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 ...
[18] [unreliable medical source?] Fordyce's spots are small, raised, yellowish-white spots 1–2 mm (less than an inch) in diameter that may appear on the penis, which again are common and not infectious. Sebaceous prominences are raised bumps similar to Fordyce's spots on the shaft of the penis, located at the sebaceous glands and are normal.
In male dogs the glans penis is smooth and consists of two parts called the bulbus glandis and pars longa glandis. [56] The glans of a fossa's penis extends about halfway down the shaft and is spiny except at the tip. In comparison, the glans of felids is short and spiny, while that of viverrids is smooth and long. [57]
This expansion, termed the glans penis, is moulded on the rounded ends of the corpus cavernosum penis, extending farther on their upper than on their lower surfaces. At the summit of the glans is the slit-like vertical opening known as the external urethral orifice, or the urinary meatus .
The corona of glans penis (or, directly from the Latin, the corona glandis penis [1]) or penis crown refers to the rounded projecting border or flare that forms at the base of the glans in human males. The corona overhangs a mucosal surface, known as the neck of the penis, which separates the shaft and the glans. [2]
The penile raphe is a visible line or ridge of tissue that runs on the ventral (urethral) side of the human penis beginning from the base of the shaft and ending in the prepuce between the penile frenulum. [1] [2] The line is typically darker than the rest of the shaft skin, even though its shape and pigmentation may vary greatly among males. [1]
The penis is an intromittent organ with a long shaft, an enlarged bulbous-shaped tip called the glans and its foreskin for protection. Inside the penis is the urethra, which is used to ejaculate semen and to excrete urine. Both substances exit through the meatus.
A corpus cavernosum penis (singular) (from Latin, characterised by "cavities/ hollows" [2] of the penis, pl.: corpora cavernosa) is one of a pair of sponge-like regions of erectile tissue, which contain most of the blood in the penis of several animals during an erection.
