Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. Prtll!ed UII il( Id-}ree papa Preface Male urogenital glands (also termed male accessory sex glands) have received relatively little attention from electron microscopists, with perhaps the exception of the prostate gland. Moreover, even though comparative studies have clearly shown that these glands exhibit species dependent features, very few studies, scattered among various publications, are available on the urogenital glands of man. This volume, the 11th of the series Electron Microscopy in Biology and Medicine, presents an unprecedented collection of information on the functional microanatomy and cytoarchitecture of these organs in humans. Through the integration of transmission and scanning electron microscopy with a variety of modern techniques, it documents the most important aspects of the histophysiology of these glands from their development to some pathological alterations. In order to cover some key mechanisms of their cell biology, such as the action of sex hormones, the epithelio-mesenchymal interactions, and the dynamic of the secretory process, reports on human organs have been supplemented by some studies on experi mental animals. On the basis of the outstanding level of the contributions and the quality of the illustrations, we believe that this book, which has been compiled by some of the world authorities on the topic, will serve not only as a reference work for students, scientists, and professionals interested in biomedical foundations of andrology, but also as a stimulus for future research in this exciting and relatively neglected chapter of human reproduction. Finally, we wish to thank Mr. J.K. Smith and his staff, who once again have fully demonstrated their professional skill in the production of the book. A. Riva, P.M. Motta, and F.
