The erectile tissues associated with the penis, primarily the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum, are located surrounding the urethra. The corpora cavernosa are situated on either side of the urethra, while the corpus spongiosum, which contains the urethra, runs along the underside of the penis. This arrangement allows for the expansion and engorgement of these tissues during erection, facilitating sexual function.

What is the location of erectile tissue?
Erectile tissue is primarily located in the penis and the clitoris. In the penis, it comprises the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum, which fill with blood to facilitate erections.
