Made from head body and tail
Head most proximal part, stores sperm for maturation
Body - heavily coiled, connects the head to the tail
Tail - origin of vas deferens transports sperm to the prostatic portion of the urethra for ejaculation

Arterial supply to the penis

Answer 15

Penile arteries branch of the internal pudendal arteries

Question 16

Innervation to the penis

Answer 16

S2-s4 nerves

Corpus cavernosa- cavernosal nerves

Question 17

Where do parasympathetic nerve fibers of the penis arise from

Answer 17

Question 18

How does an erection happen

Answer 18

Arterial blood flow to corpus cavernosa increases causing increase in size and rigidity
Corposa spongiosum prevents the urethra from being compressed which would prevent ejaculation
