Ischiocavernosus Is Innervated by?

Ischiocavernosus is innervated by the perineal branch of the pudendal nerve (S2-4).

What nerve Innervates the ischiocavernosus?

The deep branch of the perineal nerve pierces the medial wall of the pudendal canal and goes on to innervate the levator ani and the external anal sphincter. After this, the deep branch passes to supply the bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus, superficial transverse perineal muscle, and bulb of the penis.

What does the ischiocavernosus cover?

Gross anatomy

In males, the ischiocavernosus muscle covers the crus of the penis where it attaches to both the ischial tuberosity and ischial ramus on its way to inserting on an aponeurosis on the surface of the corpus cavernosum.
