Quain's elements of anatomy . eds thanin man. In front, the corporacavernosa are closely bound togather into a blunt conical extremity, which is covered by the glanspenis and firmly connected to its base by fibrous tissue.

The upperor anterior surface is also marked with a slight median groove in whichthe dorsal vein of the penis is situated, and near the root is attached tothe pubes by the suspensory ligament. Structure.—The median septum between the two corpora cavernosais thick and complete near the root ^f the penis ; but farther forward itbecomes thinner, and only imperfectly separates their cavities, for itexhibits, particularly towards the anterior extremity, numerous clefts,extending from the dorsal to the urethral edge, and admitting of afree communication between the erectile tissue of the two sides. Fromthe direction of these shfcs, tlie intermediate white portions of the septum. STEUCTUEE OF COEPOEA CAYEEXOSA. 673 resemble somewhat the teeth of a comb, and hence the partition hasreceived the name of seijtum pectimforme. The external fibrous investment of the cavernous structure is whiteand dense, from ^i^th to ^V^h of an inch thick, and verj strong and Fiff. 584.
