 the ischial bones. At the distal end of the penis these 

 bodies end in the long xS\\q}^ glans penis, which forms 

 the terminal portion of the corpus spongiosum. A 

 cross-section through the penis will give a good view 

 of the arrangement of the three corpora of which it is 

 composed.

 grooved on the under side.
