Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A plethysmographic response involves measuring changes in blood flow and engorgement of tissue, which is exactly what happens during penile erection. A muscular response (A) and an electromyographic response (B) do not accurately describe the physiological process of penile erection. Sphygmomanometric response (D) refers to measuring blood pressure and is not relevant to penile erection. Aberrant response (E) suggests an abnormal or atypical response, which is not accurate for penile erection as it is a normal physiological process.
