Secretory fluid from the bulbourethral glands appearing on the glans of a human penis. The bulbourethral gland contributes up to 4 ml of fluid during sexual arousal. [9] The secretion is a clear fluid rich in mucoproteins that help to lubricate the distal urethra and neutralize any acidic urine residue that remains in the urethra.
The root of the penis begins directly below the bulbourethral glands, or Cowper glands, and consists of three long masses of tissue; the bulb and the crura.The bulb of the penis is an enlarged mass of erectile tissue that is located in the midline of the root and is traversed by the male urethra.
The glands are formed as many follicles, which drain into canals and subsequently 12–20 main ducts, These in turn drain into the urethra as it passes through the prostate. [4] There are also a small amount of flat cells, which sit next to the basement membranes of glands, and act as stem cells.
Seminal vesicles: two glands behind the bladder that secrete many of the semen's components. Prostate gland: a gland located below the bladder that produces seminal fluid and helps regulate urine flow. Bulbourethral glands: add fluid to semen during ejaculation (pre-ejaculate).
The male accessory glands are the ampullary gland, seminal vesicle, prostate, bulbourethral gland, and urethral gland. [5]The products of these glands serve to nourish and activate the spermatozoa, to clear the urethral tract prior to ejaculation, serve as the vehicle of transport of the spermatozoa in the female tract, and to plug the female tract after placement of spermatozoa to help ensure ...
Ejaculation occurs in two stages, the emission stage and the expulsion stage. [4] The emission stage involves the workings of several structures of the ejaculatory duct; contractions of the prostate gland, the seminal vesicles, the bulbourethral gland and the vas deferens push fluids into the prostatic urethra. [3]
