Which of the following is not compatible with penile erection?

  • A. parasympathetic stimulation
  • B. arterial dilation
  • C. venous compression
  • D. blood leaves erectile tissue
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: blood leaves erectile tissue. During penile erection, blood flows into the erectile tissue, causing the penis to become erect. Parasympathetic stimulation and arterial dilation are essential for promoting blood flow into the penis, while venous compression helps to trap blood within the erectile tissue, sustaining the erection. However, if blood were to leave the erectile tissue, it would result in a loss of erection. Therefore, choice D is not compatible with penile erection.
