In male human anatomy, the '''glans penis''' (or simply glans, /ɡlænz/)[1] is the sensitive bulbous structure at the distal end of the [[penis]]. The glans is anatomically homologous to the clitoral glans of the human female. Typically, the glans is completely or partially covered by the [[foreskin]], except in men who have been circumcised, though the [[foreskin]] can generally be retracted over and past the glans. | In male human anatomy, the '''glans penis''' (or simply glans, /ɡlænz/)[1] is the sensitive bulbous structure at the distal end of the [[penis]].
