It is attached to the pubic arch and symphysis by its root(radix penis), has a free expanded extremity (glans penis) orhead, and an intermediary portion, the body (corpus penis). The upper surface is the dorsum, or back. The glans is ablunt, cone-like body, expanded at its base, the corona, andattached by its cervix, or neck (collum glandis). THE GENITOURINARY APPARATUS. 379 The summit has a slit-like aperture, the meatus (orifnumurethra externum), or orifice of the urethra. The skin adheres loosely to the organ, and lias a loose, cup-like fold over the glans, called the prepuce {praspiitmm), afterwhich it is reflected into the cervix and glans, becoming con-tinuous with the mucous membrane of the urethra at the meatus,to which it is attached below by a hand or bridle, the franum(frenulum prceputii).
