Drawings of adult human prostate. (A) Anterior wall of the urethra has been removed to visualize the verumontanum (green) as well as the posterior and lateral walls of the prostatic urethra. Note the distribution of openings of the prostatic ducts in the sulci (urethral recesses or furrows) lateral to the verumontanum as described previously (Timms, 1997). (B) Drawing of a transverse section through the verumontanum (highlighted in red) of an adult human prostate showing the prostatic utricle and ejaculatory ducts joining the prostatic urethra. The prostatic ducts emerge from the urethra in the recesses lateral to the verumontanum. Mucosal glands emerge from the ventral aspect of the urethra. Ejac. duct= ejaculatory duct.
