Erectiletissue is tissue in the body that can become erect, usually by becoming engorged with blood.
Erectiletissue exists in places such as the corpora cavernosa of the penis and in the clitoris.
However, the erection of nipples is not due to erectiletissue, but due to the contraction of smooth muscle under the control of the autonomic nervous system.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs or the needs of his partner.
Erectile dysfunction has many causes, most of which are treatable, and is not an inevitable consequence of aging.
Because blood must stay in the penis to maintain rigidity, erectiletissue is enclosed by fibrous elastic sheathes (tunicae) that cinch to prevent blood from leaving the penis during erection.
