export_male genitalia Flashcards
What part of the penis does the urethra run through?
Corpus spongiosum
What is the head of the penis made up of?
Differentiations of the corpus spongiosum
Where do the lymphatics of the testes drain?
Abdominal lymph nodes
Where do the lymphatics of the penis and scrotum drain?
Inguinal lymph nodes
Tanner Stage I
Childhood
Tanner Stage II
Early puberty
Tanner Stage III
Mid-puberty
Tanner Stage IV
Late puberty
Tanner Stage V
Adulthood
Hypospadias
Shortened urethra and splitting on the ventral shaft/head of penis due to embryological dysfunction
Balanitis
Generally a yeast infection of the smegma behind the corona of the penile head
What is almost always the answer on a test question?
Good history and physical
Diagnose herpes
Multi-nucleated cells
Hydrocele
Fluid accumulation in the tunica vaginalis
Difference between epididymitis and testicular torsion
Onset - epididymitis (infectious) is gradual, but torsion (vascular) is sudden
Indirect hernia
Enters internal ring and exits external ring
Often into scrotum
Direct hernia
Enters through weakness in abdominal wall and exits via external ring
Bulges anteriorly
Femoral hernia
Goes underneath the inguinal ligament and exits out of the femoral ring
Never into scrotum
Testicular cancer screening
Don’t do it
If a patient comes in with lump, then you’re assessing
Balanitis
Inflammation of the glans penis and prepuce
Chordee
Ventral shortening and curvature of the penis
Circumcision
Surgical removal of the prepuce
Cremasteric
Reflex that causes the scrotum and testicle to rise when the inner thigh is stroked
Epididymitis
Inflammation of the epididymis
Escutcheon
Pattern of hair growth on the pubis and abdomen
Glans
Distal portion of the penis produced by the corpus spongiosum
Hydrocele
Accumulation of serous fluid in a saclike cavity, especially in the tunica vaginalis testis; serous tumors of the testes or associated parts
Hypospadias
Congenital defect resulting in the urethral meatus being located on the ventral surface of the glans penis
Impotence
Inability to achieve and/or maintain penile erection
Orchitis
Acute inflammation of the testis due to infection
Phimosis
Inability to replace the foreskin to its usual position
Priapism
Prolonged penile erection
Testicular torsion
Twisting of the testis on the spermatic cord
Urethritis
Inflammation of the urethra
Varicocele
Abnormal tortuosity and dilation of veins of the pampiniform plexus within the spermatic cord
Associated with reduced fertility, probably from increased venous pressure and elevated testicular temperature
