The fascia layer of the male anatomy that the anterior two-thirds of the testicle is:
the spermatic cord.
the tunica vaginalis.
the epididymis.
the vas deferens. - ANS the tunica vaginalis.

genetics.
infection.
injury.
blockage of the spermatic cord. - ANS genetics.
The function of the vas deferens is to:
secrete prostate fluid and transport it to the urethra during ejaculation.
prevent compression of the urethra during erection.
produce sperm and androgens.
transport sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts. - ANS transport sperm from the
epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts.
Alpha blockers are recommended in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia because they:
reduce inflammation in the prostate.
decrease the size of the prostate.
cause a dysregulation of growth hormone.
relax the smooth muscle of the prostate. - ANS relax the smooth muscle of the prostate.

from the penis.
