Uberon definition : The Dorsal Artery of the Penis ascends between the crus penis and the pubic symphysis,
and, piercing the inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm, passes between the
two layers of the suspensory ligament of the penis, and runs forward on the dorsum
of the penis to the glans, where it divides into two branches, which supply the glans
and prepuce. On the penis, it lies between the dorsal nerve and deep dorsal vein,
the former being on its lateral side. It supplies the integument and fibrous sheath
of the corpus cavernosum penis, sending branches through the sheath to anastomose
with the deep artery of the penis. [WP,unvetted].;
