Light micrograph of a rat testis

Light micrograph of a transverse section through a mammalian testis showing the seminiferous tubules, highly convoluted tubes lined with a stratified epithelium. The production of male gametes (spermatogenesis) and the subsequent development of these gametes into motile spermatozoa (spermiogenesis) both take place within this epithelium. Sertoli cells, which provide support and nourishment for the developing spermatozoa, are also found within the epithelium. Leydig cells, which have an endocrine function, are found either singly or in clumps in the interstitial spaces between the tubules. Magnification: x200 at 35mm size. RAT TESTIS

Reproduction Reproductive System Seminiferous Tubule Sertoli Cell Sperm Testis


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a rat testis, revealing the complex processes that occur within this vital reproductive organ. The image depicts a transverse section through the testis, highlighting the seminiferous tubules - convoluted tubes lined with a stratified epithelium. Within these tubules, spermatogenesis takes place, representing the production of male gametes and their subsequent development into motile spermatozoa during spermiogenesis. The epithelium also houses Sertoli cells, which play a crucial role in providing support and nourishment for developing spermatozoa. These specialized cells ensure optimal conditions for successful reproduction. Additionally, Leydig cells are scattered throughout the interstitial spaces between the tubules. With an endocrine function, they contribute to hormonal regulation within the reproductive system. At a magnification of x200 at 35mm size, this light micrograph captures every intricate detail of this remarkable process occurring within rat testes. Beyond its relevance to rats specifically, it offers valuable insights into mammalian reproductive systems as a whole. This stunning print from Science Photo Library provides both scientists and enthusiasts alike with an opportunity to marvel at nature's intricacies while deepening our understanding of male anatomy and reproduction without any commercial intent or association mentioned.
