navicular fossa

Study These Flashcards
A

internal expansion of the Spongy Urethra in the Glans Penis

24
Q

urethral glands

Study These Flashcards
A

mucus secreting glands that empty directly into the Spongy Urethra

25
paraurethral glands
homologous to the Prostate Gland, secretions are conveyed via a common duct to an area near the External Urethral Orifice
26
urethral glands
mucus secreting glands that empty directly into the Urethra
27
penile raphe
midline Skin fold between Glans Penis and Scrotum
28
scrotal raphe
midline Skin fold between Penile Raphe and Perineal Raphe
29
perineal raphe
midline Skin fold between Scrotal Raphe and Anus
30
Deferentectomy, or Vasectomy
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
seminiferous tubules
site of spermatozoa formation
32
straight tubule
transfer spermatozoa to rete testis
33
rete testis
sinusoidal spaces where spermatozoa enter the efferent ductules of the epididymis
34
septum
separate between lobular formations of seminiferous and straight tubules
35
deep fascia of penis
surround the erectile tissue and deep Vasculature, made of Deep Perineal Fascia
36
root of the penis
attached, includes the Bulb and Crura of the Penis, Bulbospongiosus M. and Ischiocavernosus M.
37
body of the penis
free, includes connective tissue, paired corpora Cavernosa, Corpus Spongiosum and Spongy Urethra
38
glans penis
distal conical expansion, continuous with Corpus Spongiosum proximally
39
bulb of penis
erectile tissue at the Root of the Penis, continuous with the Corpus spongiosum
40
corpus spongiosum
ventrally positioned | erectile tissue, transmits the Spongy Urethra
41
corona of the glans
margin of the Glans Penis which projects proximally over the Corpus Cavernosa
42
neck of the glans
separation of the Body and Glans Penis
43
crura of the penis
erectile tissue associated | proximally with the corresponding Inferior Pubic Ramus, continuous with the two Corpus Cavernosa
44
corpus cavernosum
paired erectile tissue, | houses the paired Deep A. of the Penis
45
external urethra orifice
exit point of the Urethra at the tip of the Glans Penis
46
prepuce
Skin and Fascia of the Penis that covers the Glans | Penis to a variable extent
47
frenulum
ventrally located median fold
48
prostate gland
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
prostatic ducts
convey Prostatic Fluid from the parenchyma of the Gland to the Prostatic Sinus
50
enlargement of the prostate gland
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
seminal vesicles
paired, elongated structure between the Urinary Bladder and Rectum, secrete an alkaline fluid which becomes part of the ejaculatory Semen
52
duct of the seminal vesicle
coveys the secretions of the | Seminal Vesicle to the Ejaculatory Duct
53
ejaculatory ducts
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
bulbourethral glands
pea-sized glands positioned posterolateral to the Membranous Urethra, produce a mucus-like substance during sexual arousa
55
duct of the bubourethral gland
conveys Bulbourethral | secretions to the Intrabulbar Fossa of the Spongy Urethra
