}}</ref> Modern anatomical texts instead show that the [[clitoris]] displays a [[Clitoral hood | hood]] that is the equivalent of the penis's [[foreskin]], which covers the [[glans]], and a shaft that is attached to the glans; the male corpora cavernosa are homologous to the corpus cavernosum clitoridis (the female cavernosa); the corpus spongiosum is homologous to the vestibular bulbs beneath the [[labia minora]], and the scrotum is homologous to the [[labia minora]] and [[labia majora]].<ref name="Chapple Steers 2010">{{REFbook

Upon anatomical study, the [[penis ]] can be described as a [[clitoris]] that has been mostly pulled out of the body and grafted on top of a significantly smaller piece of spongiosum containing the [[urethra]].<ref name="Chapple Steers 2010"/><ref name="Schuenke etal 2010"/><ref name="Saladin 2010"/> With regard to nerve endings, the human [[clitoris]]'s estimated 8,000 or more (for its glans or clitoral body as a whole) is commonly cited as being twice as many as the nerve endings found in the human penis (for its glans or body as a whole), and as more than any other part of the human body.<ref name="Carroll 2012">{{REFbook

}}</ref> These reports sometimes conflict with other sources on clitoral anatomy or those concerning the nerve endings in the human [[penis]]. For example, while some sources estimate that the human penis has 4,000 nerve endings,<ref name="Carroll 2012"/><ref name="Di Marino 2014"/> other sources state that the glans or the entire penile structure have the same amount of nerve endings as the [[clitoral glans]],<ref>{{REFbook

}}</ref> or discuss whether the [[uncircumcised]] penis has thousands more than the [[circumcised ]] penis or is generally more sensitive.<ref>{{REFweb

Some sources state that in contrast to the [[glans penis]], the [[clitoral glans]] lacks smooth muscle within its fibrovascular cap and is thus differentiated from the erectile tissues of the [[clitoris]] and bulbs; additionally, bulb size varies and may be dependent on age and estrogenization.<ref name="Ginger Yang 2011">{{REFbook
