Section 1 Reproductive and Hormonal Functions of the Male
Functions of testes spermatogenesis seminiferous tubules secrete hormones testosterone- by the instestitial cels of leydig inhibin by sertoil cells
Functions of testes • spermatogenesis – seminiferous tubules • secrete hormones – testosterone - by the instestitial cels of Leydig, – inhibin - by Sertoil cells
Endocrine function of testes Androgens: testosterone, dihydrotesterone(双氢睾酮) and androstendione(雄烯二酮) Function of testosterone Maintenance of spermatogenesis Stimulation of development of genitalia Development and maintenance of the male secondary sexual characteristics Maintenance of libido Effect on metabolism increases anabolism of protein causes growth of the bones deposition of calcium salts enhancement of production of red cells
I. Endocrine Function of Testes • Androgens: testosterone, dihydrotesterone (双氢睾酮） and androstenodione （雄烯二酮） • Function of testosterone – Maintenance of spermatogenesis – Stimulation of development of genitalia. – Development and maintenance of the male secondary sexual characteristics. – Maintenance of libido. – Effect on metabolism. • increases anabolism of protein, • causes growth of the bones • deposition of calcium salts • enhancement of production of red cells
Endocrine Function of Testes(cont nhibin a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 31.000-32.000 Secreted byby sertoil cells in testis potent inhibitory effect on FSH secretion by pituitary gland slightly inhibitory in GnRH secretion
Endocrine Function of Testes (cont.) • Inhibin – a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 31,000-32,000 – Secreted by by Sertoil cells in testis – potent inhibitory effect on FSH secretion by pituitary gland. – slightly inhibitory in GnRH secretion
