,We know from experience that studying medicine or any other health-related degree
can be stressful.
(we are a team of doctor, so we›ve been there and done that!) Now we want to
pay it forward by creating the most comprehensive educational resource for the next
generation of medical students).
Our goal is not to make a profit; rather, we want to cover our expenses, which is why
our notes and resources are so inexpensive!
Here are jus a few hings you need o know o ge he mos ou of your noes:
1. Your notes are yours for life! We do not charge any recurring subscriptions or

permanent OFFLINE access. Once saved you can transfer your file/s to ONE additional
personal/mobile device (eg. your ipad/tablet) without the need to re-download your
files.
,REVIEW OF MALE UROGENITAL
ANATOMY
, REVIEW OF MALE UROGENITAL ANATOMY
Normal Male Reproductive Anatomy:
- Ducts – (receive/transport gametes):
o 1. Epididymis – (5% of ejaculate)
o 2. Ductus (vas) Deferens
o 3. Urethra - (Prostatic à Membranous à Spongy (penile) à External Orifice)
- Penis:
o 3 Sections – Root, Body & Glans Penis.
o Corona – Neck sulcus
o Erectile Tissues:
§ 2x Corpus Cavernosum – Central Arteries
§ 1x Corpus Spongiosum – Central Urethra
o Tunica Albuginia – Fibrous capsule encasing the Testis & Penis (NB:
Does NOT encase the Epididymus)
o Urethra – Transitional Epithelium
o Prepuce (foreskin)
,- Testicles:
o Testes - Gonads (produce gametes)
§ Testis (Albuginea of testes)
• Seminiferous tubules – sperm production
• Leydig Cells – testosterone production
§ Epididymis - Highly coiled tubules.
o Spermatic Cord – Spermatic Artery, Vein & Vas-Deferens (+ Lymphatics).
o Tunica Vaginalis – Remnants of the foetal peritoneum dragged into the
scrotum by descending
testes.
§ Obliterated Processus Vaginalis – The obliterated peritoneal remnants
from descending of
the testes. NB: If not fully obliterated, can à Indirect Inguinal Hernias.
o Tunica Albuginia – Fibrous capsule encasing the Testis & Penis (NB: Does
NOT encase theEpididymus)
o Thermoregulation:
§ Why descended? – Spermatogenesis requires a lower temperature than
core temperature.
§ Cremaster Muscle: Lifts testicles closer to body when cold.
( t h e r m o re g u l a ti o n )
§ Dartos Muscle: Increases/decreases surface area of the scrotum
, (thermoregulation)
- Pampiniform Plexus: Network of blood vessels
- Accessory Glands:
o Seminal vesicles - (60% of ejaculate) – Reduces Acidity of Semen
o Prostate gland - (30% of ejaculate) - Helps activate sperm & keep it viable
o Bulbourethral glands – (5% of ejaculate) - Neutralises traces of urine in
urethra.
, - The Prostate Gland:
o Anatomy:
§ 5 lobes (2 Laterals, Anterior, Median & Posterior)
§ Inferior to Bladder, Posterior to Penis
§ Periurethral (Encases Urethra)
§ Also encases Ejaculatory Ducts from Seminal Vesicles
o Function:
§ Adds bulk to Semen
§ Acid phosphatase - Proteolytic Enzyme - Maintains liquidity of prostate
§ Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) – Proteolytic Enzyme - Maintains liquidity of
prostate.
§ Hormone responsive - Androgens
o Normal Histology:
§ Fibro-Muscular Organ – Plenty of Smooth Muscle Fibres
§ Glands Normally have a Double Layer Epithelium (NB: Prost.Ca. is a Single
Layer Epithel.)
