a 14.3 POJA-L6314+6315 Electron micrograph of smooth muscles in corpus spongiosum of the penis I (human)
Title: Electron micrograph of smooth muscles in corpus spongiosum of the penis I (human)
Description:
The penis consists of the paired corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum of the urethra-seminal duct. They are covered by the tunica albuginea (4), a tough and dense connective tissue with fibroelastic properties. The cavernous spaces are formed by fibro-collagenous strengths or stroma supported by smooth muscle cells to regulate the storage and blood flow in the cisternal spaces or vascular canals.
See also:
During erection the helicine arteries dilate and the vascular cisterns increase in size by filling with blood from these aforementioned arteries.
Keywords/Mesh: locomotor system, penis, erection, corpus spongiosum, artery, smooth muscle, helicine artery, histology, POJA collection
