'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is the [[skin]] which covers and protects the parts of the [[penis]] shaft. The [[shaft skin]] is part of the epithelium of the [[penis]].

'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is the [[skin]] which covers and protects the parts of the [[penis]] shaft. The [[shaft skin]] is part of the epithelium of the [[penis]]. The shaft skin incorporates a layer of muscle fiber called the [[Dartos]].

~~In humans and some other mammals parts~~ of ~~the shaft skin become covered with pubic hair at puberty~~.

The Dartos is not attached to the underlying [[Buck's fascia]], so there is a very high degree of mobility, allowing [[gliding action]].

~~{{NOTE}} The male [[foreskin]] is no part~~ of the ~~penile~~ shaft skin ~~but a separate "organ" which covers and protects the [[glans penis]]. The shaft skin, the [[foreskin]] and the [[preputial mucosa]] build the epithelium of the~~ [[~~penis~~]].

In humans and some other mammals, parts of the shaft skin become covered with pubic hair at [[puberty]].

{{NOTE}} The [[foreskin]] is not part of the penile shaft skin, but a separate "organ" which covers and protects the [[glans penis]]. The shaft skin, the [[foreskin]] and the [[preputial mucosa]] build the epithelium of the [[penis]]. The outer layer of the [[foreskin]] is similar to the shaft skin.
