Shaft skin: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''{{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]].

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

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

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

{{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]].
