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.
