Study Notes

Penis Structure and Function

  • The three parts of the penis involved in sexual arousal, excretion of urine, and transfer of sperm are the root, shaft, and glans.

Erectile Structures

  • The two erectile structures within the shaft of the penis are the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum.

PC Muscle

  • The PC (Pubococcygeus) muscle is located in the pelvic floor.
  • The function of the PC muscle is to control the flow of semen and urine during ejaculation.

Scrotum

  • The scrotum is located in the male anatomy below the penis.
  • The function of the scrotum is to regulate the temperature of the testes and protect them from injury.

Glans and Frenulum

  • The function of the glans (head) of the penis is to provide sensation and facilitate sexual arousal.
  • The frenulum is a thin band of tissue located on the underside of the glans, connecting it to the shaft.
  • The function of the frenulum is to provide sensation and facilitate sexual arousal.

Corpora Cavernosa

  • The cavernous bodies (corpora cavernosa) are located within the shaft of the penis.
  • The corpora cavernosa are responsible for filling with blood during sexual arousal, leading to erection.
