A British doctor has left TikTok users in shock after he showed what a “thin salami slice” of penis looks like beneath a microscope.
Dr Karan Raj — who boasts more than 5 million followers on the social media app — posted a video featuring an amplified image of the manhood, which was bright pink in color.
The clip, uploaded on Monday, was accompanied by a voiceover in which Raj attempted to explain what, exactly, viewers were looking at.
“Let’s look at the hardware,” he excitedly declared. “The meatstick is composed of three cylinders. One and two are the corpora cavernosa.”
The corpora cavernosa are the two largest cylinders and run down the shaft of the penis, per Raj, who explained that they get filled up with blood during an erection.
The doctor then magnified the image even further to reveal the corpora cavernosa hold tiny blood vessels, resembling branches, to transport the blood amid arousal.
“Tiny spaces between the blood vessels and the penis sponge are key to the expansion of the love missile,” he stated.
The third, smaller cylinder seen on the on the magnified image of the penis is the corpus spongiosum — which holds the urethra.
Raj added that this cylinder can also fill with blood during an erection, compressing the urethra.
Therefore, he explained, it was harder for men to urinate while their penis was stiff.
Viewers were left vexed as to how Raj managed to obtain a magnified image of a “slice” of penis, with one asking: “WAIT. How did you collect this?”
Others said they were “riveted” by the unexpected anatomy lesson that popped up on their TikTok feed.
“This is how you make learning interesting,” one impressed pundit proclaimed.
