GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Scrotum-this is a loose bag of skin that hangs outside the body, behind the penis. It holds the testes in place. Testes (or testicles)-these are a pair of egg-shaped glands that sit in the scrotum, on the outside of the body. They produce sperm and testosterone, which is the male sex hormone.

Detailed explanation-2: -The scrotum is a male reproductive structure located under the penis. It has the shape of a sac and divides into two compartments. The structures contained in this sac include external spermatic fascia, testes, epididymis, and spermatic cord.

Detailed explanation-3: -The epididymis is a narrow, tightly-coiled tube connecting rear of the testicles to the deferent duct (ductus deferens or vas deferens). The epididymis consists of three parts: head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis is located on superior pole of testis. It stores sperm for maturation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seminal vesicles: The seminal vesicles are sac-like pouches that attach to the vas deferens near the base of the bladder. The seminal vesicles make a sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm with a source of energy and helps with the sperms’ ability to move (motility).

Detailed explanation-5: -The scrotum contains the testicles and related structures that produce, store and transport sperm and male sex hormones.
