Bulbourethral Glands
|
Two Exocrine glands near the male urethra.
|
|
Ductus Deferens
|
Vas Deferens.
|
|
Cowper Glands
|
Bulbourethral Glands.
|
|
Ejaculation
|
Ejection of sperm and fluid from the male urethra.
|
|
Ejaculatory Duct
|
Tube formed by the union of the vas deferens and the duct of the seminal vesicles, opening into the urethra at the prostate gland.
|
|
Epididymis (Plural Epididymides)
|
Tube located on top of each testis; it carries and stores the sperm cells before the enter the vas deferens.
|
|
Flagellum
|
Hair-like process on a sperm cell that makes it motile (able to move).
|
|
Fraternal Twins
|
Twins resulting from two separate, concurrent fertilizations.
|
|
Glans Penis
|
Sensitive tip of the penis.
|
|
Identical Twins
|
Twins resulting from the separation of one fertilized egg into two distinct embryos.
|
|
Interstitial Cells of the Testis
|
Cells that lie between the seminiferous tubules and produce the hormone testosterone. A pituitary gland hormone (LH) stimulates the interstitial cells to produce testosterone.
|
|
Parenchymal Tissue (parenchyma)
|
Tissue composed of the essential cells of any organ. In the testes, parenchymal tissue includes seminiferous tubules that produce sperm.
|
|
Perineum
|
Area between the anus and scrotum in the male.
|
|
Prepuce (foreskin)
|
Skin covering the tip of the penis.
|

|
|
Scrotum
|
External sac (double pouch) that contains the testes.
|
|
Semen
|
Spermatozoa and fluid (prostatic and other glandular secretions).
|
|
Seminal Vesicles
|
Glands that secrete a fluid into the Vas Deferens.
|
|
Seminiferous Tubules
|
Narrow, coiled tubules in the testes that produce sperm.
|
|
Spermatozoon (Plural: Spermatozoa)
|
Sperm Cell.
|
|
Sterilization
|
Any procedure rendering an individual incapable of reproduction; Vasectomy and Salpingectomy are examples.
|
|
Stroma
|
Supportive, connective tissue of an organ.
|
|
Testis (Plural: Testes)
|
Male Gonad that produces Spermatozoa and the hormone testosterone; Testicle.
|
|
Testosterone
|
Hormone secreted by the interstitial tissue of the testes; responsible for male sex characterisitics.
|
|
Vas Deferens
|
Narrow tube (one on each side) that carries sperm from the epididymis into the body and toward the urethra.
|
|
ductus deferens
|
Vas Deferens
|
