The bulb of penis is the proximal/posterior bulged [1] end of the (unpaired median) corpus spongiosum penis. Together with the two crura (one crus on each side of the bulb), it constitutes the root of the penis. [2] It is covered by the bulbospongiosus. Proximally/posteriorly, the bulb of penis extends towards the perineal body. The bulb ...
They are the only accessory reproductive glands in male monotremes. Placental mammals usually have one pair of bulbourethral glands, [3] while male marsupials have 1–3 pairs. [3] [4] [5] Of all domesticated animals, they are absent only in dogs. [6]
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.
The bulb of the penis is an enlarged mass of erectile tissue that is located in the midline of the root and is traversed by the male urethra. It continues as a long cylindrical body on the ventral aspect of the shaft called corpus spongiosum . [ 5 ]
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 two crura flank the bulb – one to each side of the bulb. Each crus is attached at the angle between the perineal membrane and ischiopubic ramus. The deep artery of the penis enters the anterior portion of the crus. Distally, each crus transitions into either corpus spongiosum of the body of the penis. [1]
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 ...
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 ...
