Near the anterior margin of the deep perineal pouch, the internal pudendal artery bifurcates into two terminal branches. A deep artery of the penis penetrates the perineal membrane to enter the crus and supply the crus and corpus cavernosum of the body. The dorsal artery of the penis penetrates the anterior margin of the perineal membrane to meet the dorsal surface of the body of the penis. The vessel courses along the dorsal surface of the penis, medial to the dorsal nerve, and supplies the glans penis and superficial tissues of the penis; it also anastomoses with branches of the deep artery of the penis and the urethral artery.
