Final answer:
The erectile tissue covered by skeletal muscles and its innervation are significant for male sexual response and reproduction.
Step-by-step explanation:
The male reproductive system heavily relies on the erectile tissue that is protected by the skeletal muscles. An erection is the result of blood filling the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum, two columns of erectile tissue in the pen*s, during sexual excitement.
An erection is facilitated and maintained in part by the skeletal muscles surrounding the erectile tissue. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve systems in humans both control how the erectile tissue is innervated.
The sympathetic nervous system is the cause of the pen*s's vasoconstriction, which lowers blood flow and prevents erection. The parasympathetic nervous system, on the other hand, causes vasodilation, which increases blood flow into the erectile tissue and causes an erection.
