Objective: The study is investigate the anatomical description of the male
accessory genital glands in hare in addition to blood supply and nerves which
nourish these glands.
Methods: the study included 20 hares aged between 8 –12 months and average of
weights ranged between 1.5–2 kgs. These animals were euthanatized by giving 5
ml/kg b.w. of ketamine and giving (3) ml/kg b.w of zylazine intramuscular
injection. Hares were dissected by using sharp scalpel in order to make
incision in lina alba of the location so that the male accessory.
Results: The anatomical study revealed ampulla of duct deferens, paired seminal
vesicle gland, paired prostate gland and paired bulbourethral glands, that well
developed in hare. It explained that the prostate gland has only body, which
located on external part of the pelvic urethra. On opposite with another
animals, found without the disseminate portion, it is diffused within the
pelvic urethra.
Disseminated. The study included the anatomical parameters of ampullae
gland ranged between (1.97±0.06–1.73±0.05) cm. in length, (0.22±0.02–
0.28±0.02) cm. in width, (0.152±0.004–0.167±0.005) gms. in weight and
(0.25±0.01–0.22±0.005) cm³. in volume. The seminal vesicle glands have
(0.63±0.04–0.73±0.02) cm. in length, (0.41±0.02–0.52±0.03) cm. in width,
(0.089±0.002–0.080±0.003) gms. in weight and (0.20±0.003– 0.28±0.007) cm³. in
volume. The body of prostate in hare ranged between (0.47±0.02– 0.58±0.04) cm.
in length, (0.28±0.02–0.62±0.03) cm. in width, (0.142±0.004– 0.157±0.005) gms.
in weight and (0.20±0.01–0.177±0.003) cm³. in volume. The measurement of
bulbourethral glands are ranging between (2.28±0.03–1.99±0.05) cm. in length,
(0.58±0.04–0.55±0.04) cm. in width, (0.56±0.01–0.54±0.01) gms in weight and
(0.86±0.02–0.86±0.008) cm³. in volume.
