Correct Answer � A Explanation |
 |
Ans. is ‘A’ i.e., Corpus spongiosum
- The penis is the male organ of copulation. The penis has a root and a body.
- The root of the penis is situated in the superficial perineal pouch, attached to the inferior surface of the perineal membrane. It consists of three masses of erectile tissue: the bulb of the penis and two crura. Each crus continues forward to become the corpus cavernusum (in the body) and the bulb is the posterior end of the corpus spongiosum (of the body).
- The body of the penis is the free portion of the penis. It is composed of three elongated masses of erectile tissues:- right and left corpora cavernosa, and median corpus spongiosum. Corpora cavernosae are enveloped by tunica albuginea and corpus spongiosum is also surrounded by tunica albuginea. The penile urethra runs through the whole length of the corpus spongiosum from the bulb at the back to the terminal expanded part of the corpus spongiosum, called the glans penis.
