Together with the two crura (one crus on each side of the bulb), it constitutes the root of the penis. [2] It is covered by the bulbospongiosus. Proximally/posteriorly, the bulb of penis extends towards the perineal body.
The glans penis as the expansion of the corpus spongiosum. The glans penis is a body of spongy erectile tissue that is moulded on the rounded ends of the two corpora cavernosa penis, [ 9 ] extending farther on their upper than on their lower surfaces.
