THE PROSTATE GLAND AND PENIS. 



These are best hardened in the chromic acid and spirit mixture. It is well to examine a 

 section of a penis with its blood-vessels injected, to study the venous sinuses in the corpus 

 cavernosum penis. The glans penis, when stained with gold chloride reduced by the acetic 

 acid method, shows the mode of termination of medullated nerve-fibres between the epithelial 

 cells covering it, and also their mode of termination in end-bulbs. In the prostate numerous 

 sections of branched tubular glands lined with columnar epithelium, and supported by much 

 non-striped muscle, are to be found.
