Penis
- Slim and worm-like
- Points backwards when flaccid.
- Squat and urinate rearwards as females do.
- Process at the end of the penis is firm, composed of cartilage.
- It has a slight clockwise curve to aid insertion of the penis through the cervix so that semen can be deposited directly into the uterine horns.
- In newborn and juvenile males, a sheath of skin covers and adheres to the penis, making extrusion impossible.
- Lost at 1-3 years
- Loss of adhesions is a sign of sexual maturity.
- If castration is prior to the Testosterone peak at the beginning of puberty, then adhesions may never completely break down.
