 Corpus cavernosum of clitoris

The corpus cavernosum of clitoris is one of a pair of sponge-like regions of erectile tissue which contain most of the blood in the clitoris during clitoral erection.This is homologous to the corpus cavernosum penis in the male; the body of the clitoris contains erectile tissue in a pair of "corpora cavernosa" (literally "cave-like bodies"), with a recognizably similar structure.
