Glutamate transporter. Glutamate transporters are a family of neurotransmitter transporter proteins that move glutamate â the principal excitatory neurotransmitter â across a membrane. The family of glutamate transporters is composed of two primary subclasses: the excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) family and vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT) family.
Also known as the bulbourethral glands, are located on either side of the urethra just below the prostate gland and their ducts open into the urethra. They secrete thick mucus acting as a lubricant.he ejaculatory duct in the seminal vesicles passes through the prostate gland and enters the urethra. Glands located at the base of the urinary bladder, opening into the vas deferens as it joins the urethra.
Each cord originates at the tail of the epididymis and extends back through the inguinal canal. The prostate gland lies below the rectum and above the pelvic bone along the lower abdominal wall. It is normally located near the front of the rim of the pelvis at the back of the abdominal cavity. The prostate gland surrounds the neck of the bladder, the beginning portion of the urethra, and the termination of the ductus deferens. The penis is located within the prepuce (a protective tubular sheath of skin).
