ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The foreskin is the retractable fold of skin that covers the end of the penis. It’s a continuation of the skin that covers the whole penis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Before circumcision, the foreskin covers the tip of the penis (glans). After circumcision, the tip of the penis is exposed. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the skin covering the tip of the penis. The procedure is fairly common for newborn boys in certain parts of the world, including the United States.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hood of skin, called the foreskin, covers the head (or glans) of the penis. In circumcision, the foreskin is surgically removed, exposing the end of the penis. Some families choose to circumcise based on cultural or religious beliefs. Others choose to for hygiene or appearance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Circumcision ranks among the world’s most common surgeries (and one of the oldest). After its removal, most foreskin is tossed as biological waste-but when they’re kept around, the leftover cells have proven a vital asset to medical research.

Detailed explanation-5: -When a circumcision is done, tissue which would normally be intact is split. Unless proper care is taken, the epithelium of the inner prepuce at the point where the foreskin was removed can reattach to the epithelium of the glans.
