The baculum (pl.: bacula), also known as the penis bone, penile bone, os penis, os genitale, [1] or os priapi, [2] is a bone in the penis of many placental mammals.
The male accessory glands are the ampullary gland, seminal vesicle, prostate, bulbourethral gland, and urethral gland. [5]The products of these glands serve to nourish and activate the spermatozoa, to clear the urethral tract prior to ejaculation, serve as the vehicle of transport of the spermatozoa in the female tract, and to plug the female tract after placement of spermatozoa to help ensure ...

During musth, a male elephant may urinate with the penis still in the sheath, which causes the urine to spray on the hind legs. [7] Male dogs have a conspicuous penis sheath. [8]
