Each crus represents the tapering, posterior fourth of each corpora cavernosa penis; the two corpora cavernosa are situated alongside each other along the length of the body of penis while the two crura diverge laterally in the root of penis before attaching firmly onto either ischial ramus at their proximal end.
The male reproductive system is a series of organs located outside the body and around the pelvis region of a male that contribute towards the reproduction process. The primary direct function of the male reproductive system is to provide the male sperm for fertilization of the ovum. [3] The major reproductive organs of the male can be grouped ...
The main male sex organs are the penis and the scrotum, which contains the testicles that produce semen and sperm, which, as part of sexual intercourse, fertilize an ovum in the female's body; the fertilized ovum develops into a fetus, which is later born as an infant. The corresponding system in females is the female reproductive system.
In human anatomy, the penis (/ ˈ p iː n ɪ s /; pl.: penises or penes; from the Latin pēnis, initially "tail" [1]) is an external sex organ (intromittent organ) through which males urinate and ejaculate. Together with the testes and surrounding structures, the penis functions as part of the male reproductive system.
The ejaculatory ducts (ductus ejaculatorii) are paired structures in the male reproductive system. [1] Each ejaculatory duct is formed by the union of the vas deferens with the duct of the seminal vesicle. [2] They pass through the prostate, and open into the urethra above the seminal colliculus.
The male reproductive system contains two main divisions: the testicles where sperm are produced, and the penis where semen is ejaculated through the urethra. In humans, both of these organs are outside the abdominal cavity. Having the testicles outside the abdomen facilitates temperature regulation of the sperm, which require specific ...
