Murine Prostate Micro-dissection and Surgical Castration
Published on: May 11, 2016
Abstract:
Prostatic apudomas are represented by well-, moderately- and poorly differentiated variants. Histologic differentiation determines various functional properties of tumor cells. Tumor cells of well-differentiated apudomas produce serotonin, less frequently calcitonin, poorly differentiated ones produce only ACTH. Apud cells of moderately differentiated tumors, besides their main function to synthesize biogenic amines and hormones (serotonin, ACTH) possess immunoreactivity to epithelial membrane antigen, carcinoembryonal antigen and prostatic specific antigen.

The perineum is a diamond-shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm, divided into an anterior urogenital triangle that contains the external genitals and a posterior anal triangle housing the anus. The urogenital...
Urethra
The anatomy of the urethra differs between males and females. In females, the urethra is short, measuring about 3–4 cm in length, and opens anterior to the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is longer and passes through the penis, serving dual purposes: expelling urine and ejaculating semen. The male urethra is...

Anatomy of the Penis
The glans penis, or the head, is the terminal part of the penis and houses the external urethral orifice, the exit point for urine and semen. Covered by the prepuce, or foreskin, the glans is noted for its sensitivity and plays a key role in sexual pleasure. The body of the...
