EMAPA:30829
The glans clitoris (glcl) (syn: clitoral glans) (TS:25-TS:28) is the distal part of the clitoris. The glans clitoris is surrounded by the prepuce but it does not lie within a preputial space. The distal part of the clitoral urethra is located within the glans clitoris. An opening forms in the clitoral urethra in the glans clitoris, seen at birth. The urethra forms a large, U-shaped urethral cleft that extends to the tips of the glans clitoris, surrounded by a solid, U-shaped lamina propria and then surrounded by the lamina propria of prepuce. From TS:25-TS:27, is comprised of epithelium and mesenchyme of glans clitoris. At TS:28, is comprised of epithelium and lamina propria of glans clitoris. The epithelium of glans clitoris located dorsally in the clitoris and in direct contact with urethral epithelium. The distal end of the glans clitoris is located just proximal to the urethral opening. The lamina propria contains many diffuse blood vessels.
