    Histology colleagues!  


    I recently came across this article (thanks to my colleague, Caley Orr, and CU Health Sci Library) published in 1995 investigating the presence of corpus spongiosum in the clitoris. Of course, I've always learned that this body of erectile tissue is absent in the clitoris, and the one clitoris tissue donated by UBC in the VMD seems to corroborate the absence of CS.  

    I haven't seen any other studies investigating this subject, so I am bringing this to the DHIG brain trust.  What are your thoughts?
