330 COMPARATIVE ANATOMY. 



The apex of the organ is spoken of as the glans (glans penis 

 rcl clitoridis) ; this varies much in form, and lies enclosed within 

 a fold of the skin, which in the male is called the foreskin or 

 prepuce. The glans is provided with a special kind of tactile 

 corpuscle. 



Finally, the accessory organs, which are known in the male as 

 preputial and Cowper's glands, and the representatives of the 

 latter in the female (glands of Bartholini), must be mentioned 

 (Fig. 256, Cd). All these, as well as the prostate (PD\ which 

 belongs to the same category, open at various points into the 

 urethra, and have always a paired arrangement.
