The bulbospongiosus muscles (in older texts bulbocavernosus and, for female muscle, constrictor cunni) are a subgroup of the superficial muscles of the perineum. [1] They have a slightly different origin, insertion and function in males and females. In males, these muscles cover the bulb of the penis, while in females, they cover the vestibular ...
The bulb of penis is the proximal/posterior bulged [1] end of the (unpaired median) corpus spongiosum penis.Together with the two crura (one crus on each side of the bulb), it constitutes the root of the penis. [2]

In human male anatomy, the radix (/ r eɪ. d ɪ k s /) [1] or root of the penis is the internal and most proximal portion of the human penis that lies in the perineum.Unlike the pendulous body of the penis, which is suspended from the pubic symphysis, the root is attached to the pubic arch of the pelvis and is not visible externally.
The bulbourethral glands are present on either side of the membranous urethra and their ducts pierce the perineal membrane posterolateral to the urethra. The deep and dorsal artery of the penis arises from the internal pudendal artery and penetrates the perineal membrane to enter the corpora cavernosa in the crus of the penis.

The perineal body is a pyramidal structure of muscle and connective tissue and part of it is located between the anus and vagina. It is a tendon that is formed at the point where the bulbospongiosus muscle , superficial transverse perineal muscle , [ 7 ] and external anal sphincter muscle converge to form this major supportive structure of the ...
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. It is the expanded cap of the corpus spongiosum , [ 10 ] a sponge-like region that surrounds the male urethra within the penis maintaining it as a viable ...
