How Does Vascular Tissue Contribute to Sexual Arousal?
Vascular tissues, particularly in the genital areas, are crucial for sexual arousal. The process is largely mediated by the parasympathetic nervous system, which induces the relaxation of smooth muscle in the blood vessels, leading to increased blood flow and engorgement of erectile tissues. This mechanism is essential for achieving and maintaining an erection in males and vaginal lubrication in females.
