Deep artery of the penis/clitoris. The deep artery supplies the corpus cavernosum of the penis/clitoris, which is the major erectile body. Itis one of the two terminal branches of the internal pudendal artery, with the other one being the dorsal artery of the penis/clitoris. This artery supplies superficial structures. The artery of the bulb supplies blood to the bulb of the penis and the bulb of the vestibule. although the bulbs are erectile tissue, the corpus cavernosum is the main erectile body. The posterior labial/scrotal artery supplies exactly what you would guess-the posterior labia or scrotum. It is a branch of the perineal artery. Finally, the superficial external pudendal artery supplies the skin and superficial fascia of the upper medial thigh, as well as the skin of the pubic region. It is a superficial branch of the femoral artery.
