The Penis Anatomy We have
had many request to include some diagram of the penis anatomy. Of course
we like to oblige and we have manage to get some pictures from various
sites who own the rights to them, again thanks should go to
Penis-Health.
The
above diagram clearly illustrates the corpora cavernosa chambers which
will be expanded with the use of natural enlargement programs and penis
pills.
corona: The 'crown,' a ridge of flesh demarcating where the head of the
penis and the shaft join.
corpa cavernosa: The corpora cavernosa are the two spongy bodies
of erectile tissue on either side of the penis which become engorged
with blood from arteries in the penis, thus causing erection.
cowper's glands: The Cowper's glands secrete a small amount of pre-ejaculate fluid prior
to orgasm. This fluid neutralizes the acidity within the urethra itself.
ejaculatory ducts:
The path
through the seminal glands which semen travels during ejaculation.
epididymis: The
epididymis is a 'holding pen' where sperm produced by the seminiferous
tubules mature. The sperm wait here until ejaculation or nocturnal
emission.
foreskin, prepuce: A roll of skin which covers the head of the penis in uncircumsized men.
frenulum, frenum: A thin strip of flesh on the underside of the penis that connects the
shaft to the head.
glans: The glans is clearly visible in illustration (A) as the head of the
penis. The glans in uncircumcised men is usually covered by the prepuce.
The glans is highly sensitive, as is the corona, the ridge of flesh that
connects the glans to the shaft of the penis.
prostate gland: Also produces a fluid that makes up the semen.
The prostate gland also squeezes shut the urethral duct to the bladder,
thus preventing urine from mixing with the semen and disturbing the pH
balance required by sperm.
scrotum:
The
scrotum is a sac that hangs behind and below the penis, and contains the
testes, the male sexual glands. The scrotum's primary function is to
maintain the testes at approximately 34 C, the temperature at which the
testes most effectively produce sperm.
seminal vesicles:
The
seminal vesicles produce semen, a fluid that activates and protects the
sperm after it has left the penis during ejaculation
smemga:
A
substance with the texture of cheese secreted by glands on each side of
the frenulum in uncircumsized men.
testes, testicles: The male sexual glands, the two testes within
the scrotum produce sperm and testosterone. Within each testis is a
kilometer of ducts called the seminiferous tubules, the organs which
generate sperm. Each testicle produces nearly 150 million sperm every 24
hours.
urethra, meatus: The opening at the tip of the penis to allow the
passage of both urine and semen.
vas
deferens: The ducts leading from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles. These are
the ducts that are cut during the procedure known as vasectomy.
