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.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Bulbospongiosus muscle

Circumcision

Circumcision is a procedure that removes the foreskin from the human penis.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Circumcision

Clitoris

In amniotes, the clitoris (or;: clitorises or clitorides) is a female sex organ.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Clitoris

Conus medullaris

The conus medullaris (Latin for "medullary cone") or conus terminalis is the tapered, lower end of the spinal cord.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Conus medullaris

External anal sphincter

The external anal sphincter (or sphincter ani externus) is an oval tube of skeletal muscle fibers.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and External anal sphincter

Foley catheter

In urology, a Foley catheter is one of many types of urinary catheters (UC).

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Foley catheter

Foreskin

In male human anatomy, the foreskin, also known as the prepuce, is the double-layered fold of skin, mucosal and muscular tissue at the distal end of the human penis that covers the glans and the urinary meatus.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Foreskin

Glans penis

In male human anatomy, the glans penis or penile glans, commonly referred to as the glans, (from Latin glans meaning "acorn") is the bulbous structure at the distal end of the human penis that is the human male's most sensitive erogenous zone and primary anatomical source of sexual pleasure.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Glans penis

Human penis

In human anatomy, the penis (penises or penes; from the Latin pēnis, initially "tail") is an external male sex organ (intromittent organ) that serves as a passage for excretion of urine and ejaculation of semen.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Human penis

Internal anal sphincter

The internal anal sphincter, IAS, or sphincter ani internus is a ring of smooth muscle that surrounds about 2.5–4.0 cm of the anal canal.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Internal anal sphincter

Perioperative

The perioperative period is the period of a patient's surgical procedure.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Perioperative

Prostatic urethra

The prostatic urethra, the widest and most dilatable part of the urethra canal, is about 3 cm long.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Prostatic urethra

Reflex

In biology, a reflex, or reflex action, is an involuntary, unplanned sequence or action and nearly instantaneous response to a stimulus. Bulbocavernosus reflex and reflex are reflexes.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Reflex

Reflex arc

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. Bulbocavernosus reflex and reflex arc are reflexes.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Reflex arc

Sacral spinal nerve 2

The sacral spinal nerve 2 (S2) is a spinal nerve of the sacral segment.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Sacral spinal nerve 2

Sacral spinal nerve 4

The sacral spinal nerve 4 (S4) is a spinal nerve of the sacral segment.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Sacral spinal nerve 4

Spinal cord injury

A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that causes temporary or permanent changes in its function.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Spinal cord injury

Spinal nerve

A spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, which carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Spinal nerve

Spinal shock

Spinal shock was first explored by Whytt in 1750 as a loss of sensation accompanied by motor paralysis with initial loss but gradual recovery of reflexes, following a spinal cord injury (SCI) – most often a complete transection.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Spinal shock

Vulva

In mammals, the vulva (vulvas or vulvae) consists of the external female genitalia.

See Bulbocavernosus reflex and Vulva
