Study Notes
Session Learning Objectives
- Students should accurately summarize the male reproductive system, including glands for secretion, gonads for gamete production, and ducts for transport.
- Students should describe the peritoneal relationships of the male reproductive organs.
- Students should describe the anatomy of the testis, including functions, external and internal features, arterial supply, venous & lymphatic drainage, and innervation.
- Students should describe the anatomy of the epididymis, including functions, structural features, arterial supply, venous & lymphatic drainage, and innervation.
- Students should describe the anatomy of the ductus deferens, including functions, structural features, course, and organ relationships.
- Students should describe the anatomy of the seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts.
- Students should describe the anatomy of the prostate gland, including functions, structural features, relationships, and zones.
- Students should describe the arterial supply, venous & lymphatic drainage, and innervation of the prostate gland.
- Students should describe the anatomy of the bladder and urethra, including structural features, relationships to other structures, arterial supply, venous & lymphatic drainage, and innervation.
