Male Reproductive System Parts Ejaculatory Duct: Duct through which semen enters the urethra. Seminiferous Tubules are coiled structures within the testes where sperm is produced. Glans Penis: Defined by combining form balan/o, referring to the sensitive, bulbous end of the penis. Scrotum: the sac that houses the testes. Semen: A mixture of sperm and seminal fluid produced by the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral glands. Sperm: Male reproductive cells produced in the testes. Testis: Located in the scrotum; produces sperm and secretes testosterone. Epididymis: Storage site for sperm before ejaculation; located on top of the testes. Prepuce: Typically refers to the foreskin covering the glans penis. Prostate Produces alkaline fluid to protect sperm against vaginal acidity. Seminal Vesicle: It provides nutrients and produces about 60% of seminal fluid. Urethra: Tube through which urine and semen exit the body. Ejaculatory Duct: Duct through which semen enters the urethra (same as “a”). Vas Deferens: Transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. 2. Combining Forms a-c. Orch/o, Orchi/o, Orchid/o:Refers to the testis (plural: testes). d. Balan/o Refers to the glans penis. e. Prostat/o:Refers to the prostate gland. f-g. Spermat/o, Sperm/o: Refers to spermatozoa (sperm cells). h. Andr/o: Refers to males or male characteristics. Gon/o:Refers to gonads (sex glands). j. Olig/o:Refers to “few” or “scanty,” as in oligospermia (low sperm count). k. Varic/o: Refers to dilated veins, as in varicocele (swollen veins in the scrotum). l. Vas/o: Refers to vessel or duct, especially the vas deferens. m. Vesicul/o: Refers to the seminal vesicle. 3. SuNixes and Prefixes -cide: Means “to kill,” often used in terms like spermicide. -ism: Means “condition of,” as in cryptorchidism (condition of hidden testes). -spadias: Refers to “slit” or “fissure,” as in hypospadias (abnormal urethral opening). Brachy-: Means “short,” as in brachytherapy (short-distance radiation). Epi-: Means “upon” or “above,” as in epididymis (structure upon the testes). 4. Conditions/Issues Oligospermia: Low sperm production. Genital Warts: Viral infection caused by HPV, resulting in warts on the genital area. Prostatic Carcinoma: Cancer of the prostate gland. Hypospadias: Urethra opens on the underside of the penis. Gynecomastia: Refers to the enlargement of male breast tissue. Phimosis: Refers to a tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back. Cryptorchidism: Condition of hidden or undescended testes. Balanitis: Inflammation of the glans penis. 5. Diseases/Symptoms Chlamydia: “Silent disease” due to often being asymptomatic; treated with antibiotics. Trichomonas: Refers to a sexually transmitted infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Hypogonadism: Condition of deficient hormone production by the sex glands. Priapism: Refers to prolonged and painful erection. Anorchism: Refers to the absence of one or both testes. Epididymitis: Inflammation of the epididymis. Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum. Hydrocele: Fluid accumulation in the scrotum. Testicular Torsion: Twisting of the spermatic cord, causes reduced blood flow. Syphilis: Bacterial STI causing sores and systemic infection. Vesiculitis: Inflammation of the seminal vesicles.  Genital Herpes: Viral infection causing painful blisters in the genital area. Gonorrhea: Bacterial STI causing white discharge (leukorrhea); treated with antibiotics. Sterility: Inability to produce oYspring. 6. Tests/Procedures Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA): Blood test indicating prostate issues, including cancer. Orchiopexy: Surgical fixation of an undescended testicle. Vasovasostomy: Surgical reversal of a vasectomy. Urethroplasty: Not mentioned. Refers to surgical repair of the urethra. Semen Analysis: Evaluates sperm quantity and quality. Digital Rectal Examination: Palpation of the prostate through the rectum. Circumcision: Removal of the foreskin (prepuce). h-i. Orchiopexy & Castration: Surgical fixation of testes and removal of the testes, respectively. Brachytherapy: Radiation therapy using radioactive seeds. Radical Prostatectomy: Complete removal of the prostate gland. Bilateral Vasectomy: Cutting and tying of both vas deferens for sterilization. 7. Imaging Procedures Scrotal Ultrasound: Typically used to evaluate the scrotum. Transrectal Ultrasound: An ultrasound probe is inserted into the rectum to evaluate the prostate. 8. Abbreviations STI: Sexually Transmitted Infection HPV: Human Papillomavirus PSA: Prostate-Specific Antigen EBRT:. External Beam Radiation Therapy. BNO. Refers to Bladder Neck Obstruction. 9. Drugs Androgens: Hormones that stimulate male sex characteristics. Antivirals: Medications to treat viral infections like genital herpes. Anti-Impotence: Medications that treat erectile dysfunction.  Male Reproductive System Study Guide Define and Understand the Following Parts of the Male Reproductive System a. Ejaculatory duct b.
