What are the functions of the male reproductive system? The external parts of the male reproductive system include the  penis, scrotum, and testicles. The internal parts are the  epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, ureth … ra, seminal  vesicles, prostate gland, and the bulbourethral glands.hey pass through the vas deferens ducts, to the penis, and out into the vaginal tract of the female. Humans are very similar to other primates in reproductive functions, and not entirely different from most mammals.

- The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is a vast network of membrane-bound vesicles and tubules.It does the following: 1. lipid and steroid hormone synthesis. 2. breakdown of lipid-soluble toxins in liver cells. 3. control of calcium release in muscle cell contraction.he smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth er) has two main purposes. The first is that it contains enzymes that synthesize lipids. These lipids are vital to the cell membrane, … which, is composed of a lipid bilayer.

- Report Abuse. Smooth muscle lines hollow organs, blood vessels, glands, etc. In the gut, there is a circular layer of smooth muscle (for mixing food and enzymes and digestive juices together) and a longitudinal layer of smooth muscle (for propelling food along). Skeletal muscle is attached to bones, or to the body surface (some facial muscles).

Human Physiology/The male reproductive system The male reproductive system consists of the testes and a series of ducts and glands. Sperm are produced in the testes and are transported through the reproductive ducts. These ducts include the epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct and urethra.

- Smooth muscle cells (SMC) of the vascular system form an intriguing population of cells that are relevant for maintaining vascular tone and function. They also play a key role in pathological processes in the vessel wall.n the range of the contractile markers, there is an increasing list found in various animal species, including man, such as SM22, 7 19 1E12, 20 smoothelin, 21 and smooth muscle (SM) myosin. 22 23 It is important to note that they all are expressed in time after SM α-actin.

- Sperm Transport. The prostate also contains 30 percent smooth muscle tissue. This muscle tissue helps propel the sperm out of the penis during ejaculation. This effectively transports the sperm, as well as the seminal fluid, from the prostate and testicles and out of the body.

Endoplasmic Reticulum: Structure and Function In liver cells the smooth ER produces enzymes that help to detoxify certain compounds. In muscles the smooth ER assists in the contraction of muscle cells, and in brain cells it synthesizes male and female hormones. The endoplasmic reticulum is only one component of a cell.ne region is called rough ER because it has ribosomes attached to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. The other region is called smooth ER because it lacks attached ribosomes. Typically, the smooth ER is a tubule network and the rough ER is a series of flattened sacs. The space inside of the ER is called the lumen.

Endoplasmic reticulum The smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and functions in lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and detoxification of drugs. The smooth ER is especially abundant in mammalian liver and gonad cells. The lacy membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum were first seen in 1945 using electron microscopy.he smooth endoplasmic reticulum (abbreviated SER) has functions in several metabolic processes. It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids. Cells which secrete these products, such as those in the testes, ovaries, and sebaceous glands have an abundance of smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Male Reproductive System The internal organs of the male reproductive system, also called accessory organs, include the following: Epididymis: The epididymis is a long, coiled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle. It transports and stores sperm cells that are produced in the testes.It also is the job of the epididymis to bring the sperm to maturity, since the sperm that emerge from the testes are immature and incapable of fertilization. During sexual arousal, contractions force the sperm into the vas deferens.pididymis: The epididymis is a long, coiled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle.

RIXIMKA DUMARKA Smooth muscle is found within the walls of blood vessels (such smooth muscle specifically being termed vascular smooth muscle) such as in the tunica media layer of large (aorta) and small arteries, arterioles and veins.owever, smooth muscle tissue tends to demonstrate greater elasticity and function within a larger length-tension curve than striated muscle. This ability to stretch and still maintain contractility is important in organs like the intestines and urinary bladder.

Smooth muscle tissue Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle. It is divided into two subgroups; the single-unit and multiunit smooth muscle. Within single-unit cells, the whole bundle or sheet contracts as a syncytium. It occurs in the walls of hollow organs, including the stomach, intestines, urinary bladder and uterus, and is found in the walls of passageways, such as the arteries and veins of the circulatory system, and the tracts of the respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. Furthermore, it

WEEK 13 - Male reproductive system (Module 11) The dartos muscle works in conjunction with the cremaster muscle to elevate the testis In a cool environment, by drawing the testis closer to the body and reducing surface area, thereby reducing heat loss, while when it is warmer, the cremaster relaxes, allowing the testis to cool by increasing exposed surface area.

70 10.8 Smooth Muscle Unlike other muscle, smooth muscle can also divide to produce more cells, a process called hyperplasia. This can most evidently be observed in the uterus at puberty, which responds to increased estrogen levels by producing more uterine smooth muscle fibers, and greatly increases the size of the myometrium.

Smooth Muscle Smooth muscle (so-named because the cells do not have striations) is present in the walls of hollow organs like the urinary bladder, uterus, stomach, intestines, and in the walls of passageways, such as the arteries and veins of the circulatory system, and the tracts of the respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems ([link]ab).

Chapter 9 smooth muscle Single-unit smooth muscle, commonly called visceral muscle because it is in the walls of all hollow organs except the heart, is far more common. All the smooth muscle characteristics described so far pertain to single-unit smooth muscle.his propulsive action is called peristalsis. Contraction of smooth muscle in the rectum, urinary bladder, and uterus helps those organs expel their contents. Smooth muscle contraction also accounts for the constricted breaking of asthma and for stomach craps.

What does your smooth muscle do? The glomeruli of the kidneys contain a smooth muscle-like cell called the mesangial cell. Smooth muscle is fundamentally different from skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle in terms of structure, function, excitation-contraction coupling, and mechanism of contraction.est Answer: Smooth muscle is a type of non-striated muscle, found within the tunica media layer of arteries and veins, the bladder, uterus, male, female, and all animals, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, the ciliary muscle and iris of the eye.

- The male reproductive system includes the scrotum, testes, spermatic ducts, sex glands, and penis.These organs work together to produce sperm, the male gamete, and the other components of semen.perm produced in the testes moves into the epididymis to mature before being passed on through the male reproductive organs. The length of the epididymis delays the release of the sperm and allows them time to mature.
