Anatomical terminology

Preputial glandFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Preputial glandsare exocrine glands that are located in the folds of skin front of the genitals of some mamm

including mice)[1]and produce pheromones. The preputial glands of female animals are sometimes called

clitoral glands.

The best studied preputial glands are those of the house mouse and the brown rat, because these two species

mportant model organisms and because their preputial glands are very similar in structure to the (much sma

sebaceous glands of humans. The preputial glands of male musk deer produce strong-smelling deer musk wh

s of economic importance, as it is used in perfumes.

Human homologues

There is debate about whether humans have functional homologues to preputial glands. Preputial glands wer

first noted by Edward Tyson[2]and in 1694 fully described by William Cowper who named them Tyson's

glandsafter Tyson.[3][4]They are described as modified sebaceous glands located around the corona and inn

surface of the prepuce ofthe human penis. They are believed to be most frequently found in the balanoprepu

sulcus.[5]Their secretion may be one of the components of smegma.

Some, includingSatya Parkash,[6]dispute their existence.[7]While humans may not have true anatomical

equivalents, the termmay sometimes be used for tiny whitish yellow pimples occasionally found on the coro

of the glans penis. The proper name for these structures is pearly penile papules (or hirsutoid papillomas).

According to detractors, they are not glands, but mere thickenings of the skin and are not involved in the

formation of smegma.[8][9]
