corpus spongiosum

Just below them is another chamber called the corpus spongiosum.

This is homologous with the corpus spongiosum of the male anatomy.

- The urethra runs through the corpus spongiosum, conducting urine out of the body.

However, the female has no corpus spongiosum.

It is made up of three cylinders, two corpora cavernosa and one corpus spongiosum.

The arteries dilate, filling the corpora spongiosum and cavernosa with blood.

The corpus spongiosum is a single tubular structure located just below the corpora cavernosa.

The function of the corpus spongiosum is to prevent compression of the urethra during erection.

They usually pass between or through the two corpora cavernosa and through the corpus spongiosum, often causing a fair amount of bleeding.

Stage B (T2): Infiltrating periurethral muscle or corpus spongiosum.

Tumor invades corpus spongiosum or cavernosum.

Though not used today, the term "corpus cavernosum urethrae" was used for corpus spongiosum in older texts.

The term is used in anatomy for tissues that become filled with blood: corpus spongiosum, stratum spongiosum of the decidua.

The thin corpus spongiosum runs along the underside of the shaft, enveloping the urethra, and expands at the end to form the glans.

It has two corpora cavernosa (special pieces of muscle) next to each other and a corpus spongiosum (spongy muscle) between them.
