Really Dirty Nerve Joke

Straight from the mouth of one of Ross's elderly anatomy professors:

What nerve stimulates the clitoris? Answer.

We were absolutely dumfounded when we heard it uttered. They are such sweet, proper old men, and we cover our mouths if we let a curse word accidentally slip in front of them (but not me cuz I don't swear at school). An upper semester said they have lots of jokes like this and some much worse. They do a good job- we will never forget it now!

And just so you have more "walk around knowledge" the hypogastric nerve is responsible for the male ejaculation, the pelvic nerve is responsible for male erection, and the pudendal nerve is responsible for "it's awareness of it's surroundings." Swell huh? Yea, I didn't need to know that either, but I've been dieing to share it with the world all week.

The hypogastric is responsible for ejaculation, "Sympathetic..Shoot". The pelvic is responsible for erection "Parasymp...Point". Just didn't want you to get it wrong for the final!!!

That is the best way I've heard to remember it. So many finals next week, but then 2 weeks of GONG BEACH!

Any link between the pelvic and higher brain function? It seems to me that they must be on totally different circuits, while the latter may be easily pre-empted by the former.

Neutering helps regain most brain function, but is never 100% in the male species.

I suppose for some, neutering would be the equivalent of getting a lobotomy.
