Reproductive Anatomy Flashcards

1
Q

Nerve supply of the vulva

A

Pudendal nerve gives branches of inferior rectal branch, divides into perineal nerve and dorsal nerve of the clitoris. Perineal nerve = sensory to the vulva. Dorsal nerve of clitoris = sensory. Sensation from the mons passes via the ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerves.
