	Glans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The glans (literally, Latin for acorn--because the glans of an uncircumcised penis often looks like an acorn popping out of its cap) is a structure internally composed of corpus spongiosum in males or of corpus cavernosa and vestibular tissue in females that is located at the tip of homologous genital structures involved in sexual arousal.
		The exterior structure of the glans consists of mucous membrane, which is usually covered by foreskin or clitoral hood in naturally developed genitalia.
		In males the glans is known as the glans penis, while in females the glans is known as the glans clitoris.

	Glans penis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the summit of the glans is the slit-like vertical external urethral orifice.
		The circumference of the base of the glans forms a rounded projecting border, the corona glandis, overhanging a deep retroglandular sulcus, behind which is the neck of the penis.
		Yang and Bradley argue that "The distinct pattern of innervation of the glans emphasizes the role of the glans as a sensory structure".

	Effects of Glans Penis Augmentat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Major contributing factors of sensory in glans penis are distribution of dorsal nerve, number of receptor, threshold of receptor and accessibility of stimuli to the receptor.
		The human glans penis is covered by stratified squamous epithelium and a dense layer of connective tissue equivalent to the dermia of typical skin The papillary dermis blends into and is continuous with the dense connective tissue forming the tunica albuginea of the corpus spongiosum of the glans penis.
		Glans penis augmentation by injectable HA gel is not harmful and as effective as dorsal neurectomy in decreasing sensory of glans penis.

	Chapter Excerpt: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Circumcision by Paul M. Fleiss, M.D. and Frederick M. Hodges, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		On the underside of the glans, the foreskin's point of attachment to the body of the penis is the muscular, bandlike ligament called the frenulum.
		The glans is insensitive to light touch, heat, cold, and even to pinpricks, as researchers at the Department of Pathology in the Health Sciences Centre at the University of Manitoba discovered.
		This is seen most clearly in the evolutionary increase in corpuscular innervation of the human foreskin and the simultaneous decrease in corpuscular receptors in the human glans relative to the innervation of the foreskin and glans of lower primates.

	Female Genital Anatomy
		The glans is covered by a clitoral hood formed in part by the fusion of the upper part of the two labia minora.
		Unlike the clitoral glans the male glans is pierced by the urethra.
		The periurethral glans is defined as the triangular area of mucous membrane surrounding the urethral meatus from the clitoral glans to the vaginal upper rim or caruncle.

	Newborn Penile Glans Amputation During Circumcision and Successful Reattachment
		We describe the successful reattachment of a distal penile glans, which was amputated during newborn circumcision by a nonurologist specialist with the Sheldon clamp.
		The glans and amputated tissue were debrided gently, and the corpus spongiosum and urethra were reanastomosed with 6zero chromic suture using loupe magnification (fig.
		In retrospect, it is apparent that in our case the glans was inadvertently caught in the circumcision clamp when engaged and the distal aspect of the penis was excised during foreskin removal.

	Neuroanatomy of the Penile Portion of the Human Dorsal Nerve of the Penis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The distinct pattern of innervation of the glans emphasizes the role of the glans as a sensory structure.
		Vibratory stimuli applied to the glans penis induced ejaculation in men with spinal cord injury [13,14], supporting the concept that the DNP is the principal source of afferent excitatory drive to the BCM and ejaculation.
		The distribution of the DNP along the penile shaft, with ventrolateral radiation to the corpus spongiosum and midline axons to the glans, is important for the surgical approach to corrective penile procedures.

	Human Sexual Response (Circumcision) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This concept was founded upon the widespread misconception that the circumcised penile glans is more sensitive to the exteroceptive stimuli of coition or masturbation than is the glans protected by a residual foreskin.
		Frequently during coition and occasionally during automanipulation the foreskin of the uncircumcised male retracts from the glans as the fully erect penis reacts to plateau-phase levels of sexual tensions.
		Since 29 of the 35 uncircumcised males developed a significant degree of foreskin retraction during active coition, obviously the uncircumcised glans frequently is exposed directly to exteroceptive stimuli resultant from intravaginal containment just as is the circumcised glans.

	Circumcision: Caring for Your Baby's Circumcised Penis
		If your baby's urinary opening (meatus) is not at the tip of his glans, or if urine comes out of any other opening in his penis, the doctor should be notified immediately.
		The yellowish crust on your baby's glans forms from the fluids that are part of the healing process.
		This can be prevented by pulling the penile shaft skin behind the line of incision gently away from the glans once a day after the initial healing of the wound (seven to ten days).

		A case of hemangioma of the glans penis treated with sodium tetradecyl sulfate is described.
		Hence it is not surprising that there often exists a continuity between the angiomatous lesion and the cavernosal bodies, which manifests as engorgement of the lesion with erection.

		Damage to the glans The erogenous sensitivity that remains after circumcision is primarily in the glans.
		With an ample and highly mobile skin system that rolls over the glans with pressure from the opposing surface, this optimal stimulation of the glans is achieved while avoiding direct friction of the delicate glans surface.
		The combination of foreskin and glans in concert results in an even higher level of stimulation which is unknown to the circumcised male.

		The tightness of the foreskin is a safety mechanism that protects the glans and urethra from direct exposure to contaminants and germs.
		The attachment of the foreskin and glans is nature's way of protecting the undeveloped glans from premature exposure.
		In adults who still have a foreskin that is attached to the glans or a foreskin with such a narrow opening that the glans cannot easily pass through it, steroid creams are a conservative therapy.

	Phimosis and Paraphimosis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Phimosis is the inability to retract the foreskin over the glans, and is usually due to a contracted preputial opening.
		The tight ring of preputial skin which is caught behind the glans creates a venous tourniquet effect and leads to edematous swelling of the glans.
		One common cause of paraphymosis is retracting the foreskin to clean the glans and place a Foley catheter, but forgetting to reduce the foreskin afterwards.

	Bullous lichen planus of the glans penis
		Lichen planus of the male external genitalia commonly involves the glans penis, the lesions being typically annular.[2] Violaceous flat-topped papules similar to lesions elsewhere in the skin can also occur on the glans and shaft of the penis.
		Bullous lichen planus is rare and is the result of extreme liquefaction and vacuolation of the basal cell layer [5].
		It was intriguing to note the isolated occurrence of the rare bullous lichen planus of the glans penis in our case.

	"Circumcision Produces These Irreversible Changes"
		After circumcision, when the glans is exposed to soiled diapers and rough clothing, this membrane becomes 10 times thicker, and the free nerve-endings disappear.
		Since circumcision exposes the bare glans by necessitating the amputation of all the protective skin, constant contact, then, with clothing quickly reduces its sensitivity to that of ordinary epidermis.
		Because circumcision usually necessitates tearing the foreskin from the glans, pieces of the glans may be torn off, too, leaving it pitted and scarred.
