The dartos is a thin layer of smooth muscle tissue. In the male it is the tunica
dartos found within the scrotum. It originates from the subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum and inserts in the fibrous septum. It is innervated by a branch of the genitofemoral nerve. In the female, this thin muscle is referred to as the dartos mulierbris. It is a very thin layer of smooth muscle that originates in the labia majora. It is less well-developed than the male tunica dartos. Research Dartos
