The dorsal nerve of the clitoris is a nerve in females that branches off the pudendal nerve [1] to innervate the clitoris. The nerve is important for female sexual pleasure, [2] and it may play a role in clitoral erections. [3] It travels from below the inferior pubic ramus [4] to the suspensory ligament of the clitoris.
Dorsal nerve of the penis. Pudendal nerve, its course through the lesser sciatic foramen, and branches, including dorsal nerve of the penis at bottom left. Transverse section of the penis. (Dorsal nerve visible at top.) The dorsal nerve of the penis is the deepest of three divisions of the pudendal nerve; it accompanies the internal pudendal ...
Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] In amniotes, the clitoris (/ ˈklɪtərɪs / ⓘ KLIT-ər-iss or / klɪˈtɔːrɪs / ⓘ klih-TOR-iss; pl.: clitorises or clitorides) is a female sex organ. [1] In humans, it is the vulva 's most erogenous area and generally the primary anatomical source of female sexual pleasure. [2]
The pudendal nerve branches include the dorsal nerve, which gives sensation to the clitoris. [22] The clitoral glans is seen to be populated by a large number of small nerves, a number that decreases as the tissue changes towards the urethra. [23] The density of nerves at the glans indicates that it is the center of heightened sensation. [23]
Diabetes. Even though it’s rare for the penis to go completely numb, a noticeable decrease in groin sensation could be a sign of diabetes. Diabetes can cause neuropathy, or nerve damage ...
The frenulum is a highly vascularized strip of mucosal tissue on the ventral side of the glans and the neck of the penis. It forms the interface between the outer and inner foreskin layers. [2] During gestation, it forms as the lateral edges of the preputial lamina approach in the ventral midline. The two sides of the lamina do not fuse in the ...
In human anatomy, the penis (/ ˈpiːnɪs /; pl.: penises or penes; from the Latin pēnis, initially "tail" [1]) is an external male sex organ (intromittent organ) that serves as a passage for excretion of urine and ejaculation of semen. The main parts are the root, body, the epithelium of the penis including the shaft skin, and the foreskin ...
The pudendal nerve is the main nerve of the perineum. [1]: 274 It is a mixed (motor and sensory) nerve and also conveys sympathetic autonomic fibers.It carries sensation from the external genitalia of both sexes and the skin around the anus and perineum, as well as the motor supply to various pelvic muscles, including the male or female external urethral sphincter and the external anal sphincter.
