This dissection shows the male superficial perineal pouch,
which contains the bulb of the penis covered by the
bulbospongiosus muscle and the corpora cavernosa covered by the ischiocavernosus muscle.
These erectile tissues are shown in a
model.
A second model
shows the muscles covering the erectile tissues as well as the superficial transverse
perineus m. in the superficial pouch. The perineal membrane
forms the inferior border of the urogenital diaphragm (or the roof of the superficial pouch).
Complete your dissection of the female by skinning the clitoris and observing the body and glans.
In the male penis, separate the corpus spongiosum (with glans attached)
from the corpus cavernosa. You will have to do this with a sharp scapel because Buck's fascia
is tough. HINT: If you insert your thin flexible probe into the penile urethra, it will help you
define the corpus spongiosum.
