THE GENERATIVE ORGANS.
1. The reproductive organs in man are the penis and testicles and their appendages.
2. The penis deposits the seminal life germ of the male.
3. In the accompanying illustration all the parts are named.
4. URETHRA.—The urethra performs the important mission of emptying the bladder, and semen is propelled along through it by little layers of muscles on each side meeting above and below.
5. PROSTATE GLAND.—The prostate gland is located just before the bladder.
6. THE PENAL GLAND.—The penal gland, located at the end of the penis, becomes unduly enlarged by excessive action and has the consistency of India rubber. It is always enlarged by erection. It is this gland at the end that draws the semen forward.
