From its front and sides numerous imperfect septa (trabeculæ) are given off, which radiate toward the surface of the organ, and are attached to the tunica albuginea. The tunica albuginea is the tough fibrous covering of the testicles. ...
They divide the interior of the organ into a number of incomplete spaces which are somewhat cone-shaped, being broad at their bases at the surface of the gland, and becoming narrower as they converge to the mediastinum. The mediastinum supports the vessels and duct of the testis in their passage to and from the substance of the gland.

Female anatomy In anatomy, the urethra is a tube which connects the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. ...
The prostatic urethra, the widest and most dilatable part of the canal, is about 3 cm. ...
The intermediate part of male urethra (membranous portion) is the shortest, least dilatable, and, with the exception of the external orifice, the narrowest part of the canal. ...
The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. ...
The internal urethral orifice is placed at the apex of the trigonum vesicae, in the most dependent part of the bladder, and is usually somewhat crescentic in form; the mucous membrane immediately behind it presents a slight elevation, the uvula vesicae, caused by the middle lobe of the prostate. ...

The fundiform ligament is a specialization of the superficial (Scarpas) fascia of the abdomen. ...
In males, the suspensory ligament of the penis is attached to the pubic symphysis, which holds the penis close to the pubic bone and supports it when erect. ...
The Male Anatomy The foreskin or prepuce (a technically broader term that also includes the clitoral hood, the analoguous structure in women) is a retractable double-layered fold of skin and mucous membrane that covers the glans penis and protects the urinary meatus when the penis is not erect. ...
