Radiographic study of the penis in adult Indigenous Gazelle ( Gazella subgutturosa )

Abstract

Five specimens of adult Gazelle of (2-3) years old were used to study the internal pattern of the movement of blood inside the C.C.P. during erection, this was done by injected contrast media from the root of penis and photographed radio- graphically. The results showed that the penis of Gazelle has one dorsal canal on the dorsal part of the C.C.P., this canal extended from the root to the beginning of glans. From this canal the cavernous spaces of C.C.P. will be filled during erection by interconnecting canals.
