The blood from the cavernous spaces is returned by a series of vessels, some ofwhich emerge in considerable numbers from the base of the glans penis, and con-verge on the dorsum of the organ to form the dorsal vein ; others pass out on theupper surface of the corpora cavernosa and join the dorsal vein; some emerge fromthe under surface of the corpora cavernosa, and, receiving branches from the corpusspongiosum, wind round the sides of the penis

The Corpus spongiosum encloses the urethra, and is situated in the groove onthe under surface of the corpora cavernosa. It commences posteriorly in front ofthe deep perineal fascia, between the diverging crura of the corpora cavernosa, where Fig. 646. C?v^S.
