Pair of exocrine glands near the male urethra. They secrete fluid into the urethra.

Bulbourethral glands

Bulbourethral glands are also called...

Cowper Glands

Ejection of sperm and fluid from the male urethra

Ejaculation

Tube through which semen enters the male urethra

Ejaculatory duct

One of a pair of long, tightly coiled tubes above each testis. It stores and carries sperm from seminiferous tubules to the vas deferens

Epididymus

Inability of an adult male to achieve an erection; impotence

Erectile dysfunction

Two infants resulting from fertilization of two separate ova by two separate sperm cells

Fraternal twins

Sensitive tip of the penis; comparable to the clitoris in the female

Glans penis

Two infants resulting from division of one fertilized egg into two distinct embryos

Identical twins

Male external organ of reproduction

Penis

External region between the anus and scrotum in the male

Perineum

Foreskin; fold of skin covering the tip of the penis

Prepuce

Exocrine gland at the base of the male urinary bladder. This secretes one of the fluid parts of semen into the urethra during ejaculation.

Prostate gland

External sac that contains the testes

Scrotum

Spermatozoa and seminal fluid discharged from the urethra during ejaculation

Semen

Paired sac-like exocrine glands that secrete fluid into the vas deferens

Seminal vesicles

Narrow, coiled tubules that produce sperm in the testes

Seminiferous tubules

Sperm cell

Spermatozoon

Procedure that removes a person's ability to produce or release reproductive cells; removal of testicles, vasectomy, and oophorectomy are sterilization procedures

Sterilization

Male gonad that produces spermatozoa and the hormone testosterone

Testis

Hormone secreted by the interstitial tissue of the testes; responsible for male sex characteristics

Twisting of the spermatic cord

Testicular torsion

Enlarged, dilated veins near the testicle

Varicocele

Benign growth of cells within the prostate gland

Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Surgical treatment which relieves the obstruction of a benign growth of cells within the prostate gland, but overgrowth of cells may recur over several years

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)

Malignant tumor of the prostate gland

Carcinoma of the prostate

_____ can detect the tumor (of the prostate) at a later stage

Digital rectal examination (DRE)

Early detection of a prostate tumor depends on _____

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test

Congenital abnormality in which the male urethral opening is on the undersurface of the penis instead of at its tip

Hypospadias

Narrowing (stricture) of the opening of the prepuce over the glans penis

Phimosis

Bacterial invasion of the urethra and reproductive tract

Chlamydial infection

Inflammation of the genital tract mucosa, caused by infection with gonococci
