The floor of the latter is a verycomplicated and highly sensitive structure and bears animportant relation to the gland, both from a functional ANATOMY OF THE PROSTATE. 13. Fig. II. (R. W.

In the center and longitudinal direction of the floor isa small eminence (9), the verumontanum, or caput galli-naginis. Somewhat in front and in the middle of thiseminence is a small cavity, the utricle (11). On eachside there is a slight fossa, into which the ejaculatory (10)and prostatic (12) ducts open. The floor of the prostatic urethra is the most sensitivepart of the entire genito-urinary tract and is consideredthe seat of the sexual orgasm. It is subject to pathologicallesion more than any other portion of the urethral canal,owing to its complex structure, and to the fact that itreceives the irritative secretions of the prostate and semi-nal vesicles, when these latter organs are affected.
