They secrete fluid into the urethra ejaculation - ejection of sperm and fluid from the male urethra ejactulatory duct - tube through which semen enters the male urethra epidiymis (plural: epididymides) - One of a pair of long, tightly coiled tubes on top of each testis. It carries sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the vas deferens erectile dysfunction - inability of an adult male to achieve an erection; impotence fraternal twins - two infants resulting from fertilization of two separate ova by two separate sperm cells identical twins - two infants resulting from division of one fertilized egg into two distinct embryos glans penis - sensitive tip of the penis; comparable to the clitoris in the female penis - male external organ of reproduction perineum - external region between the anus and scrotum in the male prepuce - foreskin prostate gland - exocrine gland at the base of the male urinary bladder which secretes fluid that contributes to semen during ejaculation scrotum - external sac that contains the testis semen - spermatozoa and seminal fluid discharged from the urethra during ejaculation seminal vesicles - paired sac-like exocrine glands that secrete fluid into the vas deferens spermatozoon (plural: spermatozoa) - sperm cell sterilization - procedure that removes a person's ability to produce or release reproductive cells testis (plural: testes) - male gonad (testicle) that produces spermatozoa and the hormone testosterone testosterone - hormone excreted by the interstitial tissue of the testis; responsible for the male sex characteristics vas deferens (also called ductus deferens) - narrow tubes carrying sperm from the epididymis towards the urethra andr/o - male balan/o - glans penis cry/o - cold crypt/o - hidden epididym/o - epididymis gon/o - seed Chlamydia - bacterial invasion of the urethra and reproductive tract Gonorrhea - inflammation of the genital tract mucosa caused by infection with berry-shaped bacteria what type of discharge is present with gonorrhea? - purulent (pus filled) discharge herpes genitalis - infection of skin and genital mucosa, caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) human papillomavirus (HPV) - infection of the skin and mucous membranes in the anogenital region by the human papillomavirus What can some types of HPV cause? - genital warts Syphilis - chronic STD caused by a spirochete (spiral-shaped bacterium) PSA test - measurement of levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood semen analysis - microscopic examination of ejaculated fluid What are 2 reasons a semen analysis is done? - 1. to look at sperm and determine if they are fully mobile, developed, and plentiful (part of fertility treatment) 2. after a male has had a vasectomy to ensure there are no sperm present castration - surgical excision of testicles or ovaries circumcision - surgical procedure to remove the prepuce of the penis TURP - transurethral resection of the prostate; excision of benign prostatic hyperplasia using a resectoscope through the urethra vasectomy - bilateral surgical removal of a part of the vas deferens ligation - in general, means tying and binding off BPH - benign prostatic hyperplasia DRE - digital rectal examination ED - erectile dysfunction GU - genitourinary HPV - human papillomavirus HSV - herpes simplex virus PID - pelvic inflammatory disease PIN - prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia; a precursor of prostate cancer PSA - prostate-specific antigen STD - sexually transmitted disease STI - sexually transmitted infection
