What is the small blind ended pouch in the seminal colliculus?
an embryological remnant of the uterovaginal canal called the prostatic utricle
What can be found in the prostatic sinus?
opening for prostatic ductules for prostatic fluid
What can be foun din the intrabulbar fossa?
openings for the ducts of the bulbourethral glands
What are urethral glands?
mucus secreting glands that empty directly into the spongy urethra or female urethra

What is deferentectomy?
also called vasectomy
ligation and/or excision of the ductus deferens through an incision made in the superior scrotum
rendering the resultant ejaculant devoid of spermatozoa

transversalis fascia
What is the sinus of the epididymis?
small recessed slit in the visceral tunica vaginalis between the epididymis and testis
What forms the trigone?
two ureteric orfices and internal urethral orifice
What are paraurethral glands?
homologous to the prostate gland, secretions are conveyed via a common duct to an area near the external urethral orifice in females
