GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cowper’s glands are pea sized glands present inferior to the prostate gland in the male reproductive system. They produce thick clear mucus prior to ejaculation that drains into the spongy urethra.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Cowper’s glands, also known as bulbourethral glands, [1, 2, 3] are a pair of small exocrine glands of the male reproductive system, located in the urogenital diaphragm, deeply located posterolateral to the membranous (or bulbous) portion of the urethra, and below the apex of the prostate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The bulbourethral glands are found inferior to the prostate and they sit posterolaterally to the membranous urethra (the smallest section of the urethra, which lies inferior to the prostatic urethra). In other terms, the glands sit at the base of the penis, within the deep part of the perineal pouch.

Detailed explanation-4: -The prostate is a part of the male reproductive system, which includes the penis, prostate, seminal vesicles, and testicles. The prostate is located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum.
