Ultrastructure of the Male Urogenital Glands Prostate, Seminal Vesicles, Urethral, and Bulbourethral Glands / edited by Allessandro Riva, Francesca Testa Riva, P. Motta.

Male urogenital glands (also named male accessory sex glands) have received relatively little attention from electron microscopists, with the possible exception of the prostate gland. Moreover, even though comparative studies have clearly shown that these glands exhibit species-dependent features, v...
