Trans - Male and Female Internal Genitalia Flashcards
T/F: Some parts of the male internal genitalia are intraperitoneal, some are retroperitoneal
F. All are retroperitoneal
Components of the male internal genitalia
Glands – prostate, seminal vesicle, Cowper’s gland
Ducts – ductus deferens, ejaculatory ducts, urethra
Shape of the prostate
Tetrahedral, walnut-shaped
The prostate is traversed by:
Prostatic urethra, 2 ejaculatory ducts
Parts of the urethra
Prostatic
Membranous
Spongy
Prostatic ducts open into what structure
Prostatic sinuses
T/F: Prostatic fluid is only secreted prior to ejaculation
F. Continuous secretion, with a ~2000 fold increase during ejaculation
T/F: The prostate has a true fibrous capsule
F
What region of the prostate is most predisposed to cancer? Why?
Posterior region, because of its glandular nature
Cholinergic innervations of the prostate
Nervi erigentes
Function of sphincter vesicae
Prevent retrograde ejaculation
Benign prostatic hypertrophy is usually related to what lobes?
