What is another word for standing os?
Pronunciation: [stˈandɪŋ ˌə͡ʊˈɛs] (IPA) 
Standing os has several synonyms, including Verumontanum, Crista Urethralis, and Spina Urethralis. These terms refer to the anatomical protrusion found at the base of the male urethra, near the prostate gland. It is called the standing os because it appears as a small ridge or "spine" when the penis is erect. The primary function of the standing os is to anchor the urethra and help control the flow of urine through the urinary tract. An understanding of the standing os is crucial for urologists and medical professionals as it can affect the diagnosis and treatment of urological conditions such as prostatitis, urethral strictures, and urinary tract infections.
