00:02 All right, good morning campers. we are entering into our discussion of

00:10 reproductive systems. Remember this is And what we're going to do over

00:16 course of today is we're going to look at some shared ideas about the

00:23 systems. So we'll look at, example, how we make games.

00:28 right. So, gametogenesis is kind one thing we're gonna cover. Uh

00:33 we'll kind of look at some shared that both males and females have.

00:37 right. But then once we do , we're gonna then move in and

00:39 gonna focus directly on male reproductive And then on Tuesday, Thursday,

00:45 ? On Tuesday, next week, look at the female reproductive system and

00:48 we'll start looking at how those systems regulated through hormones. And then in

00:54 lecture following that, we will then look at how we bring the male

00:58 female reproductive systems together to actually start organisms. All right. And

01:05 we'll be looking at uh placentation, , uh embryogenesis, that sort of

01:11 . Uh So, uh just to of give you the big picture,

01:15 is not a sex talk. So is not like a, a,

01:19 know, a class. This is what are the structures and how do

01:24 work class? OK. And so starting point is to kind of correct

01:30 that has pervaded through. Um I'm not going to, I'm going

01:35 call it social consciousness, but it's . It's, it's even permeated into

01:39 sciences. The difference is between some terms that we use over and over

01:46 over again to describe sex and And the other term is attraction.

01:50 what are the differences and what do words mean? And why do they

01:54 ? Because part of the way that talk to one another means we have

01:58 have a common language, right? in probably in the last 20 years

02:03 so, two words have really been together and they mean absolutely two different

02:08 . All right, we're gonna talk the difference between what sex is and

02:12 gender is as a first step. to start everything off first, to

02:18 humans are sexually dimorphic, right? dimorphic. And what does that

02:25 Well, that means that there are between the two sexes that exist in

02:33 uh humans really. And this is much true in all mammals, all

02:37 . And so what they are, are the characteristics that you can look

02:40 something and say this is this sex it goes beyond just the sexual

02:45 All right. And so here, got a couple of list of things

02:48 you can kind of see here. these are, for example, secondary

02:52 characteristics, right? Sex, secondary characteristics are those features which are inherent

02:57 an organism that distinguish it between one another. All right. So for

03:03 , the male body type is typically now notice I use the word typically

03:08 there is a bell curve in all these things. So if you were

03:11 think of the male uh uh what would the male shape be look

03:18 ? Hm, right? Broad So, so what we term it

03:23 we call it like the carrot All right. So the carrot shape

03:27 broad shoulders and we thin down like . So you can see it's kind

03:31 like a carrot, it's a upside down triangle, right? When

03:35 get older, you add the circle front. So you have the apple

03:38 well, right? And then what the female? What is the typical

03:42 shape? Hourglass? That's an easy because that's one that we hear about

03:46 see about all the time. That's example of a secondary sexual characteristic.

03:49 males have an hourglass uh uh Yes, but it's typical to a

03:54 . Could a female have a carrot ? Yes, but it's atypical.

04:00 right. But this is an example secondary sexual characteristics. Facial hair is

04:04 secondary sexual characteristic, for example, the size weight, anatomical structures.

04:12 so I've actually thrown up here, of the things that you guys have

04:15 about. Um but tangent. So example, this is the ox

04:20 the male and female pelvis are And so when anthropologists dig up

04:27 they look at that, that, skeleton, they say this was a

04:31 that lived during this period of And they know that because the bones

04:35 the female are different than the bones the male, not subtly but

04:40 And this is just trying to, to show you an example of

04:45 There are behavioral and cognitive differences. , when you think cognitive, that

04:50 mean one is smarter than the other some days you might want to make

04:53 case. All right. But for , males are really, really good

04:58 the whole at three dimensional orientation and . So we can take an object

05:04 we can twist it in our brains kind of see three dimensionally what it

05:07 look like. Women struggle with that the whole. But you know,

05:11 you ladies are really, really good is remembering where things are. There

05:16 been studies that have been done like taken maps and said, we want

05:19 to look at this for a minute and here's all these different things on

05:23 , on the picture and then they it away and they say here's a

05:26 , the same picture. But we stuff and added stuff. Can you

05:28 out what it is? Guys stare that. We can't figure out what's

05:31 added or what's been taken away. are like, yeah, these 40

05:34 is what's been added or what's been away. This would be an example

05:38 cognitive differences. Ok. Behavioral Ladies behavior behave differently than men do

05:46 vice versa. Ladies, have you looked at a bunch of guys

05:49 boy, they're a bunch of Yeah, I'm looking at,

05:53 they're, they're laughing because yes, longer you're around the opposite sex,

05:57 more you realize how different they are you. All right. So there's

06:03 these differences can be subtle or they be exaggerated and there is evidence that

06:10 actual sexual selection towards these traits. other words, because you require a

06:16 and a female to reproduce. There favors or, or, or characteristics

06:22 as a organism as a whole, are more attracted to which pushes the

06:29 of that trait being elevated within a organ or society or group,

06:37 So the reason we are, the we are and why we're so different

06:41 because those things resulted, made, those sexes attractive and so they people

06:48 as a function of that and it those particular traits into the population right

06:58 . I said there are a couple terms here that we need to be

07:01 of and I said we have we have gender and we have attraction

07:04 you'll notice I don't even have attraction here. I want you to

07:06 be aware of at least these two . All right, in biology and

07:11 we are as a biology course we refer to as things being,

07:14 a biological sex. All right. this is really the result of the

07:19 or absence of a specific chromosome. Y chromosome being the one that males

07:24 X X being the one that females , right? The type of gonad

07:28 have is an example of something that rise to biological sex. So if

07:33 look at an organism, you see pair of testes and you go into

07:36 and you and you dissect them, go OK, this is a

07:40 right? If you cut into an and you find ovaries, you'd be

07:44 , oh, that's a female because characteristics belong to the biological sex.

07:51 hormones are being produced. And we're to see that there's a lot of

07:54 hormones. But we've already talked a bit about the dominance of certain hormones

07:58 males and females, right? The anatomy, right? External genitality.

08:05 are all ways that we can look an organism for the most part and

08:08 this is its biological sex. And of you are saying that, but

08:11 , Doctor Wayne, I know about . Intersex is a term that we

08:16 to talk about development or it's, , this, I'm gonna get it

08:21 here. It's DS D and uh, the last terms are sexual

08:27 and it's a developmental, sexual In other words, during development,

08:32 didn't go. Right. And so have occurred, right. And abnormal

08:38 mean wrong. It means not within regular population. I want you to

08:43 clear on that. There is also is, what we refer to as

08:47 sex. And this is determined specifically the chromosomes. And so if you're

08:52 X, you are a female, you're X Y, you are

08:56 And again, there are abnormalities within population what we call again, really

09:02 result of that intersect where you have . So you can have things like

09:08 syndrome or Turner syndrome. These are you have extra or too little or

09:12 few of those particular chromosomes. And are a plethora of problems that can

09:19 through the genetic, these genetic All right. So we have biological

09:26 , which is based on anatomical For the most part, we have

09:30 sex, which is based on chromosomal . And then we have gender.

09:35 , gender is a term that that into the lexicon into the biological lexicon

09:41 about 1956 or 58. So it's fairly new term and this term arose

09:48 of a paper that was written by psychologist who was doing this horrific experiment

09:53 humans and I'm not gonna go into it was, but it was,

09:57 , it violates every ethical thing that could possibly imagine. And if I

10:02 you about it you'd be like, can't believe they did that.

10:04 it was 1958 and they didn't have the rules we have now.

10:08 But what gender was, was a taken from the social sciences. And

10:13 it refers to is the differences between and femininity. All right. So

10:20 can have a masculine woman. Do believe that's true. Yeah. Could

10:24 have a, a feminine male? also true. And could you have

10:29 in between? Yes. So what refers to is the degrees of masculinity

10:34 femininity and it refers to a behavioral societal traits and we assign those traits

10:40 on observation, right? So when say guys act like monkeys or

10:46 you know, when we misbehave or bunch of pigs, you, you

10:51 in your mind, there is a behavior, right? And so that

10:55 a masculine behavior, doesn't it? when we say women are dainty and

11:00 and sweet and all the other fun you want to throw in the sugar

11:03 spice and everything nice, right? are we done? What have we

11:06 ? We've assigned traits and saying these feminine. Ok. So gender has

11:15 to do with the external structures of body. That's anatomical. It's

11:22 then there's the third term that you see up here and we're just gonna

11:25 deal with it. That's attraction, ? Attraction simply is what arouses you

11:32 . All right. And so you be masculine, female, be attracted

11:38 a male and you're still what? ? Right? So you have your

11:44 , your gender and your attraction and all different things and they all mean

11:49 things right now, what am I test you? Well, what's the

11:53 of gender? What's the definition of ? We're not gonna worry about attraction

11:57 that's not what this class is Our class is about what are the

12:01 and what do they do? And to understand all these things, I

12:05 you to have that baseline. And , I'll be honest, I'm,

12:09 a real stickler about, about this whenever I see a form that ask

12:13 what my gender is. I actually it out and put sex because they're

12:16 asking me if I'm mascular. If feminine, are they? Yeah,

12:20 know. I'm gonna ask, what I say? All right. So

12:25 you've never taken any sort of let's kind of understand who we are

12:29 a genetic level. All right. so this is baseline, heredity.

12:33 right. First off, we have , which is where all our genetic

12:39 is held and humans have 23 So what we do is we inherit

12:46 chromosomes from mom and we inherit 23 from dad. So that's a

12:50 right? So that's 46 total But we refer to them as 23

12:55 . All right. And so what say is, is that because we

12:58 a pair that is a ploy, many multiplicative of our chromosomes do we

13:05 ? It's not the number. So are diploid. So two die

13:11 So our ploidy is deployed. Most are diploid. All right. And

13:17 when we see this as an abbreviation the text and stuff like that,

13:20 see things like two N and that just refers to. All right,

13:24 not gonna bother counting up the So it's just double whatever the number

13:28 chromosomes we have. So we are times 23. So that's the

13:33 Now, of those 23 chromosomes 22 pairs are what we refer to

13:40 autosome. All right. And so that, what that means is they

13:44 have very little to do with determining sex of an organism. It's the

13:49 , the last pair which are referred as the sex chromosomes and they're identified

13:54 the sex chromosome. Because what they when we first started going through the

13:58 is we started learning, going oh chromosome? When it's present results in

14:02 in and creating a male, when take the y away, you don't

14:06 a male, you get a female so this is why they're referred to

14:10 the sex chromosomes. If you look them and you can see up here

14:13 the picture in that little thing, X chromosome is huge. The Y

14:16 is a little tiny, broken right? And so you can have

14:19 with that lady is like, the Y chromosome is just a little

14:21 X chromosome, right? And the is is there's about 30,000 genes on

14:26 X chromosome. There's about 30 genes the Y chromosome. And of those

14:30 genes, are they all involved in and sex determination? What do you

14:34 ? No, that's, that's a answer. No, most of them

14:37 to do with a whole bunch of stuff. But remember women, you're

14:42 to inherit an X from your mom an X from your dad. So

14:46 have two X chromosomes and males. inherit an X from your mom and

14:51 wife from your dad, right? you have an X chromosome to do

14:55 that autosomal stuff from your mom. then your Y is what's determining your

15:02 sex? All right. Now, said all that, what is the

15:09 here? Well, in order for to reproduce what we need to do

15:13 we need to create a cell that can then merge with another cell.

15:18 right. So we're basically taking these cells, one from mom and one

15:22 dad and we call these cells Right? So mom produces a game

15:27 . Dad produces a game meat. gamete that mom produces is gonna be

15:31 an o site. The game that produces is called a sperm. But

15:35 they were deployed, what would happen , is you'd have two N plus

15:40 N and they'd come together and now have an organism that's four in and

15:44 doesn't work because the next generation would four plus four and then you'd have

15:48 in and then eight in plus eight would be 16 in. And you

15:51 see how this becomes a nightmare. , this is ok in plants.

15:56 fact, oak trees are the weirdest ever. They have like this infinite

16:00 of chromosome sets that they can do you took doctor uh farmer or doctor

16:05 uh uh uh biology class you got it was if you took the general

16:10 , you got to mash down strawberries extract the DNA in the classroom,

16:14 of cool. Right? Strawberries are , you know, so they've got

16:20 and tons and tons of copies of same thing, but that doesn't work

16:24 humans. So, what we had do is we have to come up

16:27 this strategy that allows us to reduce number of, of chromosomes in our

16:35 because the gammy needs to be one . They have to have 23

16:40 not a 23 chromosomal pair, So the process of the reproductive

16:46 and first and foremost is to produce gamm that is then capable of taking

16:52 portion half of the genetic code that parent has and then taking it to

16:57 other gamete and bringing those two gametes to create a unique organism that is

17:04 function. All right. So gametogenesis is the process of making those

17:11 So when the first thing, when think about a reproductive system is

17:14 it is its job is to produce gammy. Now, to help you

17:19 this process, which we're gonna go here, you need to first understand

17:24 . You guys all learn about mitosis one point in your life. If

17:27 took biology at high school or if taken biology here in college, you've

17:32 seen it 1000 times and every time kind of go, I'm going to

17:35 it and OK, check mark and move on, right? It's multiple

17:39 and what you have, you take cell which has, it's, it's

17:43 in number and then it goes through phases of duplicating its DNA,

17:48 So it goes from two N to two N. And then what it

17:52 is it takes those chromosome pairs and them up on the center and then

17:56 splits the cell in half and it the chromosome number or sets equally between

18:02 daughter cells. It splits its nucleus well as the cell. And then

18:06 end up with two clones that look the same as the parent and exactly

18:11 same as each other. All as when the parents started off.

18:16 so that was, that's what mitosis . And so there's the four

18:19 prophase metaphasis and a and then you through the cell division and you

18:23 that's the division of cytoplasm where it's cytokinesis, that's the term that we

18:28 . And then that's how we get cells. And this is kind of

18:31 it looks like right here. All , this is an easier way to

18:33 of look at it. So you see up there if you look at

18:36 top of the picture up here. me find my little thing right up

18:39 . You can see we're, we're this simple, we're only giving it

18:42 chromosomes, right? But it's two . So it's two times two,

18:47 is four. If you count them , it's like, oh yeah,

18:48 see four up there but 22 What do you think the pink belonged

18:54 ? What, what does social convention pink belongs to female? Right?

18:59 those that, that's DNA that belonged mom, they put in green up

19:04 to distinguish it from the background blue normally they use blue, right?

19:09 would be from dad. So you chromosome one and two from mom.

19:12 one and two from dad you can here, I've duplicated each of those

19:16 . I've aligned them. I, separating it out so that each daughter

19:21 gets its own chromosomal set. So you looked at this and counted

19:25 you'll see its same number of And that's why the daughters look exactly

19:29 same as the parent. That's mitosis a nutshell. Right. But as

19:34 mentioned, this doesn't work if you're to reproduce sexually because if I'm taking

19:40 gammy from mom and a game from and they each produce one of

19:44 then the next generation will have twice amount of DNA. And so meiosis

19:52 a solution to the mitosis problem. again, you've probably seen my or

19:59 before. All right. And very when it's taught, they say,

20:03 , look meiosis, you have all same steps and you do and what

20:07 do is you replicate it twice. meiosis one and then meiosis two,

20:10 each have a prophase metas. And , you can go look at those

20:14 what they mean. But if you're paying close attention, you don't see

20:20 you get the, why you need second division. And it's not just

20:24 you just go through mitosis twice. because if you went through mitosis

20:29 you'd have to replicate your DNA at middle step and it doesn't happen

20:34 Instead, what we're gonna do is gonna do something unique in one of

20:39 early stages in pro phase. So going to replicate our DNA like we

20:43 do. All right. But what ? I'm just gonna go to this

20:47 here. All right. Do you the pink and the blue now?

20:55 . So on the left here, we have is we have mitosis,

20:58 ? And so you can see over two in, I've doubled my

21:01 I've lined everything up. There's my , there are two in as well

21:04 here. I'm starting off as two . I'm going to end up down

21:07 at one end. So something unique happening whenever something weird or something

21:11 you have to say, where is happening? And if you look

21:15 if you look here, this is the change is. So I've still

21:19 the DNA. But what's happening is that the chromosome pairs? So like

21:25 and dad's DNA, when it's they all stick together, they form

21:29 is called a tetrad right now. normal circumstances, I pulled a couple

21:34 guys up here and I demonstrate but you're all sitting there looking at

21:37 like, please just get on with . So we're not gonna do that

21:40 . But do you see how, , I have a pair here.

21:43 there's dad's DNA and there's mom's they're not hooked up, they're not

21:48 to each other. They're floating freely of one another. But over here

21:55 connect with each other. And hang with each other. All right.

21:59 that's the tetrad. So when they and you can see up here,

22:03 dad's DNA aligned, there's that same of moms and it's aligned so that

22:08 I divide this, each half of pairs are going to go to the

22:13 over here. Because when I line , what happens is when I split

22:20 in half, I only get either DNA or I only get dad's

22:25 The gamm only gets half, but has two copies of that half.

22:32 so because I have too much I have to go through that second

22:35 and that's why we go through that mitotic step. So I become haploid

22:40 when I go through the division, ? So I go from 2 to

22:45 in but I still have twice the of DNA. Does that kind of

22:50 sense or do you want to visually it visually? See it?

22:55 guess what? I'm gonna have to a couple of you up here.

22:59 right. So I need two So you are, you guys are

23:02 in the splash zone and I need young women who are going to come

23:07 here. You want to see So you get to see it.

23:11 right. Come on actually. No way. Uh OK. Come

23:18 , Jalen. All right. We're make this easy. We just come

23:22 to the stage. All right. the men are quick you guys to

23:26 what chromosome are we gonna be? can't be not sex. Chromosome

23:34 All right. So here is dad's number one. Do you see

23:37 Excellent. No, now we're gonna you way over here because you don't

23:40 yet. All right. And then need Chomos number one from mom.

23:43 you see that? Look at We got a mom chromosome and a

23:46 chromosome, chromosome number one, OK. So what's gonna happen?

23:50 gonna do mitosis first. So the thing that happens in mitosis, we

23:54 our DNA. So when I duplicate DNA, see we're connected together and

24:01 duplicate our DNA and, and then we're gonna do is we're going to

24:07 along the center. So we're gonna the back over here and then we

24:12 in the center. All right. then what we're gonna do is we're

24:18 divide the cell cytokinesis and look, get two daughter cells copy of

24:25 sorry. And a copy of copy of mom, copy of dad

24:28 is easy, right? OK. where we start, dad's DNA,

24:35 DNA make a copy, make a and then we make a tetrad,

24:45 all connected together. Now, notice can imagine there's 22 other chromosomes,

24:51 all lined up, right? This this, they can't separate from each

24:54 because they're all connected. So when go through the first cytokinesis. Look

24:59 happens. One cell gets two copies dad's DNA, but they're connected.

25:07 ? And the other one gets two of mom's DNA. This doesn't

25:12 right? So what do we have do? We have to go through

25:14 second cell division. So we end with four daughters, each one with

25:22 copy. So they're haploid. All . And these are gays. Thank

25:28 so much. You understand, you are winners. So that's what you're

25:34 here. It's that tetrad that that allows us to then go through

25:40 second division and reducing the total copies chromosomes that we have. This process

25:48 gametogenesis is a shared um process between males and females. All right.

25:56 all the steps are going to be same in males and females, the

26:01 is gonna be different and the timing going to be different. So when

26:05 think of go to Genesis, I , OK, I'm starting off with

26:09 cell and then at the very end , that's deployed. And at the

26:12 end, I'm going to end up a haploid cell. Now, in

26:16 for this to happen, the first that we need to do is we

26:19 to make lots and lots and lots gas, right? So in order

26:23 do that, we have to create very large pool of gas. So

26:27 first step of al gametogenesis is Let's make lots all we got to

26:32 is just duplicate, duplicate, duplicate. And so that's what that

26:35 step is. Right. That's a step. And during this step,

26:38 is where you're gonna see the game . All right. And that's just

26:41 word that says the, the, prefix just tells you the generic.

26:45 a game I'm making games. But cell that I'm producing the gonia part

26:50 you that I'm in mitosis. All . So you can imagine, I'm

26:55 tons and tons and tons and tons gamines. Now again, it's gonna

26:59 different in males and females. What , what that translates into the second

27:04 is the myotic step. So what going to do is we're going to

27:08 one of these gam eats. All . So you can see here,

27:11 basically making lots of these, but of them is going to come out

27:14 differentiate and once it differentiates, it's to go through these meiotic steps to

27:19 that haploid gam meat. So that's second step and the second step.

27:24 so these type of games are called . So the, the, the

27:30 C Y T E tells you it's in nature. And then the third

27:35 is this step of modification. So see here, I did the three

27:40 right mitosis meiosis modification. The third here, what we're doing is we're

27:46 that game that Gammy that we made it's not quite ready to actually go

27:52 and fertilize or join up with another . Instead, something has to

27:57 some sort of change needs to This is that modification step. And

28:02 uh what we're gonna do is we're to change things and what we refer

28:06 this as is a tid. So you see T ID at the end

28:09 the world, that just means, , I'm still in the stages of

28:13 . All right. So it doesn't if you're looking at spermatogenesis or o

28:17 , these three steps exist and you're to see something gonia. So,

28:22 , in males, it would be . In females, it would be

28:26 oh gonia. All right. So see a mitotic step. You'll see

28:30 meiotic step, you'll see a modification in all three. And so our

28:34 point is the easier one. Can say something that's kind of offensive?

28:39 that all right? What do you you can tell me now?

28:43 OK. I can't. All She said no. So I can't

28:47 anything offensive now. OK. They're with it. All right. So

28:53 gonna use this because I think this the easier one to learn first and

28:58 take this as the model and then it to oh Genesis. I'm

29:04 I can't help it. I've I've got to be rude. One

29:08 the things I'm gonna try to prove the next three days is this

29:14 So just get ready to be OK? Men are simple. Women

29:18 complicated. OK? I'm gonna try prove that this is the first step

29:27 me trying to prove it. Women , men are simple. Women are

29:31 . All right. If after three , I haven't proved that point.

29:34 can come in my office and yell me perfectly. OK? With

29:38 it's never happened, but I'm All right. So first step,

29:44 looking at spermatogenesis from first step of is going to be the mitotic

29:50 All right. And so what you see up here is that we are

29:53 off with the progenitor sperma. There's stages here and we're not going to

29:57 hard on this type A type B . It actually even gets weirder.

30:00 type a dark type, a pale yada yada yada. But the idea

30:04 is I'm starting off with a population cells and I need to make lots

30:08 them. OK. Now, I you to think about, I

30:12 we haven't talked about this yet. there's a lot of jumping forward and

30:16 back in the male ejaculate in The average ejaculate contains about 200 million

30:23 400 million spermatozoa. So there's a of cells there. All right,

30:30 you didn't have the mitotic set uh steps, you can imagine the number

30:35 copulative events, the number of times uh a male could engage in sex

30:39 they ran out is probably incredibly All right. So you need mitosis

30:45 that you can constantly produce sperm. we're gonna see here that men produce

30:51 a lot. That is primarily our . Men are simple. We make

30:57 . Ok. So, first step , we're going to make tons and

31:01 of that. All right. So the sperma goa that you're producing here

31:04 they're going down, this is just , look, I'm going to pull

31:07 out that is in this process of . And then once I get

31:10 I'm just going to keep amplifying. I can get tons of these cells

31:13 then each of these cells that I are then going to go through the

31:17 steps. So this is meiosis, ? And so you start with the

31:21 gonia and it switches and becomes a spermatocyte right now site. Remember we

31:27 deals with meiosis and we have a one and a meiosis two. So

31:32 means it's in meiosis one, it through those steps that we just described

31:36 haploid and divides. Now you're in two. So you're now a secondary

31:44 and then the secondary spermatocyte has to uh go through that division again,

31:52 ? So it's first division, second . And then now the product of

31:57 second division is entering into the third . The modification stage which we call

32:04 . Notice spermatogenesis is the whole process little step is spermiogenesis. And what

32:09 doing is we're taking a sperma tid we're going to modify it so that

32:13 becomes the thing that we're most familiar . And you can see up here

32:17 the picture here we have a sperma and you can see what is,

32:21 round and it's also connected to the cells. And then when you think

32:28 a sperm, your entire life, is sperm supposed to have looked

32:32 When you think of a picture of sperm, what does it look like

32:34 you? A fish tadpole is another I hear. All right. So

32:39 got to turn that round cell and it a swimmer. So this is

32:43 modification process, right? And so where we get to the spermatozoa.

32:47 , spermiogenesis allows us to go through modification so that we get the spermatozoa

32:53 there's quite a few modifications that take . Now, spermatogenesis and again,

32:59 knowing the anatomy is going to take in a very specific location which we're

33:02 to get to by the end of class, it takes place in what

33:05 called the seminiferous epithelium. All So when we get to that,

33:09 just say, look back a couple slides to know where we're taking

33:12 This picture shows you the Seminis This is within the gonad, within

33:18 testis. All right. And so this is showing you is that this

33:21 a big giant tube. This is basement membrane. So the wall of

33:25 tube and here you can see the . So we start off down here

33:30 the spermatogonia. And then as you through these become spermatocyte and ultimately sperma

33:35 , those sperma tis then develop and and work their way up to the

33:40 and then are released into the lumen the seminiferous epithelium. This picture over

33:46 just shows you the time scale and of what's going on. So here

33:49 am down here, here's spermatogonia color to sperma tis, color coded then

33:55 sorry spermatic sites, then ultimately sperm and the time it takes, if

34:00 is a graph based on time, takes about 75 days for a spermatogonium

34:06 go through all of these stages and become that sperma tid. All

34:14 Now, we said spermiogenesis is a . So what's going on? We

34:18 off with this round cell and we're to end up with this elongated

34:22 And so we're doing, gonna do couple of things to make this a

34:26 . The first thing is we're gonna so that it creates this packet of

34:30 that allows it to penetrate the protective on the o site, which we'll

34:35 to a little bit later, So the goi apparatus becomes the

34:39 And that's what you're seeing here is formation of an acrosome. All

34:44 you're going to see the formation of flagellum. So those uh basal

34:50 the centris are going to migrate and you're going to get this long tail

34:53 comes out, that's going to be swimming portion, right? You're going

34:57 say, wait a second, we energy to make us a swimmer.

35:01 we're going to start making and multiplying mitochondria and we're going to put them

35:05 the base of the flagellum. And the last thing you're going to do

35:08 you're going to say, well, second and last thing is you're going

35:10 say this nucleus is way too We need to pack it down.

35:13 about you go home over a right? You have all that

35:18 right? You just, you know , oh, I'm just gonna carry

35:21 bags of laundry. No, you it into the suitcases, you tighten

35:25 up like you get those shirts, know what you'd normally fold nice and

35:28 like, I don't care about I'm gonna roll it up into a

35:31 little ball and I'm gonna jam everything the suitcase. That's what we're gonna

35:34 with the DNA because we wanna make lean and mean, we wanna make

35:38 small so that it can be packed and get to where it needs to

35:44 and we got to get rid of excess stuff and that's where we're gonna

35:47 all that cytoplasm. And so this showing you the excess cytoplasm. Uh

35:53 going on here is the packing of nucleus. And so at the end

35:56 all of this process, which if look at this chart takes quite a

36:02 of time, right? I we're looking at almost 20 days to

36:07 that all taken care of so that can finally produce this sperm aid.

36:12 , spermatozoon, spermatozoon is singular. is plural. So when you look

36:18 a sperma zone, this is the that you see, these are the

36:22 important parts, we have the All right, the head is what

36:26 the nucleus, right? Or it's not the nucleus of the nuclear

36:30 It's been repackaged. We have the , remember it's the modified Goldie

36:34 It contains all these enzymes that are going to allow it to penetrate through

36:38 protective layer of the o site. have the mid piece. This is

36:43 all the mitochondria are. And then , you have the long tail and

36:49 the flagella that is responsible for its . Is there anything else that we

36:56 in this cell? No, we've energy, you know, and the

37:03 of the seminal plasma is going to the nutrients, it needs to allow

37:07 sperm to swim. But notice we have an er because we don't need

37:10 make proteins. We don't need any the other machinery of the cell because

37:14 we need is packed right here and is gonna get it to the

37:20 All right. So I'm gonna stop . Does spermatogenesis make sense mitosis biosis

37:27 , spermiogenesis making these changes? Be of what little changes are taking

37:34 Ok. Ready for our genesis For the most part takes place after

37:43 , boy, his puberty, testes , seminal uh epithelium or Seminis,

37:49 grows and expands. It gets It's filled up with the sperm as

37:53 producing. So that's about puberty. begins a little bit earlier. All

38:01 . So, again, osis just gen, I'm producing the female

38:05 All right, we're gonna go through mitotic proliferation. We're going to see

38:09 meiosis and we're gonna see some slight that takes place. But the

38:15 the myotic stages take place out in 20 of female development. So you

38:22 still in utero when the gonads are formed. And as the female gonads

38:28 being formed and the cells that are to make up, the o sites

38:32 being formed. That's where you see taking place. You see this massive

38:37 . So this is week 20 of compared to the male after puberty.

38:42 right. Now, some of this does take place in the male early

38:46 . But really, we're talking the mitotic stages in female. Is that

38:52 ? All right. So week 20 development. All right. And so

38:56 produce roughly between six and seven million sites now, ladies, do you

39:02 on having 6 to 7 million Ok. So you have plenty in

39:07 number, right? But even in process, early on between four and

39:14 million O sites fail to go through properer programming and they die off.

39:21 right. So what you're gonna see as you multiply and divide and create

39:27 big pool, they're gonna all be , hey, don't stop.

39:32 we want you all to enter into and so they all do. They're

39:37 , all right, meiosis. Here we go. They multiply their

39:41 and then because they fail in this , that's where you're gonna lose between

39:46 and five million. All right. two million, anyone here planning on

39:50 two million Children. Ok. So all good. Two million is

39:57 It is. It's enough. OK. You're shaking your head there

40:00 a second. Julie. I, , I don't know. Ok,

40:03 two million, two million, you're , you're not jealous right now.

40:06 million per ejaculate two million cells for entire lives. OK. I don't

40:12 you to be jealous. All Now, what's happened is you've entered

40:16 Myosin one, you've basically multiplied your and you've stopped. All right.

40:22 at this point, what you're gonna is you're going to form what are

40:24 follicles in the ovaries which provide the cells that are going to help

40:30 the O site develop a little bit and then everything stops and then you

40:34 to wait until puberty. So already guys are ahead of males at this

40:40 during gammy development, right? Because entered into meiosis and you're not even

40:46 yet and then nothing happens for a period of time and then you turn

40:49 , into puberty and then what we're to do is at puberty is we're

40:53 to re initiate the process. But , what we're gonna do is it's

40:59 different. All right. Not all cells at once. You're going to

41:02 through meiosis, right? What we're do is based on the presence of

41:07 hormones is we're going to select a of between 10 and 30 cells.

41:13 right, and we're gonna tell those to 30 cells is we want you

41:16 reinitiate meiosis. So remember you're starting with about two million cells at puberty

41:21 every cycle you're selecting 10 to 30 to go through the process of

41:28 Now, generally speaking, when women Children, how many do they give

41:33 to normally per birth cycle? All right, on occasion, you

41:39 get two. So when you hear to 30 something must be going on

41:45 . We're not going and using all to 30 because you are not birthing

41:50 to 30 babies at the same All right. So what's going on

41:56 is we're going through the my All right. So, we

41:59 hey, we, you, you . So we want you to start

42:02 so they go through that first myotic . All right, we're gonna get

42:06 that in just a second. But they're doing is they're continuing the process

42:09 they're gonna start working towards that so they undergo this second division. All

42:15 . So you go through that first and then what you're gonna do is

42:19 now become a secondary O site. right, secondary O site.

42:23 We've moved on, but not every of them makes it that far.

42:28 what happens during this process is some them stop responding appropriately to the hormones

42:35 are being produced in the body. right. So if you're starting

42:38 let's just make it simple. If starting off with 20 what's gonna happen

42:41 , is through a process called dominant selection is that those 20 are winnowed

42:47 to one. And it's that one really kind of makes it to become

42:53 secondary ho site. And then once get and become that secondary O site

42:59 grows and becomes the dominant follicle, the one that's destined for ovulation.

43:07 right. So the other ones are we refer to as becoming a tri

43:11 die away and we'll talk about this a little bit later, but that's

43:15 essence, what's going on. All . So, biosis two is

43:21 we need to become that tid, ? So we've, we've divided once

43:25 it's secondary side, we need a division in order to become the O

43:31 . And then once you have an tid, there's a small maturation process

43:34 this doesn't occur until after ovulation and occurs in response to fertilization. So

43:45 a secondary o site that's ovulated, out. The sperm comes along,

43:51 to the surface of that cell and that is the signal to say,

43:56 um we need to still divide. we go through the second ionic division

44:00 then small modifications take place. So existence of an O tid is

44:06 very small. It's like a couple minutes. And now you have an

44:11 tid and that spermatozoa basically form a organism. All right. So the

44:20 step after that fertilization and after that division and when you see that secondary

44:25 , so what you see here is get that division. So there is

44:29 , your um O tid, you what is called a polar body.

44:33 the extra, the extra DNA. not going to do anything. It's

44:37 let's get rid of this. And now because the sperm is already attached

44:41 the O tid, you get absolute and from that fertilization, fertilized egg

44:48 or that fertilizing process, that's where get the new organism. It has

44:52 DNA. It has um characteristics that gonna be shared from the DNA that

44:58 been that it's getting. So if put it all back together again,

45:02 of having it all separated out and all weird. Well, first off

45:07 that right? Is, are women little bit more complicated? Just a

45:11 bit? Ok. So you can here it's the same thing. It's

45:15 . It's just the timing happens very in mitosis. All right, meiosis

45:21 here at developmental week. 21st division at ovulation. Second division occurs at

45:30 , but all the same things are place. Ok. So that's gametogenesis

45:40 a nutshell. And that wasn't a . What I wanna do is I

45:46 to shift just briefly kind of go the shared structures before we do

45:51 Are there any questions about these Can you see how gametogenesis? The

45:59 basically covers both o genesis and Does that make sense? Yeah.

46:06 the hard part is just what what's unique about them, right?

46:09 there's not a lot of uniqueness other the timing and really how much is

46:15 made. So we're going to cover of this development a little bit

46:22 But I want you to understand that reproductive structures in both males and females

46:27 derived from a common structure. All , what we have is what we

46:32 a bi potential gonad. All And an undifferentiated genitalia. And then

46:39 happens is is that when that program week 20 occurs, that's when you're

46:45 pushed one direction or another. the primary reproductive organs, we refer

46:50 them as gonads, males have females have ovaries. All right,

46:54 have a whole bunch of accessory structures go with these that are unique to

46:59 of the individual sexes. We're gonna our specific type of game, but

47:05 already talked about this, the, mechanisms and those are very, very

47:09 . So, males produce for which we were just gonna call

47:14 Uh Females produce that secondary o site we're just gonna call eggs just to

47:18 our lives easy sometimes. All But it's the, the same

47:23 we're gonna use the similar hormones. gonna be some unique ones in females

47:26 are responsible for pregnancy and stuff. for the most part, the same

47:31 are present and then to bring those together, this is just the process

47:36 copulation. So you need a male a female. They copulate, you

47:40 use another term coitus if you're like , thank you. Right? Or

47:45 intercourse if you want to be prim proper. In fact, the reason

47:49 , you know, I've mentioned the gender, the reason gender became so

47:53 is because in polite company, when say sex, it means something.

47:57 you know what sex are you? , no. Right. So that's

48:01 they started using gender because it sounded polite. It didn't refer to the

48:05 of and that's why it got all . All right. So this is

48:13 perennial. This is external structures. what I want to show here is

48:17 these structures are exist both in males females. All right, we have

48:22 different genitalia, but there are some in general of the perennial. That's

48:27 area between the pubs and the So you can see here we have

48:30 diamond structure. There's the pubic pubic bone down there is the

48:34 There's a toxic on either side, isl tuberosity. So you can see

48:38 there's this diamond and if you draw lines through them, you create two

48:42 . One triangle is referred to as euro genital triangle. The other triangle

48:45 the anal triangle. The anal triangle pretty simple. This is where the

48:49 is found. And you can see we have muscle there. That's the

48:52 anal sphincter. We've talked about that we went through the digestive system shared

48:57 , right? When you go and at the genital triangle, you can

49:00 structurally there's external genitalia is very, different, but the muscles are

49:07 very the same. All right. the genitalia are different because of the

49:12 differences that take place. But in of the muscles, all right.

49:17 let me just say, so you the urethra and the vaginal opening in

49:19 female here, you can see the , uh the penis is being is

49:23 and away but it's basically in the area. All right, it sits

49:27 that pubic bone is. But what idea here is, look at the

49:30 , right. So there's three muscles should be aware of, they're all

49:33 . So this muscle right here All right, that's called the superior

49:38 muscle. You might see it sometimes as the superficial transverse muscle. It's

49:45 term and sometimes you might even see thrown in there as well,

49:49 But transverse means it just crosses and the closest one to you. So

49:54 or superior. All right, then the edges, that's the isco

50:01 So that basically makes the wall of triangle and then along the center,

50:07 the bulb spons. And we start at the structure of the penis,

50:11 going to make, oh OK. understand why it's called that because that's

50:14 bulb of the penis, right? females have the same muscle. All

50:19 . It just lines within the And so you can see it being

50:23 right there. So all muscles are the same within the premium. But

50:31 we want to focus on, as said, today's talk is about the

50:34 reproductive system. And so while there shared structures, there are unique

50:39 And so that's what I want to through. And I said a couple

50:42 minutes ago against your wishes is that are simple. So men are simple

50:51 we have two functions. When it to reproduction, we make sperm and

50:57 deliver sperm. That is our Make sperm delivers sperm. So when

51:01 look at the reproductive systems, if think in terms of, I got

51:04 make sperm and I got to deliver , then each of these structures has

51:08 play a role in that process. . So in terms of those

51:14 we're gonna work our wake. I you at the very beginning that the

51:17 of this unit from, from uh digestive system, onward, tube

51:21 we're going to start with tubes that found in the gonads. These are

51:24 testes. And so we go from testes to the epitome. There are

51:28 that are formed from the epis and . All right. So we're going

51:32 follow the ducts outward. Uh Then going to deal with the penis as

51:36 copulative organ and then we're going to with also the sex glands that allow

51:40 to make the material through which the are going to be delivered.

51:45 these are the structures of importance. are three different sex claims that we're

51:48 talk about and everyone already knows one them because you hear about it all

51:52 time. Prostate, right? So , you've heard of the prostate.

51:59 now we dive into the anatomy and a little complex, right? So

52:06 we have the testis. This is paired structure. We have two of

52:09 , just like the ovary is going be a paired structure. There are

52:11 of them, it's covered by a of tunics. The first tunic is

52:15 the tunica vaginal. That's the outer . It's a serious membrane.

52:19 it produces fluid and it protects the testis from friction and strut

52:25 and damage. All right. And underlying that is the second structure which

52:29 called the tunica Albia. So, the air you can see here is

52:33 tunica vaginal tunica vaginal and then all white stuff that penetrates into the testes

52:39 . That's tunica albinia. And the albinia is what separates the testes into

52:46 lobes and within each of the That's where our first tube is

52:51 This is the semi seminiferous epithelium, one that we said spermatogenesis taking

52:57 it's the sperm factory. And so have many, many, many semi

53:04 , uh sorry, seminiferous tubules within is the epithelium. All right.

53:10 this is what accounts for the mass the testis. So when little boys

53:15 producing sperm, they have very, small testes. All right, they

53:19 puberty. The first thing that grows the testis because you just put,

53:23 it up with a whole bunch of and spermatocyte. It makes up roughly

53:29 of the mass of the testis. right. And the semini first tubule

53:33 going to go to the next tube we'll get to in a second which

53:36 the red testis, which then goes to the epi All right. And

53:39 what this is kind of showing This is only showing you like five

53:42 . Just imagine a couple 100,000 of . All right. And they're converging

53:46 forming another tubular structure called the red . This is a cross section through

53:51 and it's color coded. I don't why they chose Mardi Gras colors,

53:54 they did. OK. So what can see here, the yellow is

53:59 you these mature cells, the purple the immature cells. So those would

54:03 the chromatic sites and the schroon and the green in there is the cell

54:07 makes up the wall of the And this cell is called a certo

54:11 named after the guy that discovered All right. And it's really,

54:15 hard to see in this cartoon Certo because you know, I mean,

54:19 can see the green there but over here, it's like I can't see

54:22 certo cell, I can see all germ cells, but I can't really

54:26 the line that separates these two But if you look at the seminiferous

54:32 , you'll see on the outside, have a layer of smooth muscle.

54:35 are myoid cells and they're just in contraction relaxation mode and they're basically squeezing

54:41 tube to propel the fluid that's in tube containing the mature sperm through the

54:48 . And then you can see I these walls of certo cells in between

54:53 certo cells is where all the germ are. This picture demonstrates a little

54:59 more clearly because they've color coded it it's cartoony. You can see

55:03 this is what a certo cell would . And in between the certo

55:07 you have the germ cells. But there's so many of them, it's

55:11 , really hard to see the certo . But I just want you to

55:15 when I think of the seminiferous the epithelium that lines that tubule are

55:20 certo cells and they're really kind of cells. All right, they create

55:26 blood test as barrier. What that is is that the germ cells are

55:31 from the rest of the body. they are immune privileged means materials aren't

55:39 to get near them. Anything that near those cells has to pass through

55:42 certo cell first. So the sali then must be responsible for delivering any

55:48 that it wants. So nutrients are via the capillary. But cli cells

55:53 that up and says I'm gonna give to you. Now, some of

55:56 cells are going to die just like saw trees in the ovary. We

56:01 really talked about that yet. But you had all those o sides dying

56:05 die all the time too, And the reason they die is for

56:10 reason, they fail to go through process, but you don't want the

56:12 cell sitting around. So the sali will engulf and destroy and act like

56:18 macrophage and remove the broken material. produces this fluid, the semi or

56:25 seminal fluid and part of the production that seminal fluid is that it contains

56:30 protein called A B P androgen binding . And so, one of the

56:35 that certo cells do is they sequester hold testosterone in the testes because it's

56:42 for stuff instead of being out and and it controls ultimately, the rate

56:49 which hermano genesis takes place. So we look at that scale that said

56:53 took 75 days, it's because this sitting there monitoring going OK. Have

56:58 met the requirements to move on to next step? You have OK,

57:02 on to the next step. And what happens is, is those cells

57:05 through these little tiny barriers, this junction and then they progress and move

57:10 towards the lumen. And once they've that point of maturation off, they

57:16 . Now between each of these seminiferous is some space called the interstitium.

57:25 just means the stuff in between. the interstitium has, has a specific

57:29 that you should know about. It's the late cell named after the guy

57:32 discovered it. The latex cell's job to take cholesterol and converted it into

57:41 in response to a hormone called luteinizing . LH. And we're going to

57:46 through that whole process of how it it a little bit later. You'll

57:50 see capillaries and stuff. So this is showing you. So here

57:53 can see here's the semi epithelium or tubule tubule. So this little space

57:58 here that is the interstitium in the out here. That's interstitium. You

58:03 see capillaries over there, there's a . So lots of blood going in

58:10 , you got cells that are making and this seminiferous epithelium is producing the

58:18 that are going into that tubule and traveling along and moving on to the

58:22 testis. So each testes has its duct that are going to converge and

58:30 they converge into their own large duct then that duct continues on for each

58:36 of them. And then those two converge at the prostate and then from

58:41 prostate, it's going to allow materials move out through a single duct.

58:45 when you think about the ducks, are their job? If the gonad

58:48 to make the sperm and the job the male is to make and deliver

58:52 sperm, what do you think the are responsible for delivering the sperm?

58:56 we have to have a place for to be stored. So we're gonna

58:59 this also, we're gonna play a in the maturation because the test is

59:03 went through spermiogenesis and made that's from and then it's gonna be a place

59:09 we're gonna keep it until a copulation ejaculation. And then ultimately, that's

59:14 you move it out of the So the next duct, so here

59:22 have the semi semi thelium. The duct is the red testis, sometimes

59:27 to as the media stum. And you're doing is you're taking all these

59:30 of thousands of tubes and they're converging it into this network or mesh of

59:35 , the R testis which then pass the tubes into the next structure.

59:41 next structure being the epitome. So tubes that go from the red testis

59:45 the epito, they're called the ductus or the Ephron duck jules. All

59:54 , I'm leaving, I'm going away I'm going into a new structure,

60:01 ? So this is just a function getting all the different roads going into

60:06 place where you can think about this up here. 45 2,

60:11 not, not, not, not right there. Uh But you

60:14 right up the street, we have 2, 88 59 all converge at

60:18 same point into this nasty little cluster road, right? That's kind of

60:25 going on here is all these things converging to a single point. That's

60:30 the red testis does. And what trying to do is we're trying to

60:33 a single road on the other So from the red testis to the

60:37 duct, jules in the ephron duct , that's where we're going to form

60:40 duct to ultimately open up into the . Now, every textbook I've ever

60:46 other than the one we're using right fails to describe the importance of the

60:51 . See when sperm are made in testis, they're incapable of fertilization.

60:56 can literally take an O site and a sperm from the testis. Put

61:01 right on top of the O site it just sits there. It doesn't

61:05 anything. It can't recognize the it can't swim, it can't do

61:12 . So the function of the epito to make it so that, that

61:18 can do what it's designed to It's its maturation point. All

61:23 So, while we were able to that tid, there's still more modifications

61:28 need to take place. Now, you look at an, it's this

61:32 structure, if you're actually to stretch this little tiny tube that's just

61:35 wrapped really tight. And it's you know, if you look

61:38 it's probably about this big in But if you were to stretch out

61:42 tube, it'd be somewhere between everyone's little bit different, anywhere between six

61:46 20 ft long. All right. it's a really, really tiny tube

61:50 really compressed down into this little tiny . All right. So there's three

61:55 regions. You have the head, body the tail. Um I,

61:59 I did research on it, I the, the original terms caput corpus

62:03 , but it's the same thing and region is unique and each one is

62:08 for different things. And we're not to talk about what each one is

62:11 for. We're just going to do generic responsible. OK. So the

62:14 thing is that you need to finish off, you have to be able

62:18 make that sperm be able to penetrate the protective barrier of the o

62:23 All right. So that's the first is modify the surface of the cell

62:27 that it can one recognize the oci two penetrate through that barrier. Because

62:33 you can't do that, you're not be able to reproduce. And that's

62:35 end of the species. That's kind important, don't you think?

62:39 OK. Number two, we're told can't swim. So as it moves

62:46 , it's taught how to swim. , don't ask me how I

62:48 it's not like, OK, you're gonna swim forward. But

62:52 if you take sperm from different parts the epi, sperm will spin in

62:56 direction, sperm will spin in that , sperm will spin there go

63:01 It's the weirdest thing ever. There's studies that have been done on

63:04 So it learns how to swim in epitome. All right, kind of

63:09 . And the last thing is you to have a place to store

63:11 And so down here at the coddle . So basically at the tail,

63:17 is where you store up sperm. so sperm basically, it's in this

63:20 and is able to move around and has elbow room if sperm had elbows

63:25 what it does is you take away fluid and it concentrates the sperm down

63:29 that they're all tight and can't move stuff and then they basically hang out

63:35 this coddle region and they're stored there they remain there until they're needed.

63:42 , some of them are going to and so the eps can destroy and

63:46 stuff. But for the most this is where, where things hang

63:50 until it's used. So that's what E is for the maturation of storage

63:57 then copulation, we're gonna just say occurs. All right. And it's

64:02 for ejaculation, ejaculation. You need move that sperm from storage and you

64:06 to move it outward. So the structure is the ductus deference. So

64:11 have the ductus Ephron at the front , at the back end, you

64:14 the ductus deference, you might notice vast deference. And so the vast

64:18 is the tube that takes the sperm storage and moves it to that,

64:23 point where it can be mixed with is called the seminal plasma. And

64:29 you're going to move it and then that si plasma plus the sperm,

64:33 basically allows you to have a liquidity again. And that's going to be

64:38 the ejaculate, which is going to released during copulation. All right.

64:43 that's the role of the ducts, friends. And so if this is

64:46 tube to move from one place to other and you want to get things

64:49 quickly, you need to have a of muscle. And so the ductus

64:52 has a whole bunch of different layers muscles. All right, it has

64:58 longitudinal layer, one concentric layer. so that moves the sperm very,

65:01 quickly from one point to the And you can see it's actually fairly

65:05 . So if this is the bottom the epitome, it comes up and

65:08 the bladder and then joins up to next duct, which is called the

65:12 duct. Now, this thing doesn't it a lot of justice. It's

65:15 like this. It is very, short, but it's a convergence of

65:19 ducts in the same location as what ejaculatory duct is. And so this

65:25 you to mix the sperm with the of the seminal vesicles and the secretions

65:33 the prostate. Ultimately, when you to the prostatic regions of the

65:40 So you see we went from lots tubes down to one tube on each

65:44 and then each of the one side bringing a tube and we're conjoin it

65:49 a single tube and that's the Now, we learned about the urethra

65:55 the renal system, we said the is responsible for the pathway between the

65:59 and the bathroom. And that's absolutely true. But in males, it

66:03 serves as the duct through which the plasma and the sperm which we call

66:09 are ejaculated during copulation. So, are three parts to the urethra that

66:16 need to be familiar with in the . All right. So wrapped around

66:19 urethra and nearest the bladder is where prostate is located. This structure when

66:25 passes through the urethra passes through is the prostatic urethra. We're going to

66:30 more clearly what it looks like when look at the prostate. All

66:35 it has a whole bunch of little holes in it so that these are

66:39 ducts that allow for the secretions of prostate to enter into the urethra.

66:44 then we have this really short region the urethra, which is called the

66:48 region. And this is basically the muscle that serves as the floor of

66:53 abdomen into the pelvis. And so you're doing is basically, that's,

66:58 the that structure through which you're So membranous, it has skeletal muscle

67:03 it. This is where the external sphincter is. So when you're holding

67:07 in and you need to go, , not ladies here. I

67:12 it's true for ladies too, but , what you're doing is you're releasing

67:16 . So notice it's on the other of the um um prostate and then

67:23 spongy urethra. All right. And the spongy urethra is the pathway through

67:31 structures of the penis. All This, this this erectile tissue.

67:37 right. Now, as you move the type of epithelium changes. So

67:43 prosthetic tta has transitional epithelium similar to you saw in the bladder membranous,

67:49 is just going to be that pseudostratified stratified columnar. And then as you

67:54 down where you go from the pseudostratified then ultimately get down to the stratified

67:59 . So the closer you are to outside, the more it looks like

68:03 as you move in, the more looks like elongate epithelium. And then

68:08 get to that weird transitional stuff right? So squamous sort of

68:15 transitional, the opening at the end the penis is called the external urethral

68:26 . All right. And that's through the ejaculate is released. The three

68:35 glands pretty straightforward. We have, have the seminal vesicle. I'm gonna

68:41 you what's in them. I'm gonna you what they do when we talk

68:45 copulation. OK? Because each of things are kind of fun and unique

68:51 they're there for a reason. I'm sorry. All right. It's

69:03 the next one right after class, will, I will move them

69:07 I thought I'd moved them, but suck. So, yeah.

69:12 apparently the last time I taught the I apparently rambled on too much.

69:16 so I didn't get to them. so I had them over into the

69:18 one. I will get them There's five slides. Right.

69:23 if you have to scribble, I'm , we'll get through them. They're

69:27 hard. All right. I apologize this side too. OK. All

69:35 . Seminal vesicle. It looks like rabbit ears. Do you see little

69:38 ears at the top? If you're it out there, it is.

69:41 this is your rabbit there, boom, boom. Actually, this

69:43 kind of looks like a jackal, those are your rabbit ears, Semino

69:47 . All right. These are located here to the bladder. And what

69:51 do is they are merging with the defer. All right. So there's

69:56 region of the vast defer that expands that's called the Aula. Um And

70:00 can see here how this kind of outward right there. That's the

70:05 And then right there is the seminal and they converge. And so the

70:10 vesel is responsible for secreting a portion the seminal plasma, right? The

70:15 similar plasma don't let that be All it is is basically saying the

70:19 that make up semen, right? so a portion of the fluid that

70:22 up semen comes from this structure about half of it. And so

70:27 you have this concentrated seam or sperm then you're joining up with fluids.

70:31 you're giving it elbow room again, you're not just doing that. There's

70:35 whole bunch of stuff that's actually localized this as well. Now again,

70:39 told you, we're gonna come back each of these individual things and why

70:43 important. But I just kind of to give you the big picture first

70:46 . It's viscous and alkaline in All right. So it's alkaline,

70:51 , not acidic, it's the opposite . Very, very basic.

70:58 Here we're going to be secreting a of fructose. And the reason we

71:02 a lot of fructose in the seminal is because sperm use fructose as an

71:08 source. Ok. Third, we this chemical prostaglandins. Have you ever

71:15 of the prostaglandins? Yeah, they a roll and smooth muscle contraction.

71:20 do you think they're called prostaglandins? . Yeah, I couldn't hear you

71:28 they thought it came out of the gland. So I was like,

71:32 , prostate glands. No, it came from this structure. So thank

71:36 they didn't call it vesicular gland or , whatever, but that's where it

71:41 from. All right. Thirdly, there's other, some substances in it

71:45 are gonna play a role in motility aid in the process called capacitation.

71:51 right. Second structure is the prostate . All right. It's fairly

71:55 It's like the size of a So, if you don't know,

71:58 , I promise that it will get to you here right after class,

72:01 can take your picture. That's But all right. So, prostate

72:06 inferior to the bladder. So there's bladder, there's a prostate gland.

72:09 has all these openings, these duct that open up into the prostatic

72:16 So it's not a single duct, basically a bunch of different little tiny

72:19 jules that open up and again, producing a portion of the similar plasma

72:24 the prostate. All right. And there's a whole bunch. Some of

72:28 you may be familiar with. Probably heard of P S A

72:32 Uh This is what you get. I'm talking to the gentleman. Uh

72:34 is what they'll test to see if have prostate cancer because right now you

72:38 very little in circulation. But if get prostate cancer, it's one of

72:42 things that rises. So it's an early detection. Um It's slightly acidic

72:47 nature and that's because there's citric acid it, uh has an antibiotic in

72:51 called seminoma. Um It uh uh P A is a liquefaction has another

72:58 called P A which is a noise zinc. Zinc is a, is

73:04 mineral that plays an important role in sperm generally from oxygen radicals. So

73:11 idea is oxygen radicals, they come , they find DNA and they cause

73:16 to explode. So um you don't that to happen with your sperm.

73:22 one is a bubble urethral gland and are little tiny ones you can see

73:26 , here's the prostate. They sit there in the membranous region of the

73:30 . There's, it's a paired structure named after the guy found it's called

73:36 . But we use buble urethral. they make up a very, very

73:40 portion of seminal plasma and here what does is just prior to copulation,

73:45 begin contracting and they release this mucus fluid that basically coats the urethra just

73:51 to ejaculation. And what it does it, it's very, very um

73:57 . So it neutralizes the acidic urethra basically, uh because mucus in

74:02 it kind of makes it slimy or slippery. And so it basically lubricates

74:07 urethra just prior to ejaculation. So bit, we're gonna deal here is

74:19 copulation or the copulative organ, not the act of copulation. All

74:24 So, structurally, penis is a organ. All right. Uh We

74:30 the sides of the penis. So would be the dorsal side. This

74:34 be the ventral side and it's, in reference to an erect penis and

74:39 lying on your back on the So dorsal matches dorsal, on this

74:45 . This is ventral. Ok. that's why if the penis was erected

74:49 you're lying backwards, that's where the come from. Now, internally,

74:53 , we're gonna have two pictures Sorry. There it is. So

74:57 going to go kind of back and or you could use either picture to

75:00 of look. But we have what called is the bulb. The bulb

75:03 the very tip back here at the end of the penis, right?

75:07 continues with the structure called the corpus , which we'll see in the next

75:12 . Uh We have two structures which called the, the crust. All

75:17 , not crew. I've tried forever pronounce it correctly and I always get

75:20 wrong, but it's the crust and the extension of the uh Corpora two

75:26 two cavernosum. So there's two of , one on each side and you

75:32 see them in this picture here. would be the kra singular cress,

75:37 the bulb. OK. So the extends internally for some distance,

75:48 externally structures the penis that, that see externally is referred to as the

75:54 . The tip of the penis is to as the glands. This is

75:57 the external urethral orifice is located. can see that we structurally, we

76:02 this raised edge or ridge. This referred to as the corona. Whenever

76:07 look at any structure, uh know there's a purpose to it. All

76:12 . So it's in shape like it , it looks like it is not

76:16 it's funky and women dig it or , right? Because I remember I

76:19 sexual selection, it's there because it sexual reproductive success. All right.

76:28 so that, that corona serves kind as a gasket. All right.

76:33 know, the gasket is basically a that divides two halves on either side

76:39 that structure. So like when you're of a piston in a car,

76:43 has a gasket so that when the goes up, the gasses that you

76:49 in your engine don't escape around So you get a good explosion so

76:53 it can drive that piston downward. would be in a car during

76:58 What we're doing here is we're creating compression and rare faction so that we

77:03 keep sperm on one side after ejaculation place. All right. Uh The

77:11 is uh very often. Uh I , you're normally born with uh

77:16 which is called a pre, all . Um Part of the thing we

77:21 here in the States is we basically that off, cut for skin off

77:25 circumcision. So not everyone has but that's you're born with a pre

77:32 in terms of the internal structures, mentioned the corporate cavernosum. Here's a

77:36 through the center you can see. there's the paired and then we have

77:39 corporate spongiosum. These are erectile tissues what they are, they're vascular

77:45 So this is a connective tissue structure the vasculature opens into. And so

77:50 sexual arousal, blood flows into those because the arteries vasodilate the veins constrict

77:57 it causes blood to get trapped into structures, causing the penis to become

78:02 to become erect. We need this down here. The spongiosum. I

78:08 , you'd think all I need are two big ones. The cavernosa.

78:12 , those are fine. That's enough get an erection and hold it.

78:15 you don't want the urethra to collapse that's how sperm is passing out.

78:20 the corporate cav uh the spongiosum becomes to keep the urethra open so that

78:28 can occur. All right. So two superior ones are the cavernosa.

78:33 inferior one is the spongiosum. I two more minutes and we're just gonna

78:39 with. The last little bit is scrotum. All right. Not all

78:46 have scrotum like 40% don't, but remaining do. And the reason for

78:52 is sperm develop at a bed, a uh lower temperature than what the

78:58 is. All right, you like meme, I can see the

79:04 All right. So what the purpose the scrotum is, is to raise

79:08 lower the, the testes to the so that you can maintain the proper

79:15 for sperm development. Now, there's lot of structure here that we need

79:19 deal with. I mean, there's , um but just underlying the skin

79:24 a layer of muscle called the Dartos . And this is a smooth

79:28 And so when the body or when testes become hot. What they do

79:33 the dar tose relax and allows the to relax as well. And so

79:38 testes are moved away from the body that they can cool down. And

79:43 when it gets cold, the dar contracts and it brings the testes close

79:48 the body to keep the testes All right. So that's, its

79:54 function is to maintain the proper balance temperature. Now, dividing the two

79:59 , there's a raf. So the testes are in their own compartment and

80:04 each served by a spermatic cord. the spermatic cord simply is a bunch

80:10 blood vessels, a bunch of connective tissue, some muscle as well

80:14 some of the ducts and they're all in there. Now, the things

80:18 I want you to know about the cord is another muscle. Some textbooks

80:23 about it being involved in temperature It is not, this is the

80:27 master and this is skeletal muscle. do you know about skeletal muscle?

80:32 can control it, right? Smooth . Can you control it?

80:37 that's why Castanza there was going I in the pool, I was in

80:40 pool, right? So the cremaster there to raise and lower based on

80:48 . So you can imagine, for , um you know, men

80:54 do you mean fight? They don't much? But yeah, and so

80:59 of the things you want to protect is the structure through which your reproductive

81:05 is dependent. And so you can pull the testes closer to the body

81:09 a short period of time for the of protection. And just to reiterate

81:13 point, I know it's over Once they become sexually active, alpha

81:18 will chew off the scrotum and eat testes of the beta males. So

81:25 won't have any sexual competition. could you see why it would be

81:29 ? Not that humans do this? do you see why it might be

81:33 to be able to move your testes and forth? Yeah. So that's

81:37 purpose of the Cream master? All . I kept you a minute longer

81:42 I should have. We covered a . I will get these slides up

81:45 I start talking to students. And I think I owe you an
