  2. Bulbospongiosus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbospongiosus_muscle

    The bulbospongiosus muscles (in older texts bulbocavernosus and, for female muscle, constrictor cunni) are a subgroup of the superficial muscles of the perineum. [1] They have a slightly different origin, insertion and function in males and females. In males, these muscles cover the bulb of the penis, while in females, they cover the vestibular ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_branches_of...

    The deep branch of the perineal nerve is a branch of the perineal nerve, itself a branch of the pudendal nerve. [1] It pierces the medial wall of the pudendal canal. [1]The dorsal nerve of the penis for males and the dorsal nerve of the clitoris for females is the terminal branch of the pudendal nerve.

  4. Bulb of vestibule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulb_of_vestibule

    Research indicates that the vestibular bulbs are more closely related to the clitoris than to the vestibule because of the similarity of the trabecular and erectile tissue within the clitoris and bulbs, and the absence of trabecular tissue in other genital organs, with the erectile tissue's trabecular nature allowing engorgement and expansion during sexual arousal. [1]

  6. Bartholin's gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholin's_gland

    Adenocarcinoma of the gland is rare and benign tumors and hyperplasia are even more rare. [18] Bartholin gland carcinoma [19] is a rare malignancy that occurs in 1% of vulvar cancers. This may be due to the presence of three different types of epithelial tissue. [8] Inflammation of the Skene's glands and Bartholin glands may appear similar to ...

  7. Vaginal support structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_support_structures

    The bulbospongiosus muscle is highlighted in red. The perineal body is a pyramidal structure of muscle and connective tissue and part of it is located between the anus and vagina. It is a tendon that is formed at the point where the bulbospongiosus muscle , superficial transverse perineal muscle , [ 7 ] and external anal sphincter muscle ...

  8. Clitoral erection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitoral_erection

    The ischiocavernosus and bulbospongiosus muscles contract to compress the dorsal vein of the clitoris to stop drainage of the clitoris, trapping the blood. [6] The erectile tissues are composed of endothelium-lined vascular spaces in a trabecular matrix, with the endothelium -lined vascular spaces surrounded by smooth muscle capable of ...

  9. Transverse perineal muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_perineal_muscles

    It arises by tendinous fibers from the inner and forepart of the ischial tuberosity and, running medially, is inserted into the central tendinous point of the perineum (perineal body), joining in this situation with the muscle of the opposite side, with the external anal sphincter muscle behind, and with the bulbospongiosus muscle in front.
