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. [6] 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.
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]
This is the narrowest part of the urethra. It is located in the deep perineal pouch. The bulbourethral glands (Cowper's gland) are found posterior to this region but open in the spongy urethra. Pseudostratified columnar: Spongy urethra (or penile urethra) Runs along the length of the penis on its ventral (underneath) surface.
The Bartholin's glands (named after Caspar Bartholin the Younger; also called Bartholin glands or greater vestibular glands) are two pea-sized compound alveolar glands [2] located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina. [3] They secrete mucus to lubricate the vagina. [3] They are homologous to bulbourethral ...
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 ...
Dr. Watkins also reminds us that the best way to prevent respiratory infection is to get the flu, COVID-19, and RSV vaccines. “Don’t wait, the life you save can be your own.” “Don’t wait ...

The bulbourethral glands are present on either side of the membranous urethra and their ducts pierce the perineal membrane posterolateral to the urethra. The deep and dorsal artery of the penis arises from the internal pudendal artery and penetrates the perineal membrane to enter the corpora cavernosa in the crus of the penis.
