Penis Anatomy

Medical Education

In human existence structures, the penis is an external male intromittent organ that in addition fills in as the urinary channel. The essential parts are the root (radix); the body (corpus); and the epithelium of the penis including the shaft skin and the prepuce (prepuce) covering the glans penis. The body of the penis is involved three areas of tissue: two corpora cavernosa on the dorsal side and corpus spongiosum between them on the ventral side. The human male urethra goes through the prostate organ, where it is joined by the ejaculatory pipe, and subsequently through the penis. The urethra explores the corpus spongiosum, and its opening, the meatus (), lies on the tip of the glans penis. It is a part both for pee and release of semen (see male conceptive system).
