Erectile tissue is tissue in the body with numerous vascular spaces, or cavernous tissue, that may become engorged with blood. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] However, tissue that is devoid of or otherwise lacking erectile tissue (such as the labia minora , vestibule , vagina and urethra ) may also be described as engorging with blood, often with regard to sexual ...
The human penis is made up of three columns of erectile tissue: two corpora cavernosa lie next to each other (separated by a fibrous septum) on the dorsal side and one corpus spongiosum lies between them on the ventral side. [7] These columns are surrounded by a fibrous layer of connective tissue called the tunica albuginea.
These structures are the future scrotum and labia majora in males and females, respectively. The genital tubercles of an eight-week-old embryo of either sex are identical. They both have a glans area, which will go on to form the clitoral glans (females) or penile glans (males), a urogenital fold and groove, and an anal tubercle. At around ten ...

Cavernous tissue refers to blood-filled spaces lined by endothelium and surrounded by smooth muscle. It is present in the erectile tissue of the penis and clitoris . [ 1 ]
In human male anatomy, the radix (/ r eɪ. d ɪ k s /) [1] or root of the penis is the internal and most proximal portion of the human penis that lies in the perineum.Unlike the pendulous body of the penis, which is suspended from the pubic symphysis, the root is attached to the pubic arch of the pelvis and is not visible externally.
The embryo and subsequent early fetus appear to be sexually indifferent, looking neither like a male or a female. Over the next several weeks, hormones are produced that cause undifferentiated tissue to transform into either male or female reproductive organs. This process is called sexual differentiation.
