A corpus cavernosum penis (singular) (from Latin, characterised by "cavities/ hollows"[2] of the penis, pl.: corpora cavernosa) is one of a pair of sponge-like regions of erectile tissue, which contain most of the blood in the penis of several animals during an erection.[3][4][5][6]
It is homologous to the corpus cavernosum clitoridis in the female.
