Amongst the former may be noted as the more common, erectile swelling and hypertrophy of the mucous membrane covering the inferior turbinated bones, and nasal polypi growing from the middle turbinal and middle meatal region.
These characters, and the fact that the probe can be passed round the greater part of the polypus, serve to differentiate this affection from the erectile swelling.
Erectile swelling of the inferior turbinated bodies is due to engorgement of the venous spaces contained in the mucous membrane.
When it is of a clear, watery nature, it is usually associated witherectile swelling of the inferior turbinated bodies.
The genital corpuscles of Krause and the corpuscles of Finger (Wollustkörperchen), the terminals of the nerves passing to the erectile tissue of the clitoris, undergo at this time a marked increase in size.

It was shown that the effect of indirect stimulus induced at first an erectile movement of the leaf, and that this was followed by a fall of the leaf on account of transverse transmission of excitation.
It is to be borne in mind that increase of torsion indicates increase of geotropic action, just as the erectile movement of the leaf in the normal position indicates the enhanced geotropic effect.
Superposition of the positive reaction of indirect stimulus induces erectile up-response followed by down movement due to transmitted excitatory impulse (Mimosa).
The leaf of Cassia exhibits as in the leaf of Mimosa a slight erectile movement after the thermal-noon at 2 p.
In the present case the positive reached the responding pulvinus after 30 seconds and induced an erectile movement of the leaf; the excitatory negative impulse reached the organ 4 minutes later and caused a rapid fall of the leaf.
In Cassia, as in Mimosa, light acting from above induces at first an erectilemovement which reaches a maximum; after this there is a neutralisation and reversal.
