Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index In anatomy, the prepuce is a retractable piece of skin which covers part of the genitals. Note: For historical and cultural reasons, there are two articles on the male and female human prepuce, respectively. Please see the talk page for a discussion of this topic. This article should only contain material about the prepuce which is common to both sexes. On a male, this covers the head of the penis (the glans penis). See foreskin. On a female, it surrounds and protects the clitoris. See clitoral hood. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
