Any of the organized aggregations of cells that function as secretory or excretory organs and are associated with reproduction. The atlas records it as a gland at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the reproductive gland is
It sits within the reproductive system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the reproductive gland connects to
The atlas records 7 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of reproductive system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the reproductive gland. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Is the reproductive gland the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
