The [[foreskin]] and the [[glans]] have similar functions. Both are designed to trigger nerve impulses that lead to [[erection]] and ejaculation. The glans detects deep pressure and movement. The foreskin detects movement through the accordion-like action of the ridged band; in addition, the outer, true [[skin]] of the foreskin has an exquisite ability to detect light touch and pin-prick. The glans lacks these abilities because it relies on the covering foreskin to provide them. | The [[foreskin]] and the [[glans]] have similar functions.
