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 main male sex organs are the penis and the scrotum, which contains the testicles that produce semen and sperm, which, as part of sexual ...
Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] 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 prostate ( / ˈprɒs.teɪt /) [ 1] is both an accessory gland of the male reproductive system and a muscle-driven mechanical switch between urination and ejaculation. It is found in all male mammals. [ 2] It differs between species anatomically, chemically, and physiologically. Anatomically, the prostate is found below the bladder, with the ...
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland below the bladder, above the penis, and in front of the rectum. Its primary function is to create prostate fluid, which is a component of semen. But prostate ...
Docking (the insertion of one man's penis into another man's foreskin) is also practiced. Manual sex is another non-penetrative sex act that can occur between men. This includes handjobs, which is the use of one's hands to stimulate someone else's penis or scrotum, and anal fingering, which is the use of one's fingers to stimulate someone's anus.
In human anatomy, the penis ( / ˈpiːnɪs /; pl.: penises or penes; from the Latin pēnis, initially "tail" [ 1]) is an external male sex organ ( intromittent organ) that serves as a passage for excretion of urine and ejaculation of semen. The main parts are the root, body, the epithelium of the penis including the shaft skin, and the foreskin ...
The prostatic urethra, the widest and most dilatable part of the urethra canal, is about 3 cm long.. It runs almost vertically through the prostate from its base to its apex, lying nearer its anterior than its posterior surface; the form of the canal is spindle-shaped, being wider in the middle than at either extremity, and narrowest below, where it joins the membranous portion.
The anatomy of the human urinary system differs between males and females at the level of the urinary bladder. In males, the urethra begins at the internal urethral orifice in the trigone of the bladder, continues through the external urethral orifice, and then becomes the prostatic, membranous, bulbar, and penile urethra.
