One difference between the glans penis and the glans clitoridis is that the glans clitoridis packs nerve endings into a volume only about one-tenth the size of the glans penis. Therefore, the glans clitoridis has greater variability in cutaneous corpuscular receptor density (1-14 per 100× high-powered field) compared with the glans penis (1-3 ...
The right lower quadrant (RLQ) extends from the median plane to the right of the patient, and from the umbilical plane to the right inguinal ligament. The equivalent term for animals is right posterior quadrant. Important organs here are: Cecum; Appendix; Ascending colon; Right ovary and fallopian tube; Right ureter
Length Transverse diameter (of inlet) Between extreme lateral points of pelvic inlet: 13.5–14 cm Oblique diameter I: Right sacroiliac joint: Left iliopubic eminence: 12-12.5 cm Oblique diameter II: Left sacroiliac joint: Right iliopubic eminence: 11.5–12 cm Anatomical conjugate (true conjugate) Pubic symphysis: Promontory ~12 cm Obstetric ...
A.—Diagram of the primitive urogenital organs, from 'Diagrams to show the development of male and female generative organs from a common type' * w, w. Right and left Wolffian ducts. The observable, visual differences become apparent between male or the female reproductive organs are not seen initially.
The ovary of teleosts is also often hollow, but in this case, the eggs are shed into the cavity, which opens into the oviduct. [52] Certain nematodes of the genus Philometra are parasitic in the ovary of marine fishes and can be spectacular, with females as long as 40 cm (16 in), coiled in the ovary of a fish half this length. [54]
A study by Swan et al. determined that the AGD is linked to fertility in males, and penis size. [3] Males with a short AGD (lower than the median around 52 mm (2 in)) have seven times the chance of being sub-fertile as those with a longer AGD. It is linked to both semen volume and sperm count. [8]
An ovary is not directly connected to its adjacent fallopian tube. When ovulation is about to occur, the sex hormones activate the fimbriae, [citation needed] causing them to swell with blood, extend, and hit the ovary in a gentle, sweeping motion. An oocyte is released from the ovary into the peritoneal cavity and the cilia of the fimbriae ...
Male gonad (testes, left) and female gonad (ovaries, right) Males have two testicles of similar size contained within the scrotum, which is an extension of the abdominal wall. [1] Scrotal asymmetry, in which one testicle extends farther down into the scrotum than the other, is common. This is because of the differences in the vasculature's ...
