Structure of the penis and other genital organs of a man

Sexual organs (male) are divided into external and internal. To the external one can include the scrotum and penis, and to the inner ones - what is hidden from the eye - the testes, appendages, spermatic cord and tubercle, glands (bulbar, urethral and prostate) and seminal vesicles. The structure of male organs is subordinated to their main function - the reproduction of offspring and the transfer of genetic information to the partner.

At all times, most attention was paid to the penis. The rest of the organs were undeservedly forgotten and remembered only on the occasion of the disease, but the symbol of masculinity - a member - was unequivocally the subject of interest for both the male and female half of society. Even the ancients worshiped a member as a deity, moreover, they conducted all sorts of rituals with him. And on the stone members deprived of innocence ...

The structure of the member for a long time was inaccessible for understanding. So, for example, the ancients believed that during an erection it is filled with air - now these guesses are completely debunked. Only with the development of anatomy in the Middle Ages under the fear of church punishment physicians began to study the human body, and with it - and the structure of the member.

The penis consists of the body, the head, the extremely flesh and the mouth of the urethra. The length of the body of the penis is six to ten centimeters at rest, and the girth is approximately six centimeters. The head of the penis is hidden under the foreskin, which protects it from mechanical damage. At the end of the head is the mouth of the urethra, from which sperm and urine are excreted. On such parts you can visually divide the penis. The internal structure of the term is much more complicated. The entire body of the penis consists of cavernous bodies. During an erection in the cavernous bodies, the blood pressure rises, which can become equal to the total blood pressure with particularly strong stress. By the structure of the body I recall cylinders surrounded by a protein membrane that pass on both sides of the penis. With their ends, they abut and attach to the bony bones, thus forming a root. Between the bodies passes the urethra, through which urine is transported outward and exits through the meatus (an opening at the head of the penis). The structure of the penis is so organized that the sperm and urine are not normally mixed - it is responsible for a special tubercle, which swells during intercourse and as if pressing the urethra.

In the scrotum, divided by an inner septum into two parts, there are testicles and spermatic cord. Eggs are responsible for the main functions - the production of spermatozoa and androgens. The peculiarity of the testicles is that their temperature does not correspond to the total body temperature - in the testicles it is two degrees lower. This "cooling effect" specifically ensures the safety of spermatozoa.

Appendages of the testicles are special organs that are regulated by androgens. They are responsible for the full cycle of spermatozoa, which lasts two weeks - it is during this time that spermatozoa reach the maturity at which they are able to fertilize the female sex cell. In order for spermatozoa to be transmitted to the egg, they mix with the secret of the spermatic cord, rich in nutrients. In this fluid, spermatozoa find energy that supports their metabolism, as well as facilitating their movement. All this activity is provided with blood supply. Arteries and veins that feed the testicle are enclosed in the spermatic cord.

Another important organ is the prostate gland. It is responsible for the volume of ejaculate, increasing it, for liquefaction of sperm, the resistance of spermatozoa to infections and their non-stickiness.

The structure of a member can have deviations from the norm. If a pathology is detected, it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible in order to preserve the further sexual and reproductive function of the man.
