THE PENIS 329 The glans penis is the continuation of the corpus spongiosum andis an expanded, cap-Uke structure that covers the ends of the corporacavernosa, where its edge is raised forming the corona glandis. At itsend is a slit-hke orifice the external urinary meatus. On the glans theskin forms a free covering, or hood, the prepuce {preputmm) that isattached to the glands beneath the urinary meatus by a delicatefold, Xht frenuhim (frenulum preputii).
