In male human anatomy, the '''glans penis''' (or simply glans, /ɡlænz/)[1] is the sensitive bulbous structure at the distal end of the [[penis]]. <ref>{{REFweb |url=https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/glans+penis |title=glans penis |last= |first= |init= |author-link= |publisher=The Free Dictionary by Farlex |date= |accessdate=2025-01-25}}</ref> 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.
