NSG 3315 Lecture Notes - Lecture 27: Necrosis, Vasodilation, Spermatic Cord
Document Summary
Made up of testes and genital ducts (epididymus, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts) Development of male genitalia in the embryo and descent of testes in the fetus. Developmental and maintenance of primary and secondary sex characteristics. Erection - vasodilation fills spongy tissue with blood. Mainly parasymptomatic nervous system, autonomic system, somatic nervous system, and vascular system. Balantitis - acute or chronic in ammation of glands in tip of penis. Balanoposthitis - in ammation of glands and prepuce (foreskin) Tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back so cleaning is a issue. Peyronie disease - male develops ber plaques on tissue that covers the corpus cavernosum. Starts as lesion, and highly curable if treated early. Priapism - prolonged erection that lasts long that 4-6 hours. Emergency because blood loss is cut off > ischemia > necrosis. Descent into scrotum through inguinal canal (supposed to close after - if doesn"t close hernia can occur)
