Connection of the arterial twigs (a) wit penis under a low magnifying powe LACUNA MAGNA highly sensitive papillfe. In the retroglandular sulcus numerous small glands, the glandulae Tysonii odoriferae (glandidae praeputii) have been described. They secrete a sebaceous material of very peculiar odor, called smegma praepufii, which probably contains casein, and readily undergoes decomposition. The prepuce covers a variable amount of the glans and is separated from it by a potential sac—the preputial sac—which presents two shallow recesses {fossae frenuli), one on either side of the frenuluni. Structure.—From the internal meatus surface of the fibrous envelope of the corpora cavernosa, as well as from the sides of the septum, are given off a number of or cords which cross the interior of each crus in all directions, subdi- viding it into a number of separate compartments, and giving the entire structure a spongy appearance. These bands and cords are called trabeculae corporum cavemosum, and consist of white fibrous tissue, elastic fibres, and smooth muscle tissue. In them are continued numerous arteries and nerves. The component fibres of which the trabecula; are composed are larger and stronger around the circumference than at the centre of the corpora cavernosa; they are also thicker behind than in front. The interspaces, on the contrary, are larger at the centre than at the circumference their long diameter being directed tninsversely; they are largcsl aiikTinrly. They are called cavernous spaces and are occupied by blood during erection, and are lined by a layer of flattened endothelial cells (Fig. 1159). The arteries bringing the blood to these spaces are the arteries of the corpora cavernosa and branches from the dorsal artery of the penis, which perforate the fib
