Abstract: REYES, CHERRY B. GROSS MORPHOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY OF ACCESSORY SEX GLANDS OF MALE SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS EXPOSED TO HEAT. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April, 2003. Adviser: Louella Maria A. Custodio, DVM. The effect of heat on the gross morphology and histology of the accessory sex glands of male Sprague-Dawley rats were conducted from September to November 2002. The rats were divided into a control and experimental group. Each rat was placed in a separate cage. The experimental animals were exposed to the heat of a 25-watt bulb (38°C) installed inside their cage for twelve 12) hours a day. After fort-five (45) days all rats were sacrificed and their accessory sex glands namely the seminal vesicles, prostate glands and bulbourethral glands of each group was compared. There were no significant differences between the gross length and width of the seminal vesicles and bulbourethral glands as well as the length of the prostate gland. However, gross differences on the width of the prostate glands of each group were significant. Tissue sections of the accessory sex glands were prepared and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin for characterization of histological features. The mean thickness of the lining epithelium and tunica adventitia of the seminal vesicles and the lining epithelium of the prostate gland were significantly different. Changes in the lining epithelium of the heat exposed animals include shorter epithelial cells and a decreased number of mucosal folds on the proximal, middle and distal part of the seminal vesicles and prostate glands.
