Eikel: Verskil tussen weergawes

Die '''eikel''' ([[Engels]]: ''glans'') is in die [[mens]]like [[anatomie]] die sensitiewe voorste bol van die [[penis]]. Dit is meer algemeen bekend as die "kop van die penis". Dit word gedeeltelik of heeltemal bedek deur die [[voorhuid]], na gelang van of die man [[besny]] is of nie, maar die voorhuid kan gewoonlik heeltemal teruggetrek word sodat die eikel ontbloot is.

Die eksterne opening van die manlike [[uretra]] (urienbuis) is op die punt van die eikel geleë. Aan die basis van die eikel is ’n ronde, uitstaande rand, die [[corona glandis]]. Die grootte van die eikel wissel grootliks. Dié van sommige penisse is baie wyer as die skag en dit gee die penis ’n [[sampioen]]agtige voorkoms; by ander penisse is dit nouer.

Die voorhuid hou die eikel klam.<ref name="prakash">{{cite journal | last = Prakash | first = Satya | coauthors = Raghuram Rao, K. Venkatesan & S.

Daar is al voorgestel dat die unieke en ongewone vorm van die menslike penis so ontwikkel het sodat ’n man die [[semen]] van ’n ander een kon "uitskep" uit die dieper dele van die [[vagina]] en so die kans van die ander man sou verklein om die vrou swanger te maak.<ref name="gallup">{{cite journal | last = Gallup | first = Gordon | coauthors = Rebecca L.

’n Groot verskeidenheid vorms word by die eikel van diere aangetref. Sommige beslaan feitlik die helfte van die penis, terwyl ander klein en stekelrig is.<ref name="1986Köhncke">{{cite journal | last1 = Köhncke | first1 = M. | last2 = Leonhardt | first2 = K. | title = ''Cryptoprocta ferox'' | journal = Mammalian Species | issue = 254 | pages = 1–5 | year = 1986 | url = http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Biology/VHAYSSEN/msi/pdf/i0076-3519-254-01-0001.pdf | format = PDF | accessdate = 19 May 2010}}</ref>
