24
Q

urethral glands

A

mucus secreting glands that empty directly into the Spongy Urethra

25
Q

paraurethral glands

A

homologous to the Prostate Gland, secretions are conveyed via a common duct to an area near the External
Urethral Orifice

26
Q

urethral glands

A

mucus secreting glands that empty directly into the Urethra

27
Q

penile raphe

A

midline Skin fold between Glans Penis and Scrotum

28
Q

scrotal raphe

A

midline Skin fold between Penile Raphe and Perineal Raphe

29
Q

perineal raphe

A

midline Skin fold between Scrotal Raphe and Anus

30
Q

Deferentectomy, or Vasectomy

A

the ligation and/or excision of the Ductus Deferens through an incision made in the superior Scrotum, thereby rendering the resultant ejaculant devoid of
Spermatozoa

31
Q

seminiferous tubules

A

site of spermatozoa formation

32
Q

straight tubule

A

transfer spermatozoa to rete testis

33
Q

rete testis

A

sinusoidal spaces where spermatozoa enter the efferent ductules of the epididymis

34
Q

septum

A

separate between lobular formations of seminiferous and straight tubules

35
Q

deep fascia of penis

A

surround the erectile tissue and deep Vasculature, made of Deep Perineal Fascia

36
Q

root of the penis

A

attached, includes the Bulb and Crura of the Penis, Bulbospongiosus M. and Ischiocavernosus M.

37
Q

body of the penis

A

free, includes connective tissue, paired corpora Cavernosa, Corpus Spongiosum and Spongy
Urethra

38
Q

glans penis

A

distal conical expansion, continuous with Corpus Spongiosum proximally

39
Q

bulb of penis

A

erectile tissue at the Root of the Penis, continuous with the Corpus spongiosum

40
Q

corpus spongiosum

A

ventrally positioned

erectile tissue, transmits the Spongy Urethra

41
Q

corona of the glans

A

margin of the Glans Penis which projects proximally over the Corpus Cavernosa

42
Q

neck of the glans

A

separation of the Body and Glans Penis

43
Q

crura of the penis

A

erectile tissue associated

proximally with the corresponding Inferior Pubic Ramus, continuous with the two Corpus Cavernosa

44
Q

corpus cavernosum

A

paired erectile tissue,

houses the paired Deep A. of the Penis

45
Q

external urethra orifice

A

exit point of the Urethra at the tip of the Glans Penis

46
Q

prepuce

A

Skin and Fascia of the Penis that covers the Glans

Penis to a variable extent

47
Q

frenulum

A

ventrally located median fold

48
Q

prostate gland

A

unpaired, largest accessory gland of the male reproduction system, produces Prostatic Fluid which makes up 20% of Seminal Fluid, described as having an anterior lobe, posterior lobe, two lateral lobes and a middle lobe

49
Q

prostatic ducts

A

convey Prostatic Fluid from the parenchyma of the Gland to the Prostatic Sinus

50
Q

enlargement of the prostate gland

A

Occurs with increasing age and can impinge on the
Prostatic Urethra, impeding urination. Enlargement of the Prostate Gland and Prostatic Cancer can both be determined by Digital Rectal Examination

51
Q

seminal vesicles

A

paired, elongated structure between the Urinary
Bladder and Rectum, secrete an alkaline fluid which becomes part of the
ejaculatory Semen

52
Q

duct of the seminal vesicle

A

coveys the secretions of the

Seminal Vesicle to the Ejaculatory Duct

53
Q

ejaculatory ducts

A

begin at the union of the Ampulla of the Ductus
Deferens and Ducts of the Seminal Vesicle, near the Neck of the Urinary
Bladder, converge immediately proximal to the Prostatic Urethra, empty into the Prostatic urethra through paired opening on the Seminal Colliculus on either side of the Prostatic Utricle

54
Q

bulbourethral glands

A

pea-sized glands positioned posterolateral to the Membranous Urethra, produce a mucus-like substance during sexual arousa

55
Q

duct of the bubourethral gland

A

conveys Bulbourethral

secretions to the Intrabulbar Fossa of the Spongy Urethra
