Figure 1. Anatomy of the dorsal nerve of the penis (DNP, a) of the cat.

Figure 1

Dorsolateral view of the penile body from the ventral side of the cat. A branch of the DNP was observed leaving the body of the penis and innervating the skin of the prepuce and perineum (b). Another branch of the DNP coursed along the lateral body of the penis to the glans and gave off nerves towards the urethra (c). A third, more superficial branch traveled along the dorsal aspect of the body of the penis to the glans penis and prepuce (d).
