Penis Anatomy

We live in an extremely complicated world,

which challenges us every moment and this reflects to our emotional health. May be the most sensitive area of our modern psychology - that`s our sexuality. Most of the men are a little bit “touchy” on this question. That`s why in this article we introduce you some basic information about the male penis anatomy. When you make your penis anatomy familiar, it would be easier for you to interpret some symptoms, to understand how it works and even solve your problems.

The penis anatomy is complex but we`ll try to explain it in simple words. On the top of your penis is the “corona” or “crown”. It`s a ridge of flesh demarcating where the head of the penis and the shaft join. The head (the glans) itself in uncircumcised men is usually covered by the prepuce and it`s highly sensitive. Essentially your penis is composed of three main components - two large cylinders on the top (the Corpora Cavernosa) and one smaller cylinder on the bottom (the Corpus Spongisum). They are formed of sponge-like vascular tissue. When you have an erection the bigger cylinders, which are situated on either side of the penis are filled with blood. It is kept in several valves and that`s how the penis is maintained erected during the sexual act. During the sexual stimulation the arteries supplying the penis with blood dilate and large amounts of blood rush into the erectile tissue. The blood is trapped because the vessels draining the penis become compressed. The penis stays this way until ejaculation or until the man is no longer stimulated. The third cylinder is the urethra - a tube that carries the urine and the ejaculate. The male penis contains also cowper`s gland and ejaculatory ducts. The cowper`s glands secrete a small amount of pre-ejaculate fluid prior to orgasm. This fluid neutralizes the acidity within the urethra itself. The ejaculatory ducts are the paths through the seminal glands wchich semen travels during the ejaculation. Then is the epididymis, which lies on and around each testicle. It functions in the transport, storage and maturation of sperm cells originating from the testicle. The sperm wait there until ejaculation or nocturnal emission. The prostate gland also produces an enzyme that makes up the semen. It also squeezes shut the urethral duct to the bladder, thus preventing urine from mixing with the semen and disturbing the pH balance required by the sperm. The tubules which carry the produced sperm to the prostate are called vas deferens. Another important part of the male penis anatomy - these are the scrotum, the seminal vesicles and of course the testicles (testes). 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. The seminal vesicles produce semen, a fluid that activates and protects the sperm after it has left the penis during ejaculation. And finally the testes are within the scrotum and there they produce sperm and testosterone. Within each testis there is a kilometer of ducts, called the seminiferous tubules, the organs which generate sperm. Each testicle produces near 150 million sperm every 24 hours.

Obviously the erection is a complicated process, it depends basic on your physical health but it also requires some “extra” factors. The exact mechanism by which erection occurs is not fully discovered but we know that the neural input from the brain is extremely important (the nervous system activates a rapid increase in blood flow. The vascular muscle in the spongy area becomes fulfilled with blood and the outflow of blood is cut off). Indisputably in order to get this neural input you have to make the first step. That`s the feeling of self-confidence which can be disturbed by your “not enough” penis size. See the medical method that effects male penis anatomy in a safety way and improves your penis size.
