	Prostatitis -- Problems with Cowper's Gland
		Cowper's glands lie in the DEEP PERINEAL POUCH (superior to the perineal body) and are distinguished by their course parallel to the urethra.
		My son has just been diagnosed with a cyst on one of his Cowper's glands.

		Cowper's glands in males are homologous to Bartholin's glands in females.
		The bulbourethral glands (or Cowper's glands) secrete a clear fluid known as pre-ejaculate or Cowper's fluid (colloquially known as "pre-cum") which is generated upon sexual arousal.

	Bulbourethral gland
		In the anatomy of the male human body, the bulbourethral glands (or Cowper's glands) are two small, rounded, and somewhat lobulated bodies, of a yellow color, about the size of peas, placed behind and lateral to the membranous portion of the urethra, between the two layers of the fascia of the urogenital diaphragm[?].
		They secrete a clear fluid known as pre-ejaculatory fluid or Cowper's fluid (colloquially known as "pre-come fluid") which is generated upon sexual arousal.
		The excretory duct of each gland, nearly 2.5 cm long, passes obliquely forward beneath the mucous membrane, and opens by a minute orifice on the floor of the cavernous portion of the urethra about 2.5 cm in front of the urogenital diaphragm.

	Sexuality 3: External male genitals
		Cowper’s glands are two pea-sized glands at the base of the penis under the prostate that secrete a clear alkaline fluid into the urethra during sexual arousal and before orgasm and ejaculation.
		These glands produce mucoid, pre-ejaculatory fluid in the urethra that acts as a lubricant for the sperm and coats the urethra as semen flows out of the penis.
		The vasa deferentia (singular, vas deferens) are the paired tubes that carry the mature sperm from the epididymides to the urethra.

		In this phase, the proximal penis glands increase in size and fluid that may contain live spermatozoa is secreted from the bulbourethral (Cowper's) glands.
		This phase is triggered by a neural reflex arc once the degree of excitement, or the discharge of semen due to the cooperative contraction of the urethra, penis and the prostate glands, occurs.
		In this phase, erection is achieved due to increased blood flow resistance in the capillaries of the penis.

	Definition of Epididymis
		Male: Bulbourethral glands - Cowper's glands - Ejaculatory duct - Epididymis- Penis - Prostate - Scrotum - Seminal vesicles - Spermatic cord - Testes - Urethra - Vas deferens
		They are packed so tightly that they are unable to swim, but are transported via the peristaltic action of muscle layers within the vas deferens, and are mixed with the diluting fluids of the seminal vesicles and other accessory glands prior to ejaculation (forming semen).
		It is a narrow, tightly-coiled tube connecting the efferent ducts from the rear of each testicle to its vas deferens.

	Biology 104 Reproductive System
		The vestibular glands of the female are analogous to the Cowper's glands of the male.
		Estrogen is responsible for maintaining female reproductive structures and female secondary sex characteristics such as enlargement of the breasts and increase in adipose tissue especially in the hips and thighs.
		One of the main functions of the male reproductive system is to control the hormonal secretions from the hypothalamus of the brain, anterior pituitary gland, and the testes.

	OECD Validation of the Hershberger Assay in Japan: Phase 2 Dose Response of Methyltestosterone, Vinclozolin, and p,p´-DDE
		In this phase, a standardized protocol using ventral prostate, seminal vesicles with coagulating glands, levator ani and bulbocavernosus muscle complex, Cowper's glands, and glans penis was successfully tested against a reference androgen compound, testosterone propionate (TP), and a reference antagonist, flutamide (OECD 2001).
		In the 1970s and 1980s, with the discovery of the androgen receptor and the first compounds such as cyprotone acetate that were antagonists of the receptor, the assay was modified to address antagonistic activity.
		In the 1940s, it was discovered that the levator ani and bulbocavernosus muscles also responded to androgens, but in a different way from the other tissues (Eisenberg and Gordan 1950; Eisenberg et al.

		Those fluids are produced by several different glands: the prostate, the bulbourethral or Cowper's glands, and some fluids produced by the vas deferens and the seminal vesicles themselves, and are added to the semen mixture at various points along the way before the semen is ejaculated.
		It marks the spot where the seminal vesicles empty into the urethra, and is also the point at which fluids from the prostate (approximately 30% of the total volume of semen) get mixed into the semen.
		It is this fluid that sometimes comes out when a man is really aroused, but before he ejaculates.

	Pre-ejaculate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fluid is usually secreted by Cowper's glands during foreplay or at an early stage during sex, some time before the man reaches orgasm and semen is ejaculated.
		Pre-ejaculate (also known as pre-ejaculatory fluid or Cowper's fluid) is the clear lubricating fluid that is issued from a man's penis when he is aroused.
		Pre-ejaculatory fluid prepares the urethra for the passage of semen and neutralizes the pH of any residual urine.

		The clear, alkaline fluid is produced and secreted into the urethra by the Cowper's glands (bulbourethral glands) which are located inside your body just below the prostate.
		Precum is a lubricating fluid that clears out excess urine and smooths the urethra for the passage of sperm.
		As you grow older your body will change and one of the things that may diminish is the quantity of precum and sperm your body produces.

	MyBodyIndex - Male Reproductive System
		The male reproductive system consists of the gonads(testes), the ducts(seminiferous tubules, vasa efferentia, Vasa deferentia, ejaculatory duct and the urethra), the accessaory glands(prostate gland, seminal vesicles, cowper’s glands) and the external organ(penis).
		The vasa deferentia is where sperms are stored and propels sperms during an ejaculation to the ejaculation duct.
		The testes consists of the semiferous tubules, tubuli recti, rete testis, testicular lobe, the vasa efferentia, tunica albuginea and the epididymis.

		Symptoms of seminal vesicle specific problems will be similar to those of the Cowper& and should again be referred to a physician or specialist..
		The seminal vesicles are a pair of glands located behind the bladder.
		Problems with the Cowper& are rarely, if ever, serious — but because the symptoms are very similar to those that might be experienced with an STD or a other serious health problem (such as prostate concerns), a physician should be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment.

		The ridge of the glans penis becomes more prominent, the Cowper’s glands secrete preejaculatory fluid, and the testes rise closer to the body.
		The clitoris withdraws, the Bartholin’s glands lubricate, the areolae around nipples become larger, the labia continue to swell, the uterus tips to stand high in the abdomen, and the “orgasmic platform” develops (the lower vagina swells, narrows, and tightens).
		Breathing rate, heart rate, and blood pressure further increase, sexual flush deepens, and muscle tension increases.
