    • Testis: Male gonad responsible for sperm production and hormone secretion.
    • Prostate: Gland located below the bladder, encapsulating the urethra, playing a crucial role in seminal fluid production.
    • Seminiferous Tubules: Tissue within the testis where sperm cells are produced.
    • Flagellum: The hair-like tail of sperm cells aiding in mobility.
    • Vas Deferens: Duct transporting sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
    • Prepuce: Also known as the foreskin, covering the glans penis.
    • Bilateral Orchiectomy: Surgical procedure for male castration, involving the removal of both testes.
    • Balanitis: An inflammatory condition affecting the glans penis.
    • Syphilis: A sexually transmitted infection characterized by a primary lesion called a chancre.
    • Testosterone: An androgen hormone produced in the testis, responsible for male secondary sexual characteristics.
    • Interstitial Cells of the Testes: Cells located between seminiferous tubules that produce testosterone.

    Conditions and Procedures

    • Cryptorchism: Condition where one or both testicles remain undescended.
    • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Characterized by overgrowth of glandular tissue in the prostate, leading to urinary issues.
    • Seminoma: A type of testicular carcinoma, which is a cancer of the testes.
    • Vasectomy: A surgical procedure for male sterilization by cutting the vas deferens.
    • Scrotum: The pouch that contains and protects the testicles.
    • Hypospadias: A congenital defect where the urethra opens on the underside of the penis.
    • Parenchyma: Functional tissue of the testes essential for sperm production.
    • Anchorism: Congenital absence of a testicle.
    • Sperolytic Substance: A substance produced by the testes that affects sperm viability.
    • Orchiopexy: Surgical procedure to fix an undescended testicle.
    • Testicular Torsion: Twisting of the spermatic cord, causing pain and swelling in the testes.
    • Oligospermia: Condition characterized by low sperm count.
    • Spermatogenesis: The process through which sperm cells are formed.
    • Azoospermia: Absence of sperm in semen.
    • Epididymis: Coiled tube above each testis, responsible for carrying and storing sperm.

    Additional Terms and Concepts

    • Ejaculation: The process of expelling sperm from the urethra during orgasm.
    • Semen Analysis: A test conducted to assess male fertility by analyzing semen composition.
    • Gonorrhea: A sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, often presenting with urethritis.
    • Varicocele: Enlargement of veins within the scrotum often affecting fertility.
    • Carcinoma of the Prostate: Malignant tumor of the prostate gland, often detected through prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing.

    Surgical and Medical Terminology

    • Circumcision: Surgical removal of the foreskin (prepuce).
    • Hydrocele: Accumulation of clear fluid within the scrotum.
    • Impotence: The inability to achieve or maintain an erection.
    • Adenocarcinoma: Malignant tumor originating from glandular tissues, such as the prostate.

    Relevant Combining Forms and Suffixes

    • Oophor/o: Relating to the ovaries.
    • Colp/o: Pertaining to the vagina.
    • Balan/o: Related to the glans penis.
    • Salping/o: Associated with fallopian tubes.
