Female Anatomy Flashcards
Mons Veneris
Also referred to as mons, is a pad of fatty tissue covered by skin and pubic hair it lies immediately in front of the pubic bone is erotically sensitive and may serve as cushion for a woman’s pubic area during sex.
Vulva
The entire exterior female genitalia
Pubic hair
hair that appears on portions of the external genitalia in both sexes puberty
Labia majora
Outer lips fleshy skinfold partially covered in pubic hair that extend from the Mons, they are padded with fatty tissue and are hairy on the surface is nearest the thighs.
Function: erotically sensitive
Labia minora
Inner lips; thin, hairless folds of skin located between the labia majora and immediately flanking the vestibule. The labia minora meet at the back and at the front, where they form the clitoral hood.
Function: very erotically sensitive, swell due to vasocongestion
Vestibule
The potential space between the left and right labia minora
Vasocongestion
The swelling and darkening of the labia minora as they fill with blood during sexual arousal.
Clitoris
The erectile organ in females, the external portion is located at the junction of the labia menorah, just in front of the vestibule.
Clitoral glans
A small but highly sensitive knob of tissue positioned at the front of the vestibule it is about the size of the pearl and like a pearl it’s size can vary. It is covered or partly covered by the clitoral hood the but can be made visible by gently retracting the the hood.
Clitoral shaft
Internal portion of the clitoris about 1 inch or 2 to 3 cm long run upward from the glands under the hood.
Corpus cavernosum:
Pl. corpus cavernosa
Even have to elongated erectile structures within the clitoris a penis that also extend backwards into the pelvic floor
Corpus spongiosum
A single midline erectile structure In both sexes, it fills the glans.
Smegma
A whitish greasy secretion that builds up under the hood of the critters or the foreskin of the penis
Crura
Internal extensions of the Corprate cavernosa of the penis or the clitoris.
Clitoral hood
(Prepuce) hood that covers the clitorous, located where the labia minora meet
