Male Reproduction: Testes, epididymis, ductus deferens
testes
within a scrotum, contains smooth muscle (arrows) 
tunica albuginea
-
seminiferous tubules
peritubular cells (outside of the seminiferous tubules)
2-3 layers of contractile cells and collagen fibers outside of the basal lamina of the seminiferous tubule
spermatogenic cells
spermatids
haploid, near lumen; undergo spermiogensis to form spermatozoa
-
spermatocytes
primary, diploid, undergo first meiosis to secondary spermatocyte; second meiosis to form spermatids
interstitial cells (outside of the seminiferous tubules)
-
Sertoli cells
physical support of sperm cells; nourishment, participate in “blood-testis” barrier; secrete Androgen binding hormone (binds testosterone in tubule); secrete inhibin (pituitary feedback on FSH)
epididymis
-
ductus deferens
