Document Summary

Fatty tissue that covers the public bone above the clitoris. Themons becomes covered in hair when you hit puberty. The clitorus and penis develop from the same embryonic tissue. Many religions remove the hood of the clitoris. Area within the labia minora that contains the opening to the vagina. Urine passes from the female"s body through the urethral opening. The opening may pose hygienic problems for sexually active women. Across the opening is a hymen which is present until a woman has intercourse. Structures that underlie the external sex organs. Muscular rings (sphincters) that constrict bodily openings such as the vaginal and anal openings. Clitoral crura are wing-shaped, leg-like structures that attach the clitorus to the pubic bone. Vestibular bulbs are attached to the clitoris at the top and extend downward along the sides of the opening. Bartholin"s glands lie just inside the minor lips, they secrete a couple drops of lubrication before an orgasm.
