In the male reproductive system, the testes are suspended by the spermatic cord. Within each spermatic cord are several structures. These include the testicular artery, testicular veins, lymphatics, the deferent duct and testicular nerves. The testicular arteries arise from the abdominal aorta and descend into the testes. They supply the ureters, testes, and epididymis. The […]READ POST
Spermatogenesis is the process whereby spermatozoa are formed. Spermatogenesis has two stages: spermatocytogenesis and spermiogenesis. Spermatocytogenesis is the first stage of spermatogenesis, whereby spermatogonia develop into spermatocytes and eventually spermatids. Spermatogonia are the germ cells of spermatozoa. Type A dark (Ad) spermatogonia undergo mitotic division at irregular intervals giving rise to either a pair of […]READ POST

Smooth muscle is one of the three types of muscle found in the body; cardiac and skeletal muscle being the other two. Smooth muscle is an involuntary muscle, meaning it is not under conscious control. It is found almost everywhere in the body. For example, it can be found in the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract […]READ POST
The small intestine is a key part of the digestive system. Spanning 6-7m within the abdominal cavity, the small intestine has roles in digestion and absorption. The small intestine is divided into three parts: the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum. The first part, the duodenum, is the shortest section. It is about 25-30cm long. […]READ POST
Lying within our abdomen is the pancreas. This organ is an accessory organ of the digestive system and has both endocrine and exocrine functions that help us digest the food we eat. Pancreatic exocrine cells, or acinar cells, are surrounded by loose connective tissue to form clusters of lobular acini. This exocrine unit makes up […]READ POST
The urinary system is important in maintaining homeostasis of the body. For example, the urinary system regulates levels of fluids and electrolytes within the body. The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. The kidney is composed of three layers: the capsule, the renal cortex and the renal medulla. The renal medulla […]READ POST
It’s an action we perform many times throughout the day without consciously thinking about it (about 580 times to be exact). Yet, without it we would never be able to receive the nutrients we intake daily. Swallowing is a simple enough action, but extremely important for our overall health. Here we will look more at […]READ POST
