LABORATORY EXERCISES FOR MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Slide #101 (1096). Testis, rat. sustentacular (“Sertoli”) cells pale nuclei of these cells are visible adjacent to the limiting membrane of the seminiferous tubules Nuclei of Sustentacular cells THE SERTOLI CELLS (SUSTENTACULAR CELLS) EXTEND THE FULL THICKNESS OF THE WALL OF THE SEMINIFEROUS TUBULE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE SERTOLI CELLS EXTEND FROM THE BASEMENT MEMBRANE TO THE LUMEN OF THE SEMINIFEROUS TUBULE. THE FUNCTION OF THE SERTOLI CELL IS SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPING GERM CELLS. Leydig cells Spermatogonia Spermatocytes Spermatids

Slide #101 (1096). Testis, rat. Primary S. Secondary S. spermatid Meiotic figures (metaphase plates) spermatids seminiferous tubule WHEN A SPERMATOGOIUM CELL IS SIGNALED TO UNDERGO MEIOSIS INSTEAD OF MITOSIS, THE CELL HAS REPLICATED ITS DNA TO BECOME 4N AND HAS ENTERED INTO THE FIRST PHASE OF MEIOSIS BUT NOT YET DIVIDED, SO THAT IT IS A DIPLOID 4N CELL, WHICH IS CALLED A PRIMARY (1°) SPERMATOCYTE. Myoid cell Spermatogonia Spermatocytes Sustentacular cell nuclei or Sertoli cells Leydig cells Secondary spermatocytes

DEMO SLIDE BOX 100 – Testis, stallion. Sertoli cells; spermatogonia; primary spermatocytes; late spermatids Leydig cells sustentacular (“Sertoli”) cells; LEYDIG (INTERSTITIAL) CELLS ARE LARGE, ROUND TO OVAL CELLS WITH ACIDOPHILIC BUT OFTEN PALELY STAINING CYTOPLASM. SOMETIMES THESE CELLS CAN APPEAR FOAMY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE STEROID PRODUCING CELLS.
