The nurse is preparing an outline for a class on the physiology of the male sexual response. Which event would the nurse identify as occurring first?
A) Sperm emission
B) Penile vasodilation
C) Psychological release
D) Ejaculation
B
Feedback:
With sexual stimulation, the arteries leading to the penis dilate and increase blood flow into erectile tissue. Blood accumulates, causing the penis to swell and elongate. Sperm emission (movement of sperm from the testes and fluid from the accessory glands) occurs with orgasm. Orgasm results in a pleasurable feeling of physiologic and psychological release. Ejaculation results in the discharge of semen from the urethra.
