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 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]
In males, it is perforated, about 2-3 cm below the pubic symphysis, by the urethra. [6] 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 ...
Compressor urethrae muscle in the female is sometimes included [3] Urethrovaginal sphincter in the female is sometimes included [3] other Membranous urethra in the male; proximal portion of urethra in the female; Bulbourethral gland (males). The Bartholin gland, the female counterpart, is in the superficial perineal pouch; Vagina (females)
The openings of the bulbourethral glands are also found here. [2] Some textbooks will subdivide the spongy urethra into two parts, the bulbous and pendulous urethra. The urethral lumen (interior) runs effectively parallel to the penis, except at the narrowest point, the external urethral meatus , where it is vertical.
The tubuli seminiferi recti (also known as the tubuli recti, tubulus rectus, or straight seminiferous tubules) are structures in the testicle connecting the convoluted region of the seminiferous tubules to the rete testis, although the tubuli recti have a different appearance distinguishing them from these two structures.
