FEMALE ANATOMY: VULVA
Vulva is the term used to describe the outside, visible parts of the female anatomy. This includes the labia (lips), the clitoris, and the urethral and vaginal openings.
Labia
There are two sets of labia: the labia majora, or outer lips, and the labia minora, or inner lips. The outer lips extend from the clitoris to the bottom of the vaginal opening. They are covered with hair and are composed of fatty tissue. The labia minora sit inside the labia majora and are not visible until a woman reaches puberty. The labia minora have little or no hair and extend from the clitoris, covering the urethra and the vaginal opening. Several STDs can cause visible symptoms in this area, including herpes, genital warts, and syphilis.
Clitoris
The clitoris is a small (about 2-3 cm) structure that sits at the top of the vulva. It is very sensitive and is analogous to the glans of the penis in men. It is partially covered by the labia minora. Stimulation of the clitoris is important in sexual arousal and orgasm.
