Helicine arteries of penis Helicine arteries of penis The helicine arteries of penis are arteries in the penis. They are found in the corpora cavernosa penis. They are involved in the process of erection. On entering the cavernous structure from the deep artery of the penis the arteries divide into branches, which are supported and enclosed by the trabeculae. Some of these arteries end in a capillary net-work, the branches of which open directly into the cavernous spaces; others assume a tendril-like appearance, and form convoluted and somewhat dilated vessels, which were named by Rosenmüller "helicine arteries". These arteries have two unique features: an
Circulatory collapse form of circulatory collapse is circulatory insufficiency. A very large range of medical conditions can cause circulatory collapse. These include, but are not limited to: The effects of a circulatory collapse vary based on the type of collapse it is. Peripheral collapses usually involve abnormally low blood pressure and result in collapsed arteries and/or veins, leading to oxygen deprivation to tissues, organs, and limbs. Acute collapse can result from heart failure causing the primary vessels of the heart to collapse, perhaps combined with cardiac arrest. Circulatory collapse A circulatory collapse is defined as a general or specific failure of the
