The deep dorsal vein of the penis, the cavernosal veins of the penis, and the para-arterial veins of the penis are inside Buck's fascia, but the superficial dorsal veins of the penis are in the superficial fascia immediately under the skin.
The body of the penis is suspended from the pubic symphysis. [7] It has two surfaces; the dorsal and the ventral or urethral.The penile raphe runs on its ventral surface.. The body is surrounded by a bi-layered model of tunica albuginea in which a distal ligament buttresses the glans penis and plays an integral role to the penile fibroskeleton, and the structure is called "os analog", a term ...
The urinary meatus [a] (/ m iː ˈ eɪ t ə s /, mee-AY-təs; pl.: meati or meatuses), also known as the external urethral orifice, is the opening of the penis or vulva where urine exits the urethra during urination. It is also where semen exits during male ejaculation, and other fluids during female ejaculation. The meatus has varying degrees ...
The urethra passes through the prostate gland, where it is joined by the ejaculatory ducts, and then through the penis. The urethra goes across the corpus spongiosum and ends at the tip of the glans as the opening, the urinary meatus. An erection is the stiffening expansion and orthogonal reorientation of the penis, which occurs during sexual ...
In human male anatomy, the septum of the penis or penile septum refers to the fibrous junction between the two corpora cavernosa of the human penis. The tunica albuginea of the penis forms a thick fibrous coat to the spongy tissue of the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum . [ 1 ]
On the latter there is a median sulcus (groove), from which a thin fibrous septum (wall) projects into the substance of the bulb and divides it imperfectly into two lateral lobes or hemispheres. The portion of the corpus spongiosum in front of the bulb lies in a groove on the under surface of the conjoined corpora cavernosa penis.
Dissection of prostate showing the fibers of the external sphincter surrounding the membranous urethra and partially cradling the inferior portion of the prostate. The urethral sphincters are two muscles used to control the exit of urine in the urinary bladder through the urethra .
Articles relating to the human penis, an external male sex organ (intromittent organ) that additionally serves as the urinary duct.The main parts are the root, body, the epithelium of the penis including the shaft skin, and the foreskin covering the glans.
