d. Bulbourethral glands (2)
- Ducts;
a. Epididymides (2) (Sing. Epididymis)
b. Ductus Deferens (2)
c. Ejaculatory Ducts - Penis;
a. Urethra
b. Glans
c. Prepuce of Foreskin
are the two glands in which spermatozoa are developed
Testes / Testicles (Sing = Testis)
Testes or testis or testicles lie in the sac ___ below to pubic bones and are separated by a partition
Scrotum

1.0 x 1.5 inches
is a single globular gland about 1.5 inches in diameter and lies below the outlet for the urinary bladder
Prostate Gland
it is composed of many tubules which form a small duct which empty into the prostatic urethra
Prostate Gland
are two tube-like glands which lie behind the urinary bladder
Seminal Vesicles
each has a main duct that joins teh ductus deferens to form an ejaculatory duct
Seminal Vesicles
forms the prominence on the back of each testis
Epididymis
it composed of a single tube which is coiled upon itself
Epididymis
is a continuation of a duct of the epididymis that passes from the lower end of a testis up to scrotum snd in front of the pubic bone to the lower abdominal wall
Deferent Ducts / Ductus Deferens / Vas Deferens
are formed by the union of the ductus deferens a d duct from the seminal vesicle on each side
Ejaculatory Ducts
each passes through the prostate gland to open into the prostatic urethra
Ejaculatory Ducts
