Male Reproductive System -Q – Anatomic Terms & A – Meaning
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| scrotum | skin-covered pouch in the groin divided into two sacs, each containing a testis and an epididymis |
| testis | one of the two male reproductive glands, located in the scrotum, that produce sperm and the hormone testosterone |
| sperm | male gamete or sex cell produced in the testes that unites with the ovum in the female to produce offspring |
| epididymis | coiled duct on the top and at the side of the testis that stores sperm before emission |
| penis | erectile tissue covered with skin that contains the urethra for urination and the ducts for secretion of seminal fluid (semen) |
| glans penis | bulging structure at the distal end of the penis (glans = acorn) |
| prepuce | foreskin; loose casing that covers the glans penis; removed by circumcision |
| vas deferens | duct that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct (vas = vessel; deferens = carrying away) |
| seminal vesicle | one of two sac-like structures behind the bladder and connected to the vas deferens on each side; secretes an alkaline substance into the semen to enable the sperm to live longer |
| semen | a mixture of the secretions of the testes, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands discharged from the male urethra during orgasm (semen = seed) |
| ejaculatory duct | duct formed by the union of the vas deferens with the duct of the seminal vesicle; its fluid is carried into the urethra |
| prostate gland | trilobular gland that encircles the urethra just below the bladder and secretes an alkaline fluid into the semen (pro = before; stat = to stand) |
| bulbourethral glands | pair of glands below the prostate, with ducts opening into the urethra, that adds a viscid (sticky) fluid to the semen |
| perineum | external region between the scrotum and anus in a male and between the vulva and anus in a female |
