Corpus Cavernosum
Description
The Corpus Cavernosum is a pair of sponge-like, cylindrical channels that form the Erectile Tissue of the Penis (and Clitoris).
Biological Function of the Corpus Cavernosum
Sexual System
The Corpus Cavernosum (when filled with Blood) (together with the Corpus Spongiosum) forms the expanded tissue that characterizes Erections - when not filled with Blood, Erection of the Penis is not possible:
When the Smooth Muscle of the Corpus Cavernosum relaxes, it permits more Blood to flow into the Penis, thereby promoting Erection.
