Do you know how an Erection
Occurs?
The penis contains two chambers, called
the corpora cavernosa, which run the length of
the organ. A spongy tissue fills the chambers. The corpora
cavernosa are surrounded by a membrane, called the
tunica albuginea. The spongy tissue contains smooth
muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. The
urethra, which is the channel for urine and ejaculate, runs
along the underside of the corpora cavernosa
Erection begins with sensory and mental stimulation. Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause the muscles of the corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in and fill the open spaces. The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps to trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, thereby sustaining erection. Erection is reversed when muscles in the penis contract, stopping the inflow of blood and opening outflow channels.
