Prostate
An accessory reproductive gland in the male pelvis located inferior to the urinary bladder and surrounding the prostatic urethra.
The male reproductive structures represented here contribute to sperm production, maturation, transport, and the production of sex hormones.
The BodyParts3D reference dataset is derived from an adult male reference anatomy and contains 12 modeled structures in the reproductive system layer.
Produces male gametes (spermatozoa) and synthesizes male sex hormones (androgens) in the paired testes.
Stores and matures spermatozoa within the left and right epididymides.
Transports sperm through the deferent ducts (vas deferens) during emission.
Contributes seminal fluid components via the seminal vesicles and prostate gland.

An accessory reproductive gland in the male pelvis located inferior to the urinary bladder and surrounding the prostatic urethra.
The right male gonad responsible for producing spermatozoa and secreting testosterone.
The left male gonad responsible for sperm production and endocrine synthesis of sex hormones.
A tightly coiled duct along the posterior margin of the right testis where sperm mature and are stored.
The muscular duct (vas deferens) that transports sperm from the right epididymis toward the ejaculatory duct.
A paired accessory gland posterior to the urinary bladder that secretes fluid making up a major portion of semen.
Every anatomical structure assigned to the Reproductive layer in atlas.json. Curated landmarks include a Learn more guide, and all 12 structures can be selected directly in the 3D viewer.
Launch the 3D viewer with the Reproductive activated. Orbit the camera, use the Exploded View slider to separate overlapping pieces, and click individual structures to inspect their FMA reference ID and anatomical metadata.
You have not selected any structures in the Reproductive inside the 3D viewer yet during this session. Click Explore in 3D or any structure card above to inspect a structure on the 3D model.
The BodyParts3D dataset models the adult male reference reproductive system across 12 structures.
These structures contribute to sperm production, maturation, transport, and the production of sex hormones.
In the male anatomy, the prostate surrounds the proximal urethra below the urinary bladder, sharing the lower urogenital pathway.
Pituitary hormones regulate testicular function, and the testes release sex hormones into the systemic circulation.
