  2. Pelvis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvis

    The same human pelvis, front imaged by X-ray (top), magnetic resonance imaging (middle), and 3-dimensional computed tomography (bottom). The pelvis (pl.: pelves or pelvises) is the lower part of an anatomical trunk, [1] between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region), together with its embedded skeleton [2] (sometimes also called bony pelvis or pelvic skeleton).

  3. John Thomas sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Thomas_sign

    It refers to the position of a penis as it relates to pathology on an X-ray of a pelvis. When the penis (visible on the X-ray as a shadow) points towards the same side as a unilateral medical condition such as a broken bone, this is considered a "positive John Thomas sign," and if the shadow points to the other side, it is a "negative John ...

  4. Pubic arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubic_arch

    A subpubic angle of 50–82 degrees indicates a male; an angle of 90 degrees indicates a female. [2] Other sources operate with 50–60 degrees for males and 70–90 degrees in females. [1] Women have wider hips, and thus a greater subpubic angle, in order to allow for child birth.

  5. Vas deferens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vas_deferens

    The vas deferens (pl.: vasa deferentia), ductus deferens (pl.: ductūs deferentes), or sperm duct is part of the male reproductive system of many vertebrates. In mammals, spermatozoa are produced in the seminiferous tubules and flow into the epididymal duct. The end of the epididymis is connected to the vas deferens.

  6. Male reproductive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_reproductive_system

    The male reproductive system consists of a number of sex organs that play a role in the process of human reproduction. These organs are located on the outside of the body, and within the pelvis .

    The rectovesical pouch is a space between the rectum and the bladder in men. [1] It lies above the seminal vesicles. [2] It is lined by peritoneum and at its base is the rectoprostatic fascia (Denonvillier's fascia).

  8. Pubis (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubis_(bone)

    In a propubic pelvis, however, the pubic bone extends forward towards the head of the animal, as can be seen in the typical saurischian pelvic structure pictured below. The acetabulum , which can be thought of as a "hip-socket", is an opening on each side of the pelvic girdle formed where the ischium , ilium , and pubis all meet, and into which ...

  9. List of related male and female reproductive organs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_related_male_and...

    This list of related male and female reproductive organs shows how the male and female reproductive organs and the development of the reproductive system are related, sharing a common developmental path. This makes them biological homologues. These organs differentiate into the respective sex organs in males and females.
