Medical Terms Chapter 7

Parimary male sex organs, paired, oval-shaped, and enclosed in a sac called the scrotum. The testes produce spermatozoa, (sperm cells) and the hormone testosterone.

The microscopic male germ cell, which, when united with the ovum, produces a zygote (fertilized egg) that with subsequent developement becomes an embryo.

The principle male sex hormone. Its cheif function is to stimulate the developement of male reproductive organs and sexondary sex chararteristics

Approsimately 900 coiled tubes within the testes in which spermatogenesis occurs.

Coiled duct atop each of the testes that provides for storage transit nad maturation of spermatozoa; continuous with the vas derens.

The duct carrying the sperm from the eipidiymis to the urethra, Ther spermatic cord encolses each vas deferns with nerves, lymphatics, arteries and veins. Tje urethra also connects with the urinary bladder and carries urine outside the body. A circular muscle constricts during inter course to prevent urinations

Two main clands located at the base of the bladder that open into the bas degerens the glands secrete a thick fluid which forms part of the semen

Sac suspends on both sides of and just behind the penis. The testes are enclosed in the scrotum

The inflamation of the glans penis ( tip of the penis )

Discharge from the tip of the penis of glans penis

(BPH) excessive developement pertaining to the prostate gland ( nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate)

State of hidden testes. (during fetal developement, testes are located in the abdominal area near hte kidneys. Before birth they move down into the scortal sac. Failure of the tests to descend before birth results in cryptorchidism or undescended testicles.

Inflamation of the epididymis

Inflammation of the epididymis and the testes

Inflammation of the testes

Inflammation of the prostate gland in the bladder (cyst/o = bladder)

(stone in the prostate gland)

Discharge from the prostate gland

Inflammation of the prostate and the seminal vesicels (two main glands at th base of the bladdar that open in the vas deferens).

the inability of the male to attain or maintain an erection sufficient to perform sexual intercourse ( formerly called impotence)

Scrotal swelling caused by a collection of fluid

a tightness of prepuse (forskin of the penis) that prevents its retraction over the glans penis. it mat be congenital or a result of balanitits (inflammation of the glans penis) circumcision is the usual treatment.

persistent abnormal erection of the penis accompanied by pain and tenderness.

Cancer of the prostate gland

Cancer of the testicles

Twisting of the spermatic cord causing decreased blood flow to the testis; occurs most often during puberty and often presents with a sudden onset of sever testicular or scortal pain. Because of the lack of blood flow to the testis, it is often considered a surgical emergency.

Enlarged veins of the spermatic cord.

surgical repair of teh glans penis

excision of an epididymis

excision of the testes o testicles (castration)

Surgical fixation of the testicles (perform to bring undescended testicles into the scrotum) Pexy=fixation

Incision into the prostate and bladder

Incision into the prostate gland to remove a stone

Excision of the prostate and the seminal vesicle (two main glands at the base of the penis)

Excision of a duct (partial excision of the vas deferens bilaterally resulting in male sterilization

Making in artificial opening between ducts. ( The severed ends of the vas deferens are reconnected in an attemt to restore fertility in men who had vasectomy)

Excision of the seminal vesicles

surgical removal of the prepuce

Surgical removal of a hydrocele

Escision of the prostate gland with its capsule, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, and seomtimes pelvic lymph nodes.

Excision of the prostate galnd through an abdominal incision make above the pubic bone and through an incision in the bladder.

A surgical procedure that widens the urethra by making a few small incisions in the bladder neck and the prostate gland. NO prostate tissue is removed. TUIP may be used instead of TURP when the prostate gland is less enlarged.

A treatment that eliminates excess tissue present in benign prostatic hyperplasia by using heat generated by microwave.

Successive pieces of the prostate gland tissue are resected by using resectoscope inserted through the urethra. The capsule is left intact; usually performed when the enlarged prostate gland interferes with urination

An ultrasound procedure used to diagnose prostate cancer.

A blood test that measures the level of porstate-specific antigen in the blood. Elevated test results may indicate the presence of prostate cancer of excess prostate tissue

A physical examination in which the physician inserts a finger into the rectum and feels the size and shape of the prostate for BPH

Introduction of semen into the vagina by artificial menas

A sexually transmitted disease, sometimes referred to as a silent STD because many people are not aware they have the disease. Symptons that occur when the disease becomes serious are painful unrination and descharge from the penis in males and genital intching, vaginal discharge and bleeding in females. cause by C. trachomatis
