Objectives
- Gain an overview of the microanatomy of the male reproductive system.
- Undertake a microscopical examination of the testis, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, prostate gland, penis, and sperm. The functional significance of the various histological structures identified will be discussed.
