SPERMATOGENESIS
Spermatocytogenesis: spermatogonia differentiate
into primary spermatocytes
Meiosis: reduction division whereby diploid primary
spermatocytes reduce their chromosome
complement, forming haploid spermatids
Spermiogenesis: transformation of spermatids into
spermatozoa (sperm)

ACCESORY GLANDS

Produce The Non Cellular

Component of Semen

Medical Faculty of Udayana University.

seminal vesicles
folded mucosa, lined
with cuboidal or
pseudostratified
columnar epithelium
produce a yellowish
secretion
(carbohydrates,
citrate, inositol,
prostaglandins ) acts
as spermatozoaactivating
substances

Prostat Glands

Prostat Glands

Medical Faculty of Udayana University.

Prostat Glands
The prostatic secretion
constitutes a part of
semen.
It is a serous, white fluid
rich in lipids, proteolytic
enzymes, acid
phosphatase, fibrinolysin,
and citric acid.
The function of the
prostatic glands are
regulated by
dihydrotestosterone

Medical Faculty of Udayana University.

Bulbourethral Gland
Location : proximal to
the membranous portion
of the urethra and empty
into it.
Tubuloalveolar glands
lined with mucussecreting simple cuboidal
epithelium.
Secreted clear mucus ,
acts as a lubricant.
