“And then the erect member, heavy with liquid”

Really?

REALLY!?!

“Heart Strings”

Better known as “tendinous cords”, located in the ventricles. These strands of collagen and elastin connect the papillary muscle and atrio-ventrical valves, preventing prolapse into the atria during ventricular constriction and allow the blood to flow into these areas.
