Penis and Scrotum

The autonomic supply to the penile urethra and the cavernous tissue comes from the prostatic plexus. Somatic fibers from the pudendal nerve (S2-4) supply the external sphincter. The dorsal nerve of the penis, the first branch of the pudendal nerve, is its main sensory supply. The scrotum is innervated anteriorly by the ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerves (L1 and L2) and posteriorly by perineal branches of the pudendal nerve (S2 and S4).[3]
