A short educational YouTube clip (uploaded Feb 21, 2024 by Anne Truong MD) comparing flaccid and erect penile states. The speaker explains that arterial enlargement fills the corpus cavernosum with blood, which then compresses veins against the tunica albuginea (visualized as a sausage wrapped in film), reducing venous outflow and sustaining erection.

The picture on the left is a flaccid or non erect. And you see that the muscles are kind of shrinking a little bit and the blood vessels are there. But then you see the picture on the right where erectus, where the arteries are enlarged. But as the arteries enlarge, it fills the corpus cavernosum, or the muscle, with blood. As the blood is filled, it then compresses the veins that are on the outside of the tunica albuginea. So imagine like a sausage that's wrapped around with a film, and when the corpus cavernosum engorges with blood that pushes against the veins and it compresses the veins.
