      Question 5.
      \nDescribe the structure of a seminiferous tubule.
      \nAnswer:
      \nTestis has about 250 compartments (Testicular lobules) which contains 1-3 highly coiled seminiferous tubules. Each tubule is lined by 2 types of cells. Male germ cells (immature) (spermatogonic) and Sertoli cells.
      \n\"2nd
      \nMale germ cells form sperms by meiosis and Sertoli cells provide nutrition to these germ cells. Male germ cells and Sertoli cells together form germinal epithelium. Seminiferous tubule is covered outside by basement membrane.<\/p>\n

      Question 6.
      \nWhat is spermatogenesis ? Describe the process of spermatogenesis.
      \nAnswer:
      \nSpermatogenesis is the production of sperms (n) by immature male germ cells (2n) at puberty inside the testis.<\/p>\n

      Hormonal role in spermatogenesis:
      \nSpermatogenesis starts due to increase in secretion of GnRH (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone) by hypothalamus. GnRH acts on Anterior pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of 2 gonadotropins – LH (Luteinizing Hormone) or ICSH (Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone).<\/p>\n

      LH acts on Leydig cells for secreting testosterone and other androgens inturn stimulates process of spermatogenesis. FSH acts on sertoli cells which secretes some factors useful in spermiogenesis. Sertoli cells secrete inhebin that suppresses FSH synthesis.
      \n\"2nd<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      It is production of haploid spermatozoa from diploid spermatogonia inside testis at puberty. At puberty, Spermatogonium undergoes mitosis forms 2 spermatogonia A and B. Both A and B are diploid with 46 chromosomes each.
      \nA: Function as mother spermatogonia.
      \nB : Grow in size to function as primary spermatocytes.
      \nThey then undergo meiosis to form 2 haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes (23 chromosomes). They then undergo 2nd meiotic division forming 4 haploid spermatids. These spermatids are transferred into spermatozoa (sperms) by spermiogenesis. After spermiogeneses, sperm heads become embedded into Sertoli cells and are released from seminiferous tubules by process called spermiation.<\/p>\n

      Question 7.
      \nName hormones involved in regulation of spermatogenesis.
      \nAnswer:
      \n[Explained in Answer to Question Number 67-Hormones are: GnRH, FSH, LH \/ ICSH, testosterone, Inhibin<\/p>\n

      Question 8.
      \nDefine spermiogenesis and spermiation.
      \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Spermiogenesis: Development and differentiation of a spermatozoa (n) from a spermatid (n).<\/li>\n
      • Spermiation: The detachment of fully mature spermatozoa from Sertoli cells is called spermiation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Question 11.
        \nWhat are the major functions of male accessory ducts and glands?
        \nAnswer:
        \nMale accessory ducts :
        \n(i) Intra testicular Genital Duct system (till vasa efferentia) – Cilia lining them fails in passage of sperms.
        \n(ii) Extra testicular \/ Excretory Genital Duct system:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Epididymis – Store sperms, ejects sperms during ejaculation, destroys older sperms.<\/li>\n
        • Vasa deferentia – conduction of sperms<\/li>\n
        • Ejaculatory ducts – conduct sperms and secretion of seminal vesicles are also conducted<\/li>\n
        • Urinogenital duct – conduct sperms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Male accessory glands:<\/p>\n

          • Prostate Gland – seminal plasma (20 – 30%)<\/li>\n
          • Bulbourethral gland – 5% seminal plasma<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Question 12.
            \nWhat is oogenesis ? Give a brief action of oogenesis.
            \nAnswer:
            \nProcess of formation, development and maturation of haploid ovum or female gamete from diploid germinal cell of the ovary.<\/p>\n

            Cells of the germinal epithelium of ovary undergoes repeated mitotic divisions to form diploid Oogonia or gamete mother cells. They are formed in the fetal ovary in large number by mitotic division form primary oocyte.
            \n\"2nd<\/p>\n

            The primary oocyte enlarges and matures by taking food from the surrounding follicle cells. The mature primary oocyte undergoes its first meiotic division. It is an unequal division resulting in the formation of a large haploid secondary oocyte and a tiny first polar body or polocyte. The secondary oocyte remains bulk of the nutrient ride cytoplasm of the primary oocyte. The secondary oocyte undergoes second meiotic division which doesn’t proceed beyond metaphase until a sperm enters it. Ovulation occurs at this stage and the secondary oocyte is transferred to the fallopian tube.<\/p>\n

                Question 20.
                \nIn our society women are blame for giving birth to daughters. Can you explain why this is not correct ?
                \nAnswer:
                \nSex chromosome pattern in female is xx, i.e., both the gametes are with ‘X’ chromosome. In males, sex chromosome is X Y i.e., one gamete with ‘X’ chromosome and other gamete with ‘Y’. So 50% sperms carry ‘X’ and 50% carry ‘Y’. Female child is produce when the sperm with ‘X’ chromosome fertilizes egg with ‘X’ chromosome. A male child is produce when sperm with ‘Y’ chromosome fertilizes egg with ‘X’ chromosome. Therefore sex of a baby depends on father not on mother.<\/p>\n

                        \nAnswer:
                        \nSpermatogenesis:
                        \nIt is the process of the formation of mature spermatozoa in the testis. It involves meiotic and mitotic division. It is controlled by hormones like leutenising hormone (LH) and androgen (testesterone).<\/p>\n

                        Spermiogenesis:
                        \nIt is the process of the transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa. It doesn’t involve any cell division. It is controlled by LH which stimulates the Sertoli cells to secrete the factors needed for spermiogenesis.<\/p>\n

                        Question 7.
                        \nMention the sites of action of the hormones – GnRH and FSH, during spermatogenesis in human males. Give one function of each of the hormones.
                        \nAnswer:
                        \nGnRH acts on anterior pituitary and FSH acts on Sertoli cells of seminiferous tubules.
                        \nGnRH stimulates the release of two gonadotropin – Follicle stimulating hormone and leutenising hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary. FSH stimulates the Sertoli cells to secrete some factors necessary for spermiogenesis.<\/p>\n

                        Question 8.
                        \nWhy does the coitus not leads to pregnancy all the time?
                        \nAnswer:
                        \nPregnancy occurs when the sperm and ovum reaches the ampullary isthmus junction of the fallopian tube at the same time. During every coitus both are not reaching at this position together.<\/p>\n

                          Question 1.
                          \nDescribe the accessary ducts of human male reproductive system.
                          \nAnswer:
                          \nThe accessory ducts include rete testis, vasaefferentia, epididymis and vas deferens.
                          \nThe seminiferous tubules end as short, straight tubules into rete testis. From the rete testis, 10-20 fine tubules called vasa efferentia leave the testis and open into epididymis. Epididymis is a single convoluted tubule that is located along the posterior surface of the testis.<\/p>\n

                          The epididymis leads into vas deferens that ascends into the abdomen and loops over the urinary bladder. It receives the ducts of seminal vesicle to form ejaculatory duct, that runs through the prostrate and opens into the urethra, just after its origin from the urinary bladder. The urethra receives the ducts of prostrate and bulbo urethral glands and runs through the penis to its external opening called urethral meatus.<\/p>\n

                                \nAnswer:
                                \nFertilization refers to the fusion of a sperm and ovum in humans occurs in the ampullary isthmic junction of the fallopian tube.When a sperm comes in contact with the zona pellucida of the ovum, it induces changes in the membrane that. blocks the entry of other sperms. The secretions of acrosome help the sperm to digest the zona pellucida and plasma membrane of the ovum and enter into its cytoplasm.<\/p>\n

                                The entry of sperm induces the completion of secondary meiotic division of the secondary oocyte resulting in the formation of a second polar body and a large ootid. The haploid nucleus of the ootid and that of the sperm fuse to form a diploid zygote.<\/p>\n

                                  \nWhat is Oogenesis ? Give a brief account of Oogenesis.
                                  \nAnswer:
                                  \nOogenesis is the process of formation of mature female gametes or ova. These cells start division and enter prophase I of meiosis and remain suspended at that stage; these are called primary oocyte.<\/p>\n

                                  Each primary oocyte is surrounded by a layer of granulosa cells and become the primary follicle. When the primary follicle becomes surrounded by more layers of granulosa cells, it is called secondary follicle.
                                  \nThe secondary follicle transforms into tertiary follicle. With the development of a fluid filled cavity (antrum) around the primary oocyte.<\/p>\n

                                  The granulosa cell become organised into an outer layer, called theca external and an internal interna. At this stage, the primary oocyte completes meiosis I and form a larger haploid secondary oocyte and a tiny polar body.<\/p>\n

                                  A tertiary follicle grow further and changes into mature follicle or agrarian follicle. The secondary oocyte secretes a new membrane called zona pellucida around it. At this stage the follicle ruptures to release the secondary oocyte, which moves into the fallopian tube. The secondary oocyte completes meiosis II only when a sperm enters its cytoplasm, it form a larger cell and Ootid and a smaller cell, the second polar body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
