Thecorpus spongiosum is longer than the cor-pora cavernosa, projects beyond them atboth their anterior and posterior ends, andis expanded to make up for their deficiencyat these points. The anterior expansion,the glans, contains the glandular urethra(fossa navicularis) which is about The cavernous urethra occupies thelong, thin, central part of the corpus spon-giosum underlying the cavernous bodies.
