16
Q

spermatic cord

A

contains vas deferens, blood vessels, nerves, and muscles; passes through the inguinal canal

17
Q

inguinal canal

A

passageway for the spermatic cord through the abdominal muscles

18
Q

superficial inguinal ring

A

external; opening of the inguinal canal; palpable above the pubic tubercle

19
Q

deep inguinal ring

A

internal; opening where the spermatic cord exits the canal into the abdominal cavity

20
Q

Hesselbach’s triangle

A

contains the inferior epigastric vessel, inguinal ligament, and rectus abdominal muscle

21
Q

seminal vesicle

A

produces alkaline fluid within semen; contracts during ejaculation to move fluid and sperm through ejaculatory duct

22
Q

ejaculatory duct

A

area where the vas deferens meets the seminal vesicle; pathway for semen into urethra

23
Q

cowper gland

A

releases alkalitic solution during sex to neutralize urine and make sperm even more viable

24
Q

prostate gland

A

chestnut shaped organ that surrounds the proximal portion of the urethra
contracts during ejaculation to expel prostatic fluid that is part of semen; fluid aids in sperm health and fertility

25
Q

penis

A

external genitalia that the urethra runs through to expel urine and semen
divided into the base, shaft, and glans penis

26
Q

prepuce

A

loose skin that covers the glans penis; removed during circumcision

27
Q

corpus cavernosum and spongiosum

A

erectile tissue; surrounds urethra

28
Q

hormones

A

GnRH- stimulates secretion of FSH and LH
FSH- spermatogenesis
LH- testosterone secretion

29
Q

testosterone

A

sperm production, metabolism, secondary sex, and regulates negative feedback
produced in Leydig cells

30
Q

GU exam

A

inspect skin of the external genitalia and the opening of the urethral meatus
palpation the external genitalia for temperature, tenderness, swelling

31
Q

PE

A

vital signs, general statement, skin, heart and lungs, abdominal exam, GU exam, lymphatic eval, rectal exam

32
Q

cremasteric reflex

A

palate the medial aspect of the upper thigh inwards using a tongue depressor
testicle on the ipsilateral side will retract towards the core

33
Q

prehn’s sign

A

elevate the pt’s testicle and asses improvement of testicular pain

34
Q

transillumination

A

place a light source on the scrotum to illuminate the scrotal content

35
Q

digital rectal exam

A

performed to palpate the prostate gland for size, shape, consistency, irregularities, and tenderness

36
Q

dx work up
