Formed by Corpora Spongiosum
36
Erectile Tissues
**Left and Right Crura bulb of penis** **Corpora cavernosa** - erectile tissue continues into body of penis **Corpus spongiosum** - formed by the bulb of the penis - mae urethra runs thru here - expands to form glans penis
37
Ischicavernosus muscles cover?
The **Cura** - the Cura forms the **Corpora cavernosum**
38
There are four muscles located in the root of the penis:
Bulbospongiosus (x2) Ischiocavernosus (x2)
39
Which muscle forms the glans penis? A. Corpora Spongiosum B. Corpora Cavernosum C. Bulbospongiosus D. Ischiocavernosus
**A. Corpora Spongiosum**
40
The penis receives arterial supply from three sources:
- **Dorsal arteries** of the penis - **Deep arteries** of the penis (Right & Left Corpora Cavernosum) - **Bulbourethral** artery
41
Dorsal arteries of the penis, Deep arteries of the penis, Bulbourethral artery, all come off the?
All come off the **internal pudendal artery**
42
Veins are SHUT during erection? T or F
TRUE
43
Point and Shoot Refers to?
_Point_: Erection = Parasympathetic _Shoot_: Ejaculation = Sympathetic
44
Sensory innervation to the skin and glans penis
Pudendal Nerve
45
Peri-prostatic nerve plexus is responsible for the vascular changes which cause an erection. Is this sympathetic or parasympathetic?
Parasympathetic
46
Seminiferous Tubules: Produce Spermatozoa Spermatozoa --\>
Rete Testis --\> Efferent Ductules--\> Epididymis (where sperm is stored)
47
Flow of Sperm
Seminiferous Tubules --\> Rete Testis -\> Efferent Ductules -\> Epididymis -\> Vas Deferens -\> Vas Deferens + Seminal Vesicles --\> Ejaculatory Duct --\> Urethra
48
If you lose parasympathetic innervation to the penis, which action would be compromised?
Erection
49
Vas deferens passes LATERAL to the inferior epigastric vessels?
TRUE
50
