	Corpus cavernosum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A corpus cavernosum is one of a pair of a sponge-like regions of erectile tissue which contain most of the blood in the male penis during erection.
		A little blood enters the corpus spongiosum; the remainder engorges the corpora cavernosa, which expand to hold 90% of the blood involved in an erection, increasing both in length and in diameter.
		The female anatomy has no corpus spongiosum, but instead two vestibular bulbs beneath the skin of the labia minora (at the entrance to the vagina), which expand at the same time as the glans clitoris to cap the ends of the corpora cavernosa.

	Male Genital Anatomy
		The corpus spongiosum with the urethra is related to the ventral aspect of the penile shaft and expands distally to from the glans penis.
		Buck’s fascia is the deep layer of the penile fascia that covers both the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum in separate fascial compartments.
		The corpus spongiosum becomes bulbous where it is covered by the bulbospongiosus to form the urethral bulb.

	Erection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The corpus spongiosum is a single tubular structure located just above the corpora carvernonosa, and contains the male urethra, through which urine and semen pass during urination and ejaculation, respectively.
		The vessel system involved is known as the corpara cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum.
		Some prescription drugs are injected directly into the corpus cavernosum or used as urethral suppositories, directly causing erection even in the absence of sexual excitation, while others, such as Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra are taken orally and support erection that is due to sexual excitation.

	Penis - free-definition
		The corpus spongiosum lies on the underside (known also as the ventral side) of the penis; the two corpora cavernosa lie next to each other on the upper side (dorsal side).
		The urethra, which is the last part of the urinary tract, traverses the corpus spongiosum and its opening, known as the meatus, lies on the tip of the glans penis.
		The glans of the penis is homologous to the clitoral glans, the corpora cavernosa are homologous to the body of the clitoris, the corpus spongiosum is homologous to the vestibular bulbs beneath the labia minora, and the scrotum is homologous to the labia minora, labia majora and clitoral hood.

		The hemodynamics of the corpus spongiosum and glans penis are somewhat different from those of the corpora cavernosa.
		During erection, the arterial flow increases in a similar manner; however, the pressure in the corpus spongiosum and glans is only one-third to one-half that in the corpora cavernosa because the tunical covering (thin over the corpus spongiosum and virtually absent over the glans) ensures minimal venous occlusion.
		Nevertheless, because of the multiplicity of putative transmitters present in the corpus cavernosum and in perivascular nerves, further investigation is needed to elucidate the interactions between neurotransmitters and neuromodulators at the neuromuscular junction, and between the neural and endothelial control of vascular tone 36.

		The corpus spongiosum is surrounded by a thin, hypointense layer of tunica albuginea (white arrow).
		The difference in signal intensity between the corpus cavernosum (thick arrow) and the corpus spongiosum (thin arrow) is probably related to a difference in blood flow.

		The corpus spongiosum is a chamber of spongy tissue surrounding the urethra.
		Like the corpus spongiosum, the tissue is full of blood vessels and sinuses that fill with blood and expand during sexual arousal.
		Other important parts located internally are the cowper's gland (located just above the root of the corpus spongiosum) which produces pre-ejacuatory fluid, and the prostate gland, which blocks off the urethra at the opening to the bladder, to keep urine from entering the semen.

		The device of the present invention also applies pressure ventrally to the urethra and the corpus spongiosum, however, with the result that the urethra can be closed or substantially closed, while undue pressure on the superficial dorsal vein, the lateral superficial veins, the deep dorsal vein and the dorsal arteries and nerves is avoided.
		The present invention is particularly advantageous in that it avoids applying undue pressure to the lateral superficial veins and the central dorsal vascular group while ensuring that sufficient pressure is applied to urethra and the corpus spongiosum to prevent or substantially reduce leakage through the urethra.
		When the bladder is voided, the ventral bolster 54 is again accurately aligned with the urethra 30 and the corpus spongiosum 32, and the clip 76 is reinstalled by the patient.
