The glans penis (or simply glans ) is the sensitive bulbous structure at the distal end of the penis . The glans penis is anatomically homologous to the clitoral glans of the female. It is sometimes fully or partially covered by the foreskin , except in men who have been fully circumcised . The glans is also commonly referred to as the head of the penis , while common British slang terms include helmet, knob end and bell end , all referring to its distinctive shape. The medical name comes from Latin glans acorn + penis of the penis – the Latin genitive of this word has the same form as the nominative .
