MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

EMBRYOLOGY OF MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

During sexual differentiation in males
Gubernaculum is attached to
During fetal life, development of testis takes place in
relation with
Testis in iliac fossa
Testis in deep inguinal ring
Testes descend to inguinal canal at
th
At the end of 8 month, testes descent into
After what age further descent of testis wont occur
Genital swelling in male develop into
Scrotum is analogous to
Epididymis is derived from
Hydatid of Morgagni
Sweyer syndrome

Primitive gonads differentiate into testis due to

presence of SRY gene
Caudal end
Retroperitoneal near dorsal wall, Processus vaginalis
3rd month
Till 7th month
th
7 month
Scrotum
4 months
Scrotum
Labia majora
Wolfian duct
Remnants of Mullerian duct
Bilateral dysgenesis of testis

ANATOMY OF MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

Widest and most dilatable part of male urethra
Narrowest part of male urethra
Narrowest and least dilatable part of male urethra
Shortest part of male urethra
Cowpers glands are found in
Cowper gland
Prostatic urethra

NOT true about prostatic urethra

Relations of urethral crest
NOT a relation of urethral crest
Opening of ejaculatory duct are located on
Prostatic utricle
Elevation at site of prostatic utricle is formed due to
Verumontanum
Lymphatics from spongy urethra drain into
Contents of spermatic cord

NOT a content of spermatic cord

Prostatic urethra
External urethral orifice
Membranous urethra (if external urethral orifice is not
among the options
Membranous
Membranous part of urethra
Bulbourethral gland
Crescentric (semilunar) shape on cross section,
Presence of mucus elevation verumontanum, Opening
of prostatic ducts, Urethral crest on posterior wall,
Widest and most dilatable part, CONCAVE ANTERIORLY,
Lies closer to anterior surface of prostate, Receives
prostatic tubules along its posterior wall
Trapezoid in cross section
Opening of ejaculatory duct, Prostatic utricle, Prostatic
sinus
Colliculus seminalis
Either side of urethral crest
Develops from paramesonephric ducts or urogenital
sinus, homologous to uterus or vagina in females
Glands
Distal landmark for prostate resection, proximal limit of
external sphincter
Deep inguinal nodes
Pampiniform plexus, Genital branch of genitofemoral
nerve, Cremasteric arteries, Sympathetic plexus, Vas
deferens
Ilioinguinal nerve, Poupart ligament
