The male reproductive system consists of several sex organs. These organs are located on the outside of the body and within the pelvis. In addition to providing a way to produce sperm, the sex organs also contribute to the process of reproduction. The male genital system includes the Testes, Epididymis, and Corpora cavernosa.
Epididymis
The epididymis is one of the male sexual organs, which is composed of two distinct regions. The initial segment is most active in the maturation of sperm while the cauda region stores sperm. Both regions are regulated by specific gene expressions, which differ in their functions.
In a recent publication, scientists have identified 12 miRNAs and two tsRNAs in the mouse epididymis. The findings suggest that both the caput and cauda epididymosomes contribute to epididymal sperm sRNA content. The sRNA cargo from the epididymis varies from region to region, and the differences between these regions have been shown to be related to sperm sRNA content.
Corpora cavernosa
The male sexual organs known as corpora cavernosa consist of two spongy cylinders that lie on the superior part of the penis. The proximal end of each of these cylinders is separate, with an ischial ramus. These cylinders then fuse together beneath the pubic ramus. The proximal end of each cylinder has a bulb that extends distally.
The male sexual organs are connected to one another by a deep vein, the cavernous vein, which originates from the corpora and empties into the internal iliac veins. The penis’s deep drainage system is composed of the bulbar, crural, and cavernous veins. Blood from the proximal part of the penis and the sinusoids drain directly into the cavernous veins on the periphery of the corpora cavernosa. The main cavernous vein runs underneath the cavernous artery and nerves.
Urethra
Symptoms of a hemorrhage in the urethra include burning, biting, and stinging pain. There may also be a sour smell to the urine. You may also experience pain in your fores and back, or you may experience a stitch in your penis.
Other symptoms include burning in the loins, or even soreness. These symptoms may be accompanied by dimming of vision and spasmodic jerking of the muscles. Some men may experience eructations and flatus.
Cremaster
The Cremaster male sexual organs are a layered, muscular structure composed of numerous fasciculi. They are continuous with the Transversus and Obliquus internus muscles and descend with the spermatic cord through the subcutaneous inguinal ring. Each loop is different in thickness and gradually increases in length until they emerge in the tunica vaginalis, where they are attached to the testis.
Vas deferentia
The vas deferens is one of the important male sexual organs. This paired muscular tube runs from the epididymis to the urethra. During ejaculation, sperm leaves the body through the vas deferens. During a vasectomy, the vas deferens is ligated to prevent sperm from leaving the body during intercourse. This helps prevent the sperm from leaving the body before fertilizing the egg.
The vas deferens is the tube that carries sperm out of the epididymis and into the ejaculatory ducts. It is also the conduit for seminal fluid, which moves from the epididymis to the urethra. Various conditions can affect the vas deferens. In some cases, it can cause infertility, and surgery to remove it is referred to as a vasectomy.
