Prostate and seminal vesicles, 1866 illustration. The organs are in their anatomical positions at right, and injected with mercury at left. The prostate gland (part of the male reproductive system) is at centre in each illustration, with the seminal vesicles above at right and to either side at left. The bladder is at top, and the urethra at bottom. This page is plate 45 from the third volume of 'Atlas d'anatomie descriptive du corps humain' (1844-1866) by French anatomists Constantin Bonamy and Paul Broca. This work described the anatomy of the human body with over 250 hand-coloured lithographs. The illustrations were by Emile Beau, with the text by Bonamy and Broca. The three volumes were bound as four books in 1866 when the atlas was completed. This page is from the fourth book 'Generation Respiration', on the genitourinary and respiratory systems. | |
