Bulbus glandis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The bulbus glandis (also called a knot) is an erectile tissue structure on the penis of canid mammals. During mating the tissues swell up and lock (tie) the male's penis inside the female.[1] For domestic dogs the tie may last even up to half an hour, though usually less.
