2. 2 Corpus Cavernosum + 1 Corpus Spongiosum

32
Q

A
  1. IschioCavernosum (covering CRUS)
  2. Bulbospongiosum (covering the Bulb)
  3. Superficial Tranvserse Perineus

+ Crura & Bulb = erectile tissue*

FEMALES!!!!

  • superficial pouch = between Colles’ Fascia & Inferior Fascia of UG
35
Q

A

MUST IMAGINE MRI view (through legs)

(at the bottom)

  • SKIN
    1. Colles Fascia
    2. Superficial Pouch
  • Crura/Bulb
  • Muscle
    3. Inferior Fascia
    4. Deep Pouch
    5. Superior* Fascia
  • looking through legs –> SEE INFERIOR FASCIA FIRST*
36
