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 agoThe cervix acts as the door to the uterus which sperm can travel through to fertilize eggs. When your body is not carrying a child, your cervix helps keep unhealthy…-
The cervix lies at the base of the uterus and serves to protect it from bacterial infiltration. It is the site of an important epithelial transition. The upper cervix…

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoThe female reproductive system includes the ovaries. Each woman has two ovaries, one on each side, responsible for producing egg cells known as ova or oocytes. The oocytes are transferred to the fallopian tube, where fertilization takes place. It then transforms into a fertilized egg, which moves along the uterus while the uterine lining thickens…-
The outer surface of each of the ovaries is covered by a capsule. This surface is covered by a simple cuboidal epithelium called the germinal epithelium. A layer of…
-
The epithelial cells and formed follicles surround the oocytes. Many primordial follicles can be identified in the ovary, especially on the edges of the cortex. In addition, there are lesser follicles in the different phases of development.

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoThe seminiferous tubules are bordered by a complex stratified epithelium composed of two unique populations of cells: spermatogenic cells that grow into spermatozoa and Sertoli cells that provide a supporting and nutritive function.-
Spermatocytes are the cells that develop from the final spermatogonial division (B spermatogonia), from which spermatids, then spermatozoa with half the chromosomal complement of the original progenitor cell, are produced after the meiotic phase of spermatogenesis.
-
The spermatid is a haploid male gametid produced by secondary spermatocyte division. Because of meiosis, each spermatid only has half of the genetic material found in…

Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months agoThe prostate gland is a six-sided assemblage of glandular and fibromuscular tissue in the pelvic cavity. A healthy prostate gland measures 4 x 3 x 2 cm and weighs about 20 grams.-
The fibromuscular stroma, which contains clusters of smooth muscles interspersed with elastic fibers, is the defining histological feature of the prostate. Prostatic glands, which produce around 27 percent of seminal fluid, are surrounded by this mixture of tissue.
-
These glands release a watery mixture of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostatic acid phosphatase, fibrinolysin, and amylase into the prostatic sinuses under the direction of 5–dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (grooves lateral to the luminal aspect of the verumontanum).
-
Prostatic glands come in a variety of sizes and contain connective tissue folds lining their lumens. The acini appear exceedingly uneven due to the connective tissue…
