Transcript text: 13. Where does the penis actually attach to the rest of the body?
Solution
The penis attaches to the rest of the body at the perineum, which is the area between the anus and the scrotum. Specifically, it is anchored to the pubic bone by the suspensory ligament and the fundiform ligament. These ligaments help support the penis and maintain its position relative to the body. The base of the penis is also connected to the pelvic floor muscles, which play a role in erectile function and urinary control.
