Arterial and venous flow and pressure studies of the corpora cavernosa were performed to elucidate the hemodynamics of canine penile erection. Being able to induce erection by electrical stimulation we were able to study the functionally relevant parameters at different stages of penile erection. From our results we conclude that penile erection can be subdivided in 5 phases: (1) latent-, (2) tumescence-, (3) erection-, (4) rigidity- and (5) detumescence phase. Furthermore, a differentiation of these subdivisions is made by observing at the mechanism of the 5 different stages: phase 1 to 4 is an active phenomenon, the detumescence phase is passive only.

D010410 Penile Erection The state of the PENIS when the erectile tissue becomes filled or swollen (tumid) with BLOOD and causes the penis to become rigid and elevated. It is a complex process involving CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS; HORMONES; SMOOTH MUSCLES; and vascular functions.

D010413 Penis The external reproductive organ of males. It is composed of a mass of erectile tissue enclosed in three cylindrical fibrous compartments. Two of the three compartments, the corpus cavernosa, are placed side-by-side along the upper part of the organ. The third compartment below, the corpus spongiosum, houses the urethra.
