The bulb of penis is the proximal/posterior end of the (unpaired median) corpus spongiosum. Together with the two crura (one crus on each side of the bulb), it constitutes the root of the penis.[1]
Bulb of penis
The constituent cavernous cylinders of the penis. (Bulb labeled at bottom center.)
Vertical section of bladder, penis, and urethra. (Bulb visible at bottom center.)
Proximally/posteriorly, the bulb of penis extends towards the perineal body. The bulb exhibits a slight yet palpable midline notch upon its inferior aspect.[1]
The male urethra enters the penis at the superior aspect of the anterior part of the bulb (most of the bulb is thus situated inferoposteriorly to the urethra), and the arteries of bulb of penis enter near the urethra.[1]
