What to Focus On
- Testes are located in the scrotum at 2–2.5°C below body temperature to facilitate spermatogenesis.
- Each testis has ~250 testicular lobules, each containing 1–3 seminiferous tubules.
- Spermatogonia undergo meiosis to form sperms; Sertoli cells nourish developing germ cells.
- Ovaries are the primary female sex organs producing ova and ovarian hormones (estrogens and progesterone).
- Fallopian tube regions: Infundibulum (with fimbriae) → Ampulla (site of fertilisation) → Isthmus (joins uterus).
- Fimbriae collect the ovum released during ovulation.
- Spermatogenesis: Spermatogonia (mitosis) → Primary Spermatocytes (meiosis I) → Secondary Spermatocytes (meiosis II) → Spermatids (spermiogenesis) → Spermatozoa.
- Spermiogenesis = transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa; Spermiation = release of sperms from Sertoli cells.
- LH stimulates Leydig cells to produce androgens; FSH acts on Sertoli cells to support spermiogenesis.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Spermatogenesis produces 4 functional sperms from one primary spermatocyte, just like oogenesis produces 4 cells too
The sex of the baby is determined by the mother because it is the mother's body that carries the baby
Ovulation releases a mature ovum (secondary oocyte has already completed meiosis II)
Memory Tips
Male Reproductive System — components and order
Scrotum keeps testes 2–2.5°C cooler than body for spermatogenesis
Sertoli cells provide nutrition; Leydig cells secrete androgens
Sperm structure: head, neck, middle piece, tail
