- A very sexually sensitive area of the penis
* The tip
Corona
Is the raised ridge at the base of the penile glans where the tip of the penis joins the shaft
Frenulum
Area of tissue at the base of the underside of the penile glans
Corpora Cavernosa
Two parallel chambers that run the length of the penis and become engorged with blood during erection. two of this in the penis
Corpus spongiosum
A middle chamber running the length of the penis into the glans that engorges with blood during erection
Circumcision
Removal of the foreskin of the penis
Foreskin
A layer of skin covering the glans of the penis
Erection
Rigidity of the penis or clitoris resulting from an inflow of blood during sexual arousal
Urethra
The tube extending from the bladder to the urethral opening, which carries urine out of the body in both women and men, as well as semen in men.
Phimosis
A condition in which tight foreskin can’t be pulled back over the head of the penis.
Scrotum
The sac of thin skin and muscle containing the testicles in the male
Testes
Oval structures approximately 1.0 to 1.5 inches in length made up of microscopic tubes in which sperm cells and testosterone are produced in the male
Gonads
Produce cells for reproduction, usually refer as testicles
Testosterone
Male sex hormone.Responsible for male sexual characteristics and production of sperm cells
Seminiferous Tubles
Tightly wound microscopic tubes that comprise the testicles in the male. Produce sperms
Interstitial Cells
Produce hormones and testosterones
Epididymis
Long, narrow structure attached to the back of each testicle, where the sperm cells are stored as they mature
Vas deferens
A tube extending from the testicles through epidermis into the male;s body for the transport of mature sperm cells during ejaculation;mixed with semen
ejaculations
expulsion of semen through the penis
Semen
• The fluid produced primarily by the prostate gland and seminal vesicles that is ejaculated with the sperm cells by men during orgasm.
A whitish or yellowish, viscous fluid composed of water, salt, and fructose sugars designed by nature to nourish and sustain sperm cells
Seminal vesicles
A scripture that produces fluid that becomes part of the semen that is expelled during ejaculation
Ejaculatory duct
A continuation of the tube that carries semen into the urethra for ejaculation
Prostate gland
A gland in males surrounding the urethra that produces the largest proportion of seminal fluid
Cowper’s glands
Small glands near the penile urethra that produce a slippery, mucus like substance during male sexual arousal.
Often secrete fluid into the urethra and out through the penis well before ejaculation
urethral bulb
The prostatic section of the urethra that expands with collected semen just prior to expulsion, creating the sensation of ejaculatory inevitability
Prostatitis specific antigen
An uncomfortable or painful inflammation of the prostate gland, usually caused by bacteria
Pubococcygeus muscle
exercise in this muscle can prevent a lot of sexual problem
PSA
blood test that indicates information about the Prostate Cancer
Peronei’s
U shape of penis where there is issue to the erectile tissue
Priapism
having erection for too long (vinaigrette)让射出的时间延长)
Vulva
Female External Genitals
Mons Venires
A slightly raised layer of fatty tissue on the top of a women’s pubic bone, usually covered with hair on an adult
Labia majora
Folds of skin and fatty tissue that extend form the mons down both sides of the vulva, past the vaginal opening to the perineum; outer lips
Labia minora
The smooth hairless inner lips of the vulva
Clitoris
Primarily function is to trigger orgasms in woman
Vagina
A flexible, muscular canal or tube, that extends into the woman’s body at an angle toward the small of the back, from the vulva to the cervix
Rugae
G- spot
An area of tissue on the anterior(upper) wall of the vagina that, when stimulated, may cause a woman to experience enhanced sexual arousal and more intense orgasms
Cervix
The lower end of the uterus that connects it to the vagina
OS
The very narrow passageway through the cervix, form the vagina to the uterus
Uterus
a very flexible organ with strong muscle fivers where a fertilized egg implants and an embryo and fetus grow, fro a few days after fertilizing until birth
Endometrium
The tissue lining the uterus that thickens in anticipation of pregnancy and is sloughed off and expelled during menstration
Fallopian tube
Where the eggs travel down to projections that get the egg.The tubes that carry the female ovum from the ovaries to the uterus and in which fertilization occurs
Ovum
the female reproductive cell stored in the ovaries
Ectopic pregnancy
A pregnancy complication in which a fertilized ovum attaches and begins to grow outside the uterus.
Ovaries
The female organs that produce sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone and where follicle cells are stored and mature into ova.
Estrogen
The female hormone responsible for regulating ovulation, endometrial development, and the development of female sexual characteristics
Progesterone
The female hormone responsible for the release of ova and implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterine wall
Dysmenorrhea
Painful periods. Including severe menstrual cramps
