	Erectile tissue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Erectile tissue is tissue in the body that can become erect, usually by becoming engorged with blood.
		Erectile tissue exists in places such as the corpora cavernosa of the penis and in the clitoris.
		However, the erection of nipples is not due to erectile tissue, but due to the contraction of smooth muscle under the control of the autonomic nervous system.

	Erectile Disfunction
		Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs or the needs of his partner.
		Erectile dysfunction has many causes, most of which are treatable, and is not an inevitable consequence of aging.
		Because blood must stay in the penis to maintain rigidity, erectile tissue is enclosed by fibrous elastic sheathes (tunicae) that cinch to prevent blood from leaving the penis during erection.

	Handbook of Andrology
		The spongy erectile tissue is located in paired cylinders, called corpora cavernosa, which are located on the dorsum of the penis.
		The corpora cavernosal sinus tissue is supplied by a slightly eccentric central vessel (the cavernosal artery), which is derived from the pudendal artery, and branches to form the helicine arteries (Fig.2).
		Some of the basic physiology and anatomy of the corpora cavernosa tissue remains to be discovered; pathophysiological details of erectile dysfunction are needed, particularly in regards to the function and integrity of the sinusoidal smooth muscle.

	SIU SOM Histology ERG
		Erectile tissue contains a specialized arrangement of arteries, shunts, and venous sinusoids within a matrix of connective tissue and smooth muscle, forming "a highly structured criss-crossing of interconnected fibers and spaces that are tensed as the cylinder expands during erection.
		The erectile tissue is organized into paired dorsal corpora cavernosa and one ventral corpus spongiosum.
		Nevertheless, you should be able to observe several prominent features including erectile tissue of the corpora cavernosa with numerous interconnected vascular channels, the surrounding dense connective connective tissue of the tunical albuginea, conspicuous nerves and blood vessels, the urethra lined by transitional epithelium (urothelium), and keratinized epithelium of the skin.

	Dr Karl's Homework - Nipples and Erectile Tissue (26/1/2000)
		Erectile tissue is a special kind of tissue that swells and grows bigger, simply because blood flows into it, and can't get out.
		Erectile tissue has arteries that can carry blood into it, large spaces that can be filled with the trapped blood, and veins that can be blocked to trap the blood inside.
		In the human, you mainly find erectile tissue in the penis, in the clitoris, and in the nose.

	Erectile dysfunction
		When erectile dysfunction proves to be a pattern or a persistent problem, it can interfere with a man's self-image as well as his and his partner's sexual life.
		Erectile dysfunction may also be a sign of a physical or emotional problem that requires treatment.
		But if erectile dysfunction lasts longer than two months or is a recurring problem, see your doctor for a physical exam or for a referral to a doctor who specializes in erectile problems.

	Impotence (Erectile Dysfunction)
		Erectile tissue is rich in tiny pools of blood vessels called cavernous sinuses.
		Because erectile dysfunction is often due to blockage of oxygen in the arteries that effect the penis, other diseases that are caused by arterial blockage are associated with erectile dysfunction.
		Even if erectile dysfunction is caused by a physical problem, interpersonal, supportive, or behavioral therapy can be of help to a patient during all phases of the decision-making process regarding possible methods of treatment.

		With the second technique, the surgeon removes or pinches the tissue from the side of the penis opposite the plaque, which cancels out the bending effect.
		In extreme cases, the lack of blood flow can result in the death of tissue (gangrene), and amputation of the penis may be necessary.

	Cornell Sexual Medicine Program - Erectile Dysfunction - Erections
		The penis is an organ with paired erection chambers (corpora cavernosa), which are filled with spongy erectile tissue (corporal sinusoids) composed predominantly of muscle.
		Erection is a hydraulic event, regulated by hormones and nerves, which allow increased blood flow into and storage of blood within the erectile bodies leading to an increase in pressure and the development of rigidity (hardness).
		In the penis the hose is represented by the erection arteries, which rapidly carry blood into the erectile bodies and the valve mechanism, while complicated in its structure, ensures that the blood is trapped inside the erectile bodies until ejaculation occurs or the sexual stimulus has passed.

		Erectile dysfunction medications are dangerous when used with nitrate medications, such as nitroglycerin (Nitro-Dur, others), often prescribed to prevent or treat acute angina (chest pain due to coronary artery disease).
		Because NAION and erectile dysfunction share many of the same risk factors, it's unclear whether the drug or an underlying condition is responsible.

		Duplex ultrasound-Duplex ultrasound is used to evaluate blood flow, venous leak, signs of artherosclerosis, and scarring or calcification of erectile tissue.
		Oral medications used to treat erectile dysfunction include selective enzyme inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil [ViagraÂ®], vardenafil HCl [LevitraÂ®], tadalafil [CialisÂ®]) and yohimbine (YohimbineÂ®, YoconÂ®).

		Since the erectile body is a blood-containing structure, a vein would be most suitable as the grafting tissue.

	Prostate Cancer Treatment with IMRT Reduces Irradiation of Erectile Tissue at Fox Chase Cancer Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Now, a new study conducted at Fox Chase Cancer Center shows that the radiation delivered to erectile tissues can be reduced by as much as 60% without compromising treatment when using a highly sophisticated technology called IMRT.
		This maximizes the dose to the tumor where it is thickest and minimizes the dose near healthy tissue, enabling oncologists to administer high doses of radiation with extreme precision to the targeted prostate while sparing surrounding healthy organs.
		"Erectile tissues commonly receive significant doses of radiation during treatment for prostate cancer because they lie very close to the prostate," said Mark Buyyounouski, MD, MS, a resident at Fox Chase and co-author of the study.
