Overview of Anatomy and Physiology of the Male reproductive system
Testes
Anatomy
The testes are two avoid glands in the abdominal cavity behind the peritoneum, the descent testes together with blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves and ducts that form the male spermatic cord . The descending with the testes is the diverticulum of parietal peritoneum, which finally forms the tunica vaginalis, but the part between the upper pole of the testes and deep inguinal ring also get obliterated soon after birth.
physiology
The testes consist the numerous seminiferous tubules in which the spermatozoa and sex hormones are formed.
The Prostate gland
Physiology
The prostate secretes the thin alkaline substance that forms pert seminal fluids, This alkalinity helps to protect the sperm from acidic environment in the vagina during coitus
Anatomy
The prostate gland is the size and shape of the chestnut, It lies below the neck of the bladder, It is shaped like a flattened cone, and is situated in the pelvis about 2 cm posterior to the symphysis pibis. The prostate is inverted so that its apex is inferior and its base is superior around the bladder neck anterior to the rectum.
The Male urethra
Anatomy
This is about 20 cm long, It extend from the neck of the bladder through the prostate gland the length of the penis and at the distal end of the penis
Physiology
It convey urine from the bladder and spermatozoa, seminal fluid and prostatic fluid during sexual intercourse
The Penis
Anatomy
The Penis is composed of three cylindrical masses of erectile muscle enclosed in separate fibrous covering and held together by a covering of skin, A Flap of movable and retractable skin, the foreskin or prepuse, covers the glands
Physiology
The Penis is an organ for both uranation and copulation
