What is Corpora cavernosa?
'''Corpora cavernosa''' are regions of [[biological tissue]] that are erectile (become hardened when they fill with blood). They are found in both men and women. [[Image:Строение пениса и клитора.png|thumb|150px|A cross cut diagram of the human [[penis]] (top) and [[clitoris]]]] == Men == {{main|Corpus cavernosum penis}} The '''corpus cavernosum penis''' is found in the [[penis]]. It is found in pairs which contain most of the [[blood]] in the male penis during erection. The two corpus cavernosa, along with the [[corpus spongiosum]] are the areas of tissue along the length of the penis. == Women == [[Image:Clitoris Anatomy.svg|lang=en|thumb|150px]] The '''corpus cavernosum clits''' is similar to the male corpus cavernosum. The body of the [[clitoris]] contains biological tissue that helps to create an erection. As in men, this tissue comes in a pair of '''corpora cavernosa'''. However, the female has no corpus spongiosum. Instead, there are two [[vestibular bulbs]] beneath the [[skin]] at the entrance to the [[vagina]]. {{Reproductive system}} [[Category:Reproductive system]] {{biology-stub}}
