bullet::::- penile tissue: the word "frenulum" on its own is often used for the frenulum of prepuce of penis or "frenulum preputii penis", which is an elastic band of tissue under the glans penis that connects to the prepuce, or foreskin to the vernal mucosa, and helps contract the prepuce over the glans.









































bullet::::- vulvular tissue: in females, genital frenula include the "frenulum clitoridis" of the clitoris and the "frenulum labiorum pudendi" (aka "fourchette") where the labia minora meet at the back.









































an overly short oral or genital frenulum may require a frenulectomy or frenuloplasty to achieve normal mobility.

frenulum veli









































the frenulum veli, or frenulum of superior medullary velum, also known as the "frenulum veli medullaris superioris", "cerebellar frenulum", or "frenulum cerebelli" is a slightly raised white band passing from the inferior end of the medial longitudinal fissure, through the groove between the quadrigeminal bodies, and down to the superior medullary velum.









































on either side of this band the trochlear nerve emerges, and passes forward on the lateral aspect of the cerebral peduncle to reach the base of the brain.
