	~~'''~~Bulb of penis''' is a part of the [[male reproductive system]] that is located in the [[pelvis]]. It is a part of the [[penis]] that is internally located and is not visible externally. The bulb of penis is an important part of the [[urethra]], which is the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body.		==Bulb of Penis==

	~~== Anatomy ==~~		The '''bulb of the penis''' is an anatomical structure that is part of the male reproductive system. It is a rounded mass of erectile tissue located at the base of the penis, within the superficial perineal pouch. The bulb of the penis is an integral component of the [[corpus spongiosum]], which is one of the three columns of erectile tissue that make up the penis.

	~~The bulb of penis is located at the base of the penis, and it is the most proximal part of the~~ [[~~corpus spongiosum]]~~. ~~It is larger in size compared to the rest~~ of ~~the corpus spongiosum. The bulb is attached to the [[pelvic bone]] by the [[bulbospongiosus muscle~~]]~~, which contributes to the control of urination and ejaculation.~~		[[File:Gray1154.png\|Bulb of penis\|thumb\|right]]

	== ~~Function~~ ==		==Anatomy==

	The bulb of penis plays a crucial role in ~~sexual~~ function~~. During sexual arousal,~~ the bulb ~~fills with blood, leading to an erection. The bulb also plays a role in ejaculation~~, as ~~the muscles surrounding~~ it ~~contract~~ to expel semen.		The bulb of the penis is situated at the posterior end of the corpus spongiosum. It is positioned in the midline of the body and is covered by the [[bulbospongiosus muscle]]. This muscle plays a crucial role in the function of the bulb, as it helps to expel the last drops of urine and semen from the urethra by compressing the bulb.

	~~== Clinical significance ==~~		The bulb of the penis is continuous with the corpus spongiosum, which extends forward to form the ventral part of the body of the penis and the [[glans penis]]. The urethra, which is the duct through which urine and semen are expelled from the body, runs through the center of the bulb and continues through the corpus spongiosum.

	Injuries to the bulb of penis can lead to erectile dysfunction or difficulties with urination and ejaculation. Such injuries can occur due to trauma, surgery, or certain medical conditions. Treatment for these issues can involve medication, surgery, or other therapies.		==Function==

	~~== Etymology ==~~		The primary function of the bulb of the penis is to contribute to the erection and ejaculation processes. During sexual arousal, the erectile tissue within the bulb becomes engorged with blood, leading to the erection of the penis. The bulbospongiosus muscle, which covers the bulb, contracts rhythmically during ejaculation, aiding in the propulsion of semen through the urethra.

	~~The term "bulb" in bulb of penis comes from the Latin word "bulbus", which means a round swelling or knob~~. ~~This is in reference to the shape of this part~~ of ~~the~~ penis.		[[File:Gray1156.png\|Bulb of penis\|thumb\|left]]

	== ~~See also~~ ==		==Blood Supply and Innervation==

	* [[~~Corpus cavernosum~~]]		The bulb of the penis receives its blood supply from the [[internal pudendal artery]], which branches into the artery of the bulb. Venous drainage is primarily through the deep dorsal vein of the penis. The nerve supply to the bulb is provided by the [[pudendal nerve]], which is responsible for both sensory and motor innervation.

			==Clinical Significance==

			The bulb of the penis can be involved in various medical conditions. Trauma to the perineal region can lead to injury of the bulb, resulting in complications such as [[urethral stricture]] or [[perineal hematoma]]. Infections or inflammation of the bulb can also occur, leading to conditions such as [[balanitis]] or [[urethritis]].

			[[File:Gray1142.png\|Bulb of penis\|thumb\|right]]

			==Related Structures==

			The bulb of the penis is closely associated with other structures in the male reproductive system, including the [[crura of the penis]], which are the two other columns of erectile tissue that form the [[corpora cavernosa]]. Together, these structures facilitate the function of the penis in sexual reproduction.
