prostate gland

29
Q

in the prostate gland, the …… passes through “hole” -

A

urethra

30
Q

…… fluid protect sperm from male urine and female vagina, therefore maintain motility -

A

alkaline

31
Q

its also called cowpers gland

  • mucus to lubricate
  • alkaline to combat acidity
  • this pre-ejaculate cleans urine out of the urethra

33
Q

its 3 cylindrical masses of …. tissue -

A

erectile tissue

34
Q

A

corpus cavernosum

corpus spongiosum

35
Q

2 larger uppermost -

A

corpus cavernosum

36
Q

smaller,lower one

contains the urethra

A

corpus spongiosum

37
Q

42
Q

how erections occur -

A
