The body of the penis (corpus penis) extends from the root to the ends of the corpora cavernosa between the root and extremity. In the flaccid condition of the organ it is cylindrical, but when erect it has a triangular prismatic form with rounded angles, the broadest side being turned upward, and called the dorsum penis. The lower surface of the body of the penis is called the urethral surface (fades urethralis). The body is covered by integument, and contains in its interior a large portion of the urethra. The extremity is formed by the glans penis, the expanded anterior (distal) end of the corpus spongiosum. It is separated from the body by the constricted neck, which is surmounted by the corona glandis. The integument covering the penis is remarkable for its thinness, its dark color, its looseness of connection with the deeper parts of the organ, and for the absence of adipose tissue. At the root of the penis the integument is continuous with that upon the pubes, scrotum, and perineum. At the neck of the glans it leaves the surface and becomes. folded upon itself to form the prepuce (praeputium) (Fig. 1161). The internal layer of the prepuce is directly continuous, along the line of the neck, with the integument over the glans. Immediatelv behind the.
