Pronunciation: [ɪɹˈɛkta͡ɪl tˈɪʃuː] (IPA) 
Erectile tissue refers to the specialized tissue that swells and stiffens in response to sexual arousal, allowing for the male and female genitalia to become engorged and sensitive during sexual activity. There are various synonyms for erectile tissue, including cavernous tissue, corpora cavernosa (specifically referring to the tissue in the penis), and clitoral erectile tissue (referring to the tissue in the clitoris). These tissues are composed of spongy, cavernous material that becomes engorged with blood during sexual activity, creating rigidity and sensitivity. The role of erectile tissue is critical for sexual function in both males and females, and understanding the different terms used to describe it can help increase knowledge and awareness about sexual health.
