Bartholin's glands
Vulva Answer external genitalia or podenum
Labia majora Answer two rounded folds of adipose tissue extending from the mons
pubis down and around to the perineum.
contain the labia minora
- after puberty hair covers the outer surfaces of the labia, while the inner folds are
smooth and moist and contain sebaceous follicles
labia minora dark folds of skin within the labia majora
- joined in front at the clitoris, where they form a hood or prepuce
,- joined in back by a transverse fold, the frenulum or fourchette
mons pubis - rounded, fatty pad of adipose tissue overlying the symphysis pubis.
after puberty it becomes covered with hair in the shape of an inverted triangle
clitoris - small, pea-shaped erectile body, homologous to the male penis and very
sensitive to tactile stimulation
vestibule - labia structures surround this boatshaped space or cleft
urethral meatus - with the vestibule
many apertures
appears as a depression 2.5cm posterior to the clitoris
Paraurethral glands - Response small and numerous
their ducts are not identifiable but open posterior to the urethra at the 5 and 7 o'clock
positions
vaginal orifice - Response posterior to the urethral meatus, appears as either a thin
median slit or large orifice with irregular edges, depending on presentation of the

or may be completely absent
vestibular(bartholin) glands - on either side of hymen and posterior to the vaginal office
secrete a clear lubricating mucus during intercourse
-ducts are not visible but open in the groove between labia minora and hymen
