What is the penis?
The penis is the external male genitalia. It contains many types of tissue, such as skin, nerves, and blood vessels. The urethra is inside the penis. This is the tube through which urine and semen leave the body. The tip of the penis is called the glans. The foreskin covers the glans. Every male has a foreskin at birth. Circumcision is the removal of a part or the entire foreskin on the penis at birth or later on in life.
