Hypospadias Congenital anomaly in which the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis.
Identical twins 2 infants resulting from division of one fertilized egg into two separate embryos.
Impotence Inability of an adult male to achieve an erection; erectile dysfunction.
Interstitial cells of the testes In the testes , these cells lie between the seminiferous tubules and produce testosterone.
Ligation Tying of a tube of blood vessel. Thread or wire is used
