34
Q

What is the function of the ischiocavernossus muscles?

A

Compress crus to erect clitoris with blood

35
Q

What two ways is the bulbospongious functional in females?

A
  1. compress deep dorsal vein by wrapping around clitoris to engorge erection
  2. sphincter of vaginal oraface
36
Q

What is the blood supply of the clitoris?

A

Dorsal artery to clitoris
Deep artery to clitoris
-from the
Dorsal nerve

37
Q

-from internal pudendal artery

38
Q

What clitoral artery is for erection?

A
deep artery 
(dorsal artery supplies more superficial structures)
39

40
Q

What parasympathetic

A

Preganglionic PNS cells bodies in S2/S4
Goes to inferior hypogastric plexus lining the floor of the pelvis
