put pressure on the cruise penis to release blood from the corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum for ejaculation
Which organ serves as the landmark when identifying the accessory sex glands in male reproductive tracts?
Bladder
What is the reasoning for the exterior vasculature observed on the surface of the testes?
