An elastic band of tissue, known as the frenulum, runs on its ventral surface.
At the summit appears the urinary meatus and at the base forms the corona glandis. In humans, the glans is located over the distal ends of the corpora cavernosa and is a continuation of the corpus spongiosum of the penis. It is externally lined with mucosal tissue, which creates a smooth texture and glossy appearance.
The glans penis is present in the male reproductive organs of humans and most mammals where it may appear smooth, spiny, elongated or divided. In male human anatomy, the glans penis, commonly referred to as the glans ( / ɡ l æ n z/), is the bulbous structure at the distal end of the human penis that is the human male's most sensitive erogenous zone and primary anatomical source of sexual pleasure.
