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 ...
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.
Blood can leave the erectile tissue only through a drainage system of veins around the outside wall of the corpus cavernosum. The expanding spongy tissue presses against a surrounding dense tissue (tunica albuginea) constricting these veins, preventing blood from leaving. The penis becomes rigid as a result.
The epithelium is not attached to the underlying shaft, so it is free to glide to and fro. [6] 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.

Glans: the free end of the penis and where the urethra opens into in placentals. The penile glans is absent in chimpanzees and bonobos. [20] The internal structures of the penis consist mainly of cavernous, erectile tissue, which is a collection of blood sinusoids separated by sheets of connective tissue (trabeculae).
The glans penis is a body of spongy erectile tissue that is moulded on the rounded ends of the two corpora cavernosa penis, [9] extending farther on their upper than on their lower surfaces. It is the expanded cap of the corpus spongiosum , [ 10 ] a sponge-like region that surrounds the male urethra within the penis maintaining it as a viable ...
The epididymis is a long whitish mass of tightly coiled tube. The sperm that are produced in the seminiferous tubules flow into the epididymis. During passage via the epididymis, the sperm undergo maturation and are concentrated by the action of ion channels located on the apical membrane of the epididymis.
