| Definitions |
The glans penis (glp) (syn: penile glans) (TS:25-TS:28) is the distal part of the penis. The glans penis lies internally within the preputial space and externally is completely surrounded by the prepuce. The glans can be exposed when the prepuce is retracted. The distal part of the penile urethra is located within the glans penis. From TS:25-TS:27, is comprised of skin and mesenchyme of glans penis. At TS:28, is comprised of corpus cavernosum glandis (two, linear corpora cavernosa, dorsally and ventrally located within the glans penis), corpus cavernosum urethra (linear erectile tissue ventral to the urethra), male urogenital mating protuberance (MUMP), os penis and lamina propria (stroma or connective tissue) and covered with skin. The glans penis is comprised of regions; the MUMP ridge (which encircles the glans and is comprised of a ridge (distal) and a groove (proximal) the MUMP ridge groove), and proximal to the ridge is the glandular ridge. The urethral meatus (the opening of the male penile urethra) is located at a ventral midline cleft in the MUMP ridge close to the distal tip of the glans penis (~1mm from the tip). |
