Medical Terminology

This comprehensive overview of the male reproductive system covers essential anatomy, including the testicles, scrotum, prostate gland, and associated structures such as the epididymis and vas deferens. It highlights key functions such as sperm production and transport, while also addressing common pathological conditions like cryptorchidism, hydrocele, and benign prostatic hypertrophy. The document also touches on male sterilization procedures, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and their implications for reproductive health. This information is vital for understanding men's health.

  3. Male Reproduction System • Primary function of the male reproductive system • Scrotum • Encloses, protects, supports the testicles • Testes • Glands that produce the sperms • Epididymis • Tube at upper part of each testicle

  4. Male Reproduction System • Glans penis • Sensitive region located at the tip of the penis • Penis • Male sex organ that transports sperm into female vagina • Vas deferens • tube leads from epididymis to ejaculatory duct in the prostate • Seminal vesicles • Glands located at base of urinary bladder • Opens into vas deferens as joins urethra

  5. Male Reproduction System • Ejaculatory duct • One of two final portions of seminal vesicles • Passes through prostate gland and enters urethra • Prostate gland • Posterior to bladder • Surrounds upper end of urethra where vas deferens enters urethra • Aid sperm motility

  6. Male Reproduction System • Sperm • Male gametes • Semen • Secretions from seminal vesicles and prostate gland • Nourishes the sperm

  7. Male Reproduction System Pathology

  8. Male Reproduction System • Cryptorchidism • Abnormal condition of hidden testicle • Undescended testes • Developmental defect in which one testicle tails to descend into scrotum

  9. Male Reproduction System • Hydrocele • Pertaining to water/hernia • Hernia filled with fluids in testicles • Oligospermia • Abnormal condition of few sperm • Low sperm count

  10. Male Reproduction System • Benign prostatic hypertrophy • BPH • Enlarged prostate

  11. Male Reproduction System • Sperm analysis • SA • Sperm count • Determines volume, count, shape, size and motility (ability to move)

  12. Male Reproduction System • Circumcision • Surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis

  13. Male Reproduction System • Orchidectomy • Surgical removal of the testicle • Sterilization • Procedure render individual (male or female) incapable of reproduction

  14. Male Reproduction System • Vasectomy • Surgical removal of the vas deferens • Male sterilization procedure in which portion of was deferens surgically removed • Prevents sperm from entering ejaculate duct but does not change volume of semen

  15. STDs

  16. STDs • Sexually transmitted diseases • Venereal diseases (VD) • Pertaining to transition by sexual contact

  17. STDs • Chlamydia • Highly contagious STD • Unless early treatment with antibodies, may cause sterility in both males and females

  18. STDs • Genital herpes • HSV-2 • Caused by herpes simplex virus • Highly contagious • Currently no cure and lesions may recur at any time

  19. STDs • Gonorrhea • Highly contagious STD • May be transmitted to child during birth • All newborns receive one drop of silver nitrate or penicillin in each eye immediately after birth • HIV • Human immunodeficiency virus

  20. STDs • Human papilloma virus • HPV or genital warts • Highly contagious • Increases risk of genital and cervical cancer • Syphilis • Highly contagious • Caused by spirochete
