Q

Describe the anatomy of the male urethra.

Where do the cowpers glands enter?

A

3 parts - prostatic, membranous (after the prostate and before the penis), penile (spongy, cavernous).

15-29cm long

The bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s glands) enter in the membranous portion.

The vas deferens travels from the testicles and then joins the seminal vesicle to formt he ejaculator duct. It then travels into the prostate to join the urethra
