Genital organs names. Human reproductive system. In English-speaking countries, the penis is commonly called a “snake.”

Fetishism - sexual deviation, characterized by sexual attraction to various animate and inanimate objects, body parts and elements of clothing.

Pheromones - biologically active substances that act as a form of chemical bond between two individuals of the same species. They are secreted by special glands located directly in the skin of an animal, as well as a person. Pheromones act on a subconscious level, causing sexual attraction.

Frictions - pendulum-like reciprocating movements, most often performed by the penis in the vagina during sexual intercourse. The average number of frictions per minute of sexual intercourse in a healthy man is 25-30 frictions.

Frotteurism - a distorted form of sexual desire, in which sexual arousal and sexual satisfaction are achieved by friction against the body of a person of the opposite sex. Frotteurism usually occurs in crowded places. Frotters - those who practice frotteurism are colloquially called "transport pressers."

Geisha balls - vaginal balls for training the muscular walls of the vagina (including after childbirth). They are made of latex, medical rubber, plastic or metal, can have a shifted center of gravity, and have a variety of convexities and ribs.

Shaving - shaving hair in the genital area, less often in the axillary and anal areas in the presence or direct participation of a sexual partner. Shaving is often accompanied by manual and oral sexual caresses. May be a manifestation of fetishism. From a psychoanalytic point of view, clean-shaven genitals are a desire for childhood, to return to some childhood experiences. In these cases, the absence of hair becomes a stimulating factor.

Exhibitionism - achieving sexual satisfaction by demonstrating to persons of the opposite sex outside the situation of sexual intimacy.

Erection, morning erection - increase in volume and hardening of the penis as a result of filling the cavities of the cavernous bodies with blood. During sleep, a healthy man has an erection approximately every 90 minutes. The morning erection is usually the last of the night ones.

Erogenous zones (primary and secondary) - particularly sensitive places on the body, when touched, sexual arousal occurs. In men and women, the primary erogenous zones, penetrated by a mass of nerve endings, are approximately the same. Secondary erogenous zones that can be formed by a partner independently. If you do the same thing every time after an orgasm has just happened (for example, kiss him on the neck, or stroke his shoulder), after a while a relationship will form between these sensations. That is, every time “that same action” is repeated, the thought of sex will immediately arise in the man’s head.

Cuff effect - adaptation of the vagina to the male genital organ in front. The orgasmic cuff is formed in the outer third of the vagina, almost at the entrance, and occurs due to the strong blood flow to the venous plexus of the vagina in this area and to the bulb of the vestibule: the entrance to the vagina and the outer third swell and narrow strongly, tightly enveloping the penis. The cuff is a kind of signal that the woman’s genital organs are getting ready to form an orgasm. It also prevents sperm from leaking out.

Ejaculation - ejaculation, the release of seminal fluid from the urethra in men, usually accompanied by orgasm. Normal ejaculation usually results in a release of 1.5 to 5 ml. seed. During his life, the average man produces about 15 liters of sperm.

Whatever you call the genitals, that’s how they… crawl. Or they will take off. Or they'll crow. You will be surprised to hear names of genital organs on different ends of the Earth!

In Spain, the vagina is called a "rabbit"

It would be more logical to call Spanish male genitals that way, you will agree. The temperamental rabbit dived into the rabbit hole...

"Turtle's Head" - in China

The not-so-proud Chinese call their penis “turtle head.” I wonder why?

"Karasik" - in Italy

For some reason, Italians associate the male genital organ with fish... While the rest of the world is sure: herring is a purely female topic...

In English-speaking countries, the penis is commonly called a “snake.”

Nothing particularly surprising. People in Russia are familiar with “one-eyed” too.

Or "cockerel"

Here the discrepancy in meanings is obvious...

"Camel's toe" of English girls and women

The names of genital organs in different countries of the world will greatly surprise you! The French call the penis "the hand of a child." With a pen? A child?!

"Wallet" is another name for a vagina that can be heard in England

By the way, they don’t give you an empty wallet!

In Nicaragua, female organs are called "bug"

Let’s imagine a harmless ladybug in “this place”. Although, they are unlikely to be found in Nicaragua.

"Chick" is a Polish term for female genitalia

The Italians just can't stop. Another name for the penis is “Pea”

The main thing is that it’s not a pod!

The female womb reminds Italians of a fig...

...and the Indians - a cup...

...and the residents of Mexico are generally monkeys

Hot Turks call a penis a “cold weapon”

And the Poles are “the head of the needle”

Pigeon - bird of peace and Spanish penises

If you suddenly want romance and tenderness, fly to Spain. “Dove” is how they affectionately call the male penis.

Male and female bodies are similar in many ways; their main difference is the genitals, which, in fact, distinguish a boy from a girl immediately after their birth.

The reproductive system is also called reproductive, which means “reproducing offspring,” because the main task of the human genital organs is to produce healthy children.

The final maturation of the genital organs and glands occurs at approximately 18 years of age.

Female reproductive system

Women's genital organs are divided into external (vulva) and internal. The external genitalia include the pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and hymen. To the internal ones - the vagina, uterus, ovaries and fallopian (uterine) tubes.

Female pelvic organs in longitudinal section

The uterus looks like a large hollow shell. It is in it that the growth and development of the fetus - the unborn child - occurs. The ovaries produce female sex hormones. There, in the ovaries, in special vesicles called follicles, female cells - eggs - mature.

When the follicle reaches the desired size, it bursts, the egg is released and enters the fallopian tube. At this time, the egg can meet with the male reproductive cell - the sperm, and then fertilization will occur.

If the meeting does not occur, the unfertilized egg enters the uterus and dies there. After this, the dead egg and the upper layer of the uterine lining, along with blood, are removed from the woman’s body.

This process occurs monthly and is called menstruation. Menstruation begins at 11-15 years of age, and the time of its onset is genetically determined.

The mammary glands are located in the female breast. When a baby is born, they begin to produce milk needed to feed the baby. Breast milk contains all the essential nutrients. Men also have mammary glands, but they are not developed.

Male reproductive system

The male external genitalia are the penis or penis and the scrotum, which contains the testicles. The internal genital organs include the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, the testicles themselves and their appendages.

The penis consists of a special elastic spongy tissue (corpus cavernosum) that can fill with blood, causing the organ to increase in size. This state is called an erection, it is necessary for sexual intercourse.

It is no coincidence that the testicles are located in the scrotum - sperm need a temperature two degrees lower than body temperature. At the age of 10, a boy’s testicle weighs 1 g, at 14-16 years old it weighs about 7 g, and in an adult man it weighs 25-30 g.

Male sex hormones are produced in the testicles, and male reproductive cells, spermatozoa, also begin to develop. Sperm maturation occurs in the epididymis.

The germ cells then enter the seminal vesicles, where they mix with seminal fluid, which supports their ability to fertilize. The resulting mixture is called sperm.

The sperm consists of a head, a middle part and a tail, with the help of which it moves. This form allows him to move quickly.

Seminal fluid in the body is produced by the prostate gland, or prostate. From there, during sexual intercourse, sperm travels through the vas deferens into the urethra and then into the woman’s vagina.

A special muscular device resembling a valve, the sphincter, prevents urine and sperm from being in the urethra at the same time.

Out of a million sperm, only one penetrates the egg and fertilizes it. The rest die.

The human reproductive system is very complex. We have considered only the most basic nuances of its work.

The “totality” of male genital organs serves two purposes: removal of urine from the body, and, most importantly, the creation and delivery of sperm to the address. This is what determines the structure of the external genital organs, such as the penis and scrotum, which are responsible for the safety and comfortable conditions for the maturation of sperm in the testicles (rightly called the main organ in the male reproductive system).

Of course, For most men, what lies on the surface is much more interesting, namely, the external genital organs, because it is the penis that is a secret object of pride or grief, rather than obscure glands or testicles hidden from view. What are these undoubtedly famous male organs?

Penis

Penis(penis or phallus - this is what the male external genital organ is called in medicine and literature) is the external organ of a man intended for sexual intercourse, the purpose of which is the release of seminal fluid and the removal of urine from the bladder.

On average, according to anatomical statistics, the size of the external male genital organ (member) in a calm state ranges from 4 to 8 centimeters, increasing by 2-4 times when excited.

In the anatomy of the penis, one should distinguish:

1. Root(base).
2. Body(trunk), which is a cavernous body, similar from the inside to a sponge with many internal voids designed to quickly fill with blood during preparation for intercourse.
3. head penis, covering the ends of the shaft and covered with delicate foreskin - the thinnest skin. In the central upper part of the head there is an opening, the so-called urethra, through which sperm and urine are discharged. Also, the head, due to the huge number of nerve endings, is very sensitive to any touch, which plays an important role in arousing men.

In an excited state, the penis increases in volume due to filling with blood and acquires density and elasticity. A long-term erection is possible due to the fact that the root of the penis consists of special, quite powerful muscles that can block the movement of blood flow in a couple of seconds.

After the end of the act they relax gently the penis falls off and decreases in size. The head differs from the excited shaft in its softness and tenderness, which allows you to avoid injury to the vagina even during very active sex.

Speaking of injuries, pure injuries are many times more common than female ones, due to the fact that men expose themselves to more danger. can lead to partial or complete removal of the male organ, or even the death of the man, so you need to be careful.

During sexual intercourse, two types of fluid are released:

1. Smegma(a familiar lubricant) - secretion of the glands of the foreskin (fold of skin covering the head) to reduce friction of the head and avoid the occurrence of microtraumas. The lubricant consists of fats and colonies of mycobacteria. New discharge is white and plastic, but over time it turns yellow and acquires a pungent odor.
2. Sperm(also known as seminal fluid) - consisting of two components: seminal plasma - a hodgepodge of products from the activity of various glands and sperm, the final product of the male reproductive system.

Scrotum

The scrotum is a musculocutaneous organ, intended for storing testicles, epididymis and the beginning of the seminal canal. Each individual organ is enclosed in a kind of muscle capsule inside, which is especially clearly visible by the connecting suture that every man has.

The skin color on the scrotum is darker than the rest of the body, the skin is covered with hair, its thickness may vary.

The purpose of the scrotum is obvious - it creates optimal conditions for maintaining important internal reproductive organs. For example, to produce healthy sperm, the body temperature must be two degrees lower than normal human body temperature.

This can be achieved using a unique system for maintaining the required temperature - so in the cold the scrotum tightens, and in the heat it moves away from the body as much as possible.

Abnormal development of the external genitalia in men

There are certain norms for the development of external genitalia. Deviation from these norms is anomalous..

Here are some examples of abnormal penis development:

1. Congenital - the inability to fully open the head due to fused or underdeveloped foreskin. The disease threatens the development of all kinds of infections and the complete impossibility of sexual intercourse, but is usually diagnosed in the first years of a child’s life and can be successfully treated either through exercises or through surgery.
2. Congenital absence of the penis or developmental anomalies of any of its parts, which include both the absence of the head and any violations of the integrity of the shaft (hidden in the body, for example, or forked).
3. Ectopia of the penis (another name, micropenis) is a developmental anomaly in which the penis grows to one or two centimeters, and even in an active state does not increase by more than 3-4 centimeters, which naturally makes sexual life completely impossible. Some men complain about the size of their genitals and in vain call theirs small, although, according to world medical standards, it is of normal, average size and does not require any enlargement.
4. - abnormal development of the urethra (the opening from which urine comes out). The anomaly is that the urethral opening may be located in an inconvenient place for a man, for example, on the scrotum. There are various.
   Mainly by surgeons as a measure, done so that this disease does not interfere with a person in adult life.

An anomaly of the male genital organs that is more difficult to treat than hypospadias. The essence of the diagnosis is that the urethral opening is not just in the wrong place, but it (the urethra) is simply split lengthwise.

Diseases of the genital organs in men

The importance of all organs in the body is high, but representatives of the stronger sex are most horrified when they notice any unpleasant things. They are right to be horrified, I must say. And I must also say that it is necessary to take the most important measure - consult a doctor.

A doctor who can examine and identify diseases, pathologies and anomalies of the male genital organs (inflammation, infectious, congenital, etc.) and in most cases can independently carry out treatment, taking into account the age characteristics of the patients, is an andrologist. He can identify purely male, or common diseases, but they manifest themselves differently from those in women.

The figure clearly shows the cross-sectional structure of the male genital organ system:

Scroll down to read a description of the physiology of the internal male genital organs.

For the harmonious functioning of the male reproductive system, the participation of both external and internal genital organs is required. What do the internal male genital organs include?

The internal genital organs are divided into: testicles, vas deferens, prostate gland, spermatic cord and prostate.

It is worth taking a closer look at the features and work of each of these organs.

Testicles

Testicles(testes) is a double gland responsible for the formation of sperm and the release of the hormone testosterone into the blood, which is responsible for sexual arousal in a man. The size of the testicle on average ranges from four to six centimeters in length.

The location of the testicles is the scrotum, where the testicles are separated by a special membrane (externally expressed by a suture on the scrotum). It is normal that the testicles may be different in size or located at different heights.

Testicles, perhaps the most vulnerable organ of the male reproductive system.

So, for example, overheating is strictly contraindicated for them, because too high a temperature interferes with the development of sperm. The norm for good testicular function is a temperature not exceeding 32-33 degrees.

The scrotum is responsible for regulating temperature, but it may not cope with the task if, for example, a man enjoys hot baths, has a sedentary job, or wears excessively tight underwear.

This lifestyle can lead to infertility and erection problems.

Seminiferous tubule

The seminiferous tubule is organ designed to supply the testicle with blood and remove semen from it.

A pair of convoluted seminiferous tubules extend from the epididymis with a total length of no more than 9 centimeters, whose interior is lined with epithelium in several layers.

They are surrounded by connective, rather loose tissue, penetrated by many blood vessels. Convoluted tubules unite into straight tubules, forming a single testicular network. The result of such a merger is a dozen efferent tubules flowing into the epididymal duct.

Vas deferens

Vas deferens- these are special ducts into which seminal fluid enters from the epididymal duct.

These are two organs, each about half a meter long, designed to release sperm. Starting from the epididymis, they pass through the inguinal canals and unite into a common ejaculatory stream, which, after passing through the prostate gland, ends in the posterior part of the urethra.

The rapid movement of seminal fluid along the stream is possible due to the contraction that occurs on the threshold of orgasm.
At the peak of contractions, sperm enters the urethra, which is the moment of ejaculation.

Prostate

The prostate gland (prostate) is single organ, through which the urethra passes, responsible for the production of secretion, which is an important component of seminal fluid.

Externally the prostate gland resembles a capsule made of dense elastic tissue, inside it is filled with glandular tissue, whose glands produce a secretion that is discharged into the prostate part of the urethra through contraction of the smooth muscles of the gland during ejaculation.

The secretion looks like an opaque white liquid, designed to dilute sperm and ensure their rapid movement through the ducts.

Also, an increase in the total amount of seminal fluid provides a rich and vibrant orgasm.

The prostate is fully formed by the time puberty ends in men; subsequently, its growth and development stop.

More one small but important organ is the seminal vesicles - paired glands, responsible for the production of secretion consisting of protein and fructose. This addition to the seminal fluid is necessary to saturate the sperm with energy and increase their chance of reaching the female egg.

Abnormal development and diseases of the internal genital organs in men

If the abnormal development of the external genital organs leads to the impossibility of sexual intercourse, then any changes in the internal part of the male reproductive system lead to the production of non-viable sperm, and, accordingly, to infertility.

The causes of dysfunction of the internal genital organs can be different:

1. Congenital or acquired as a result of surgery, the absence of one or two testicles.
2. Diseases suffered in adulthood, accompanied by a sharp and prolonged increase in temperature, such as influenza, mumps or measles.
3. Pseudohermaphroditism, expressed in the presence of part of the female genital organs and atrophy of the testicles and prostate, which makes both full sexual intercourse and the possibility of conception impossible.
4. - a disease in which one or two testicles do not descend into the scrotum, but remain in the abdominal cavity or groin.
5. Groin injuries leading to testicular dysfunction or rupture of the spermatic duct.
6. Inflammatory processes caused by sexually transmitted diseases.
7. Consequences of inflammation caused by the last stages of hemorrhoids, prostate or urinary cancer.

Only the joint work of both external and internal male genital organs will ensure the possibility of high-quality functioning of the entire reproductive system.

Disturbances in the functioning of at least one of the organs, caused by illness or neglect of one’s body, can lead to infertility or the complete impossibility of sexual intercourse.

A short video on the structure (structure) of the internal and external male genital organs: find out what functions they perform and how the reproductive system works

The pubis is separated from the thighs by the coxofemoral grooves, and from the abdominal area by the pubic groove. It is covered with hair that extends to the labia majora. Also in this area the subcutaneous fat layer is well developed.

Between the labia majora are the labia minora. Their anterior ends cover the clitoris and form the outermost, and the posterior ends form the frenulum of the labia.

The clitoris has a body, a stalk, a glans and a foreskin. It has a dense fibrous tunica albuginea. And the skin that covers it is rich in sensitive nerve endings.

The vestibule of the vagina is the space between the labia minora. It contains the opening of the vagina and the urethra. The virgin is separated from the vagina.

The vestibule bulb is located at the base of the labia majora. Consists of two lobes connected by a thin intermediate arched part.

Internal genital organs

The ovary is a paired reproductive gland located in the pelvic area. It has an ovoid shape. With the help of two ligaments it is fixed on both sides of the uterus.

There are two free surfaces in the ovary. The first is medial, which is directed into the pelvic cavity. The second is lateral. It is adjacent to the wall of the pelvis.

The uterus is located in the pelvic area. It is a complete, pear-shaped muscular organ. It distinguishes between the body, the neck and the isthmus located between them. The cervix contains many glands that secrete viscous, thick mucus. It forms a Kristeller plug, which closes the lumen of the cervical canal.

The uterine or fallopian tube is a paired tubular organ. It facilitates the passage of the egg into the uterine cavity from the ovary.

The vagina is a tubular organ bounded by the cervix and the hymen (or its remains). Its length is 8-10 cm, and its width is 2-3 cm. The contents of the vagina are whitish in color and have a specific odor. These secretions have bactericidal properties because they contain lactic acid.
