The reproductive system ensures the survival of the species. Other systems in the body, such as the endocrine and urinary systems, work continuously to maintain homeostasis for the survival of the individual. An individual may live a long, healthy, and happy life without producing offspring, but if the species is to continue, at least some individuals must produce offspring.

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoEach breast has 15-25 secretory lobes in the adipose tissue. The mammary gland resembles a sweat gland with a few modifications. A compound tubular acinar gland resides in each of these lobes. The acini discharge into ducts lined by cuboidal or low columnar epithelial cells and encircled by myoepithelial cells. Each lobule’s duct empties into a…[Read more]

The ovaries produce female gametes (oocytes) and steroid hormones (estrogen and progesterone).

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoHi everyone this is a picture of ovarian tissue under a microscope.Oogenesis takes place in the ovary, which is induced by gonadotrophin from the anterior pituitary. The ovaries also serve as an endocrine organ, releasing estrogen and progesterone. The rest of the female reproductive system is made up of fallopian tubes, which transport the ova…

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoHi everyone! The picture I\’m posting shows us ovarian tissue under the microscope.-
Ovaries are the primary female reproductive organs. Each ovary is 3.5 cm long, 2 cm wide, and 1 cm thick, like an almond. On each side of the uterus, on the lateral walls of the pelvic cavity, are small depressions called ovarian fossae. Peritoneal ligaments hold them loosely.
-
Germinal (ovarian) epithelium covers the ovaries. Visceral peritoneum wraps the ovaries. The tunica albuginea lies beneath this layer.

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoHello everybody! The picture below shows a whole testis that is cut in the approximate midline. It shows more details on its peripheral regions since it is subjected at a higher magnification.-
In the picture we can fully see the epididymis, spermatic cord, tunica albuginea and the seminiferous tubules.

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoIn this electron micrograph, showing a seminiferous tubule and adjacent interstitial tissue.-
In the seminiferous tubule, the large, round nuclei belong to more mature primary spermatocytes. Toward the lumen from these are the nuclei of spermatids.
-
Note the occasional Sertoli cell nuclei and try to follow the extensive Sertoli cell cytoplasm as it passes up to enfold the spermatocytes and spermatids. In the interstitial tissue, observe the Leydig cells and capillaries (the latter are somewhat swollen because the testis was fixed for electron

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoWhat is your corpus luteum? Your corpus luteum is a completely normal cyst that forms on the ovary every single month in women of childbearing age. This cyst is actually a group of cells inside your ovaries that forms during each menstrual cycle. The corpus luteum is actually a temporary gland structure. It secretes the hormones estrogen and… -

The testes are ovoid organs that produce sperm (spermatogenesis).
-
Tunica Albuginea is a thick connective tissue capsule. Lobules are pyramid-shaped lobules that are separated by connective tissue septae that extend inward from the capsule.
-
Each seminiferous tubule contains 1 to 4 highly coiled seminiferous tubules lined by sperm-producing germinal epithelium.
-
Sertoli Cells are large, columnar cells that extend throughout the germinal epithelium.

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoThe vas deferens is also known as a sperm duct or ductus deferens. The ejaculatory duct is a lengthy muscular tube that goes from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity behind the bladder and links to the urethra.-
Sperm cells are produced in the testes. The sperm then travels to the epididymis, a structure that sits at the top of the testicle. The epididymis is responsible for…

The scrotum, or sac holding your testicles, is where the vas deferens originates. The vas deferens next passes into your body from the testicle. It extends until it…
