[Penal bone of American mink (Mustela vison Brisson, 1756)].

Abstract

30 male minks were examined anatomically, histologically, and radiologically. It was found that penis bone constituted the always-present part of their penis. It was shown, on the grounds of both the X-ray and histological examinations, that there is the connective tissue basis for osteogenesis of penis bone closer ending.
