 Glans Information
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.
