Testis
|
|
Testis (plural testes). A male's testes are located in a pouch that hangs suspended outside his body. The testes produce testosterone and sperm.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Testes
The pair of male glands, contained in the scrotum, that produce sperm.
Testosterone
The hormone that promotes the building of muscle mass in males and libido in both sexes.
Sperm
A sperm cell, or spermatozoon (pl. spermatozoa) (in Greek: sperm = semen and zoon = alive), is the haploid cell that is the male gamete. It is carried in fluid called semen, and is capable of fertilising an egg cell to form a zygote. A zygote can grow into a new organism, such as a human. Sperm cells contain half of the genetic information needed to create life. Generally, the sex of the offspring is determined by the sperm, through the chromosomal pair "XX" (for a female) or "XY" (for a male).

Where the testicle twists inside the scrotum, usually because of an injury to the scrotum; can lead to infertility.

Talus
Most superior bone of the foot that provides the primary connection between the leg and the foot and that articulates with the calcaneus to make up the subtalar joint.
Tibia
The segment of the leg between the femur and the tarsus.
Tarsus
Upper ankle region, or parts corresponding to it.
Trophoblast
A granular protoplasmic body; a plastid, formed from , eventually surrounds the entire embryo; insert themselves between uterine epithelial cells, then spread along the epithelial surface of the basal lamina that underlies the endometrial epithelium to form a trophoplate.
Telophase
The final stage of mitosis in which the chromosomes migrate to opposite poles, a new nuclear envelope forms, and the chromosomes uncoil. The last phase of nuclear division in eukaryotes when the segregated chromosomes uncoil and begin to reform nuclei. This is immediately followed (in most cases) by cytokinesis.
Testis
Thyroid scan
Uses a radioactive substance to create an image of the thyroid as it is functioning.
Thyroxin (T4)
A hormone secreted by the thyroid gland which regulates metabolism.
Triiodothyronine (T3)
A hormone secreted by the thyroid gland which regulates metabolism; exerts the same biological effects as thyroxine, but is generally more potent and the onset of its effect is more rapid.
Type 1 Diabetes
A condition in which the body's immune system destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Insulin allows glucose to enter the cells of the body to provide energy. Persons with type 1 diabetes must take daily insulin injections.
