52
Peyronie disease
Abnormal curvature of the penis
53
Phimosis
Narrowing (stricture) of the opening of the prepuce over the glans penis
54
Chlamydia
Bacterial infection of the urethra and reproductive tract 
55
Gonorrehea
Inflammation of the genital tract mucosa caused by infection with gonococci (berry shaped bacteria )
56
Herpes genitalis
Infection of skin and genital mucosa caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV)
57
Spermatozoon
Sperm cell
58
Spermatozoon
Sperm cell
59
Flagellum
Tail of a sperm
60
Scrotum
A sac enclosing the testes on the outside of the body
61
Perineum
Between the anus and the scrotum
62
parenchymal tissue
they perform the essential work of the organ (formation of sperm)
63
Interstitial cells
They manufacture testosterone
64
parenchyma
performs the essential functions of the organ.
65
Glands penis
Tip of the penis
66
interstitial cells of the testes
Specialized cells that lie adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testes. These cells produce testosterone and are also called Leydig cells.
67
parenchymal tissue
Essential distinctive cells of an organ. In the testis, the seminiferous tubules that produce sperm are parenchymal.
68
prepuce
Foreskin; fold of skin covering the tip of the penis.
69
prostate gland
Exocrine gland at the base of the male urinary bladder. The prostate secretes fluid that contributes to semen during ejaculation.
70
scrotum
External sac that contains the testes.
71
semen is made up of
Spermatozoa (sperm cells) and seminal fluid (prostatic and seminal vesicle secretions), discharged from the urethra during ejaculation.
72
seminal vesicles
Paired sac-like exocrine glands that secrete fluid (a major component of semen) into the vas deferens.
73
seminiferous tubules
Narrow, coiled tubules that produce sperm in the testes.
74
stromal tissue
Supportive, connective tissue of an organ, as distinguished from its parenchyma. Also called stroma.
75
Testis/testes
Male gonad, testicles
76
vas deferens
Narrow tube (one on each side) carrying sperm from the epididymis toward the urethra. Also called ductus deferens.
77
Andr/o
Male
78
balan/o
glans penis
79
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign growth of cells within the prostate gland
