CORPUS CAVERNOSUM PENIS Meaning and Definition

1. The term "corpus cavernosum penis" is a noun referring to one of the structures within the male reproductive system. Corpus cavernosum penis is a part of the penis that plays a crucial role in the process of erection.

   The word "corpus" originates from Latin, meaning "body" or "substance," while "cavernosum" is derived from the Latin word "caverna," which means "cave" or "cavern." A penis, in this context, refers to the male external genitalia used for sexual intercourse and urine excretion.

   The corpus cavernosum penis consists of two elongated cylindrical chambers that run along the length of the penis, positioned parallel to each other. The chambers are made up of spongy erectile tissue, rich in blood vessels. During sexual arousal, these blood vessels dilate, allowing a higher amount of blood to fill the spaces within the corpus cavernosum penis. The increased blood flow causes the chambers to expand, resulting in an erection – a firm and rigid state of the penis necessary for sexual intercourse.

   Together with the corpus spongiosum and the urethra, the corpus cavernosum penis ensures proper functioning of the male reproductive system. It is worth noting that any disruption in the blood flow or damage to the corpus cavernosum penis can lead to erectile dysfunction, a condition where achieving or maintaining an erection becomes challenging.

2. One of two columns of erectile tissue lying side by side on the dorsum of the penis; they are separated posteriorly, forming the crura penis, and are attached to the inner portion of the arch of the pubis.
