PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The testes are responsible for making testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, and for producing sperm. Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are responsible for producing the sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The testis is made up of tightly packed seminiferous tubules surrounded by a vascularized interstitium. It is enclosed in a tough fibrous capsule called the tunica albuginea (Figure 2). Within the seminiferous tubules, germ cells develop into spermatozoa in a process called spermatogenesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are typically 2 inches (5 centimeters) long, 1.2 inches (3 cm) wide and 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. The scrotum is a loose sack of skin that protects the testicles and acts as a climate control system. The testes must be at a temperature slightly cooler than the body temperature for normal sperm development.

Detailed explanation-4: -The testes have two functions – to produce sperm and to produce hormones, particularly testosterone. Sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
