FUNCTION

Main function of Corpus Cavernosum Penis is Erection of the Penis. During erection muscles of the vessels of the Penis relax. It allows increased blood flow into the Corpus Cavernosum Penis. Blood fills the spaces inside it and it expands considerably. Tunica Albuginea is tough enough to prevent venous outflow from superficial veins. Thus a pressurised expansion is developed which is sustained as long as vessels muscles are relaxed.
