What is the pars longa glandis and what part of the penis is it part of
Glans: it overlaps the distal half of bulbus glandis to the end, and partially encircles os penis & urethra
What is the os penis and what part of the penis is it a part of
Glans: It is a passageway for the urethra (bone ends in fibrocartilage for protection)
What are the 2 parts of the prepuce
The tubular sheath (over glans) and the fornix (internal layer reflected onto glans)
What is the sympathetic innervation of the penis
Hypogastric n.
What is the parasympathetic innervation of the penis
Pelvic n.
What is the sensory innervation of the penis
Pudendal n. (branch of sacral plexus)
The root of the penis is formed by…
The L and R crura originating at ischiatic tuberosities
What is the root of the penis composed of
Corpus cavernosum tissue, surrounded by tunica albuginea
What 3 muscles are found in the root of the penis
