Essential organs of the male genital system: | testes (gonads), vas deferens |
This gland activates sperm: | prostate gland |
This gland is also known as Cowper's gland: | bulbourethral gland |
The columns of erectile tissue in penis: | two corpora cavernosa, one spongiosum |
This passes through corpora spongiosum: | urethra |
Cavernosa | connection between cavity of penis and a vein |
Cavernosography | Radiography of a cavity |
Chordee | condition resulting in penis being bent downward |
Corpora Cavernosa | two cavities of penis |
Epididymis | tube located at the top of testes that stores sperm |
Epididymovasostomy | creation of a new connection between vas deferens and epididymis |
Meatotomy | surgical enlargement of opening of urinary meatus |
Orchiectomy | castration - removal of testes |
Orchiopexy | surgical procedure to release undescended testis and fixate within scrotum |
Penoscrotal | referring to penis and scrotum |
Plethysmography | determining changes in volume of an organ part or body |
Priapism | painful condition in which penis is constantly erect |
Prostatotomy | incision into prostate |
Transurethral resection, prostate | procedure performed through urethra by means of a cystoscopy to remove part or all of prostate |
Tumescence | state of being swollen |
Tunica vaginalis | covering of testes |
Varicocele | swelling of a scrotal vein |
Vas Deferens | tube that carries sperm from epididymis to ejaculatory duct and seminal vesciles |
Vasectomy | removal of a segment of vas deferens |
Vasogram | recording of flow in vas deferens |
Vasovasostomy | reversal of a vasectomy |
Vesiculectomy | excision of a seminal vesicle |
Vesiculotomy | incision into seminal vesicle |
Cryptorchidism | undescended testes |
Orchitis | inflammation of testes |
Types of sexually transmitted epididymitis: | gonorrhea, T. pallidum, T. vaginalis |
Hydrocele | collection of fluid in membranes of tunica vaginalis resulting in scrotal enlargement |
This is an abnormal dilation of plexus of veins that decreases sperm production and motility: | varicocele |
What is the cure rate of testicular cancer? | 95 percent |
Epispadias | congenital anomaly where urethral meatus is located on dorsal side of penis |
Hypospadias | urethral opening on ventral side of penis (most common abnormality of penis) |
2 types of infectious urethritis: | gonococcal, nongonococcal |
Balanitis | inflammation of glans penis |
Phimosis | prepuce (foreskin) becomes constricted, cannot be retracted over glans penis |
Paraphimosis | prepuce (foreskin) becomes constricted, is retracted over glans penis and cannot be moved forward |
Peyronie's Disease | bent nail syndrome - lateral curvature of penis during erection |
Bowen's Disease is the common name for: | intraepithelial neoplasia (tumor under the prepuce) |
BPH | Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia/Hypertrophy - mutliple fibroadenomatous nodules |
The most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men over 60: | prostate cancer |
Accessory organs of the male genital system: | penis, scrotum, seminal vesicles, prostate, Cowper's gland |
Testicular cancer is divided into these 2 groups: | germ cell tumors, sex stromal cord tumors |
Cancer of the prostate is predominately this type of cancer: | adenocarcinoma |
