Human penis
The
human penis
is an external
male
intromittent organ
that additionally serves as the
urinal duct
. The main parts are the root (radix); the body (corpus); and the
epithelium
of the penis including the shaft
skin
and the
foreskin
covering the
glans penis
. The body of the
penis
is made up of three columns of
tissue
: two
corpora cavernosa
on the
dorsal side
and
corpus spongiosum
between them on the
ventral side
. The human male
urethra
passes through the
prostate gland
, where it is joined by the
ejaculatory duct
, and then through the penis. The urethra traverses the corpus spongiosum, and its opening, the
meatus
, lies on the tip of the glans penis. It is a passage both for
urination
and
ejaculation
of
semen
.
