dilated portion of the ovary. It is the most dominant site of human fertilization.

The cremaster covers the testis. It displaces the testes in order to regulate the temperature of the testes and promote spermatogenesis.

The Fallopian tube (also called oviduct) transports the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Fertilization typically occurs in the Fallopian tube. Vasa efferentia and epididymis are male reproductive structures, while the vagina is the birth canal leading to the external environment.

Fertilization in humans typically occurs in the Fallopian tube (oviduct), where the sperm meets and fuses with the egg after ovulation. The uterus is where implantation and development occur, ovaries produce eggs, and the vagina is the birth canal.
