  2. Seminal vesicles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seminal_vesicles

    The tissue of the seminal vesicles is full of glands, spaced irregularly. [8] As well as glands, the seminal vesicles contain smooth muscle and connective tissue. [8] This fibrous and muscular tissue surrounds the glands, helping to expel their contents. [3] The outer surface of the glands is covered in peritoneum. [3]

  3. Human penis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_penis

    Fluids are added by the seminal vesicles and the vasa deferentia turn into the ejaculatory ducts, which join the urethra inside the prostate. The prostate, as well as the bulbourethral glands, add further secretions (including pre-ejaculate), and the semen is expelled through the penis. Ejaculation has two phases: emission and ejaculation proper.

  4. Urology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urology

    Organs under the domain of urology include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs (testes, epididymides, vasa deferentia, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis). The urinary and reproductive tracts are closely linked, and disorders of one often affect the other.

  5. Semen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen

    The seminal vesicles produce a yellowish viscous fluid rich in fructose and other substances that makes up about 70% of human semen. [5] The prostatic secretion, influenced by dihydrotestosterone, is a whitish (sometimes clear), thin fluid containing proteolytic enzymes, citric acid, acid phosphatase and lipids. [ 5 ]

  6. Vas deferens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vas_deferens

    The vas deferens ends with an opening into the ejaculatory duct at a point where the duct of the seminal vesicle also joins the ejaculatory duct. [1] The vas deferens is a partially coiled tube which exits the abdominal cavity through the inguinal canal .

  7. Semen analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen_analysis

    Absence of fructose may indicate a problem with the seminal vesicles. The semen fructose test checks for the presence of fructose in the seminal fluid. Fructose is normally present in the semen, as it is secreted by the seminal vesicles. The absence of fructose indicates ejaculatory duct obstruction or other pathology. [5]

  8. Prostatic utricle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostatic_utricle

    The prostatic utricle (Latin for "small pouch of the prostate") is a small indentation in the prostatic urethra, at the apex of the urethral crest, on the seminal colliculus (verumontanum), laterally flanked by openings of the ejaculatory ducts.

  9. Male infertility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_infertility

    TRUS plays a key role in assessing azoospermia caused by obstruction, and detecting distal CBAVD or anomalies related to obstruction of the ejaculatory duct, such as abnormalities within the duct itself, a median cyst of the prostate (indicating a need for cyst aspiration), or an impairment of the seminal vesicles to become enlarged or emptied.
