List and describe the structures that make up the vulva.

What will be an ideal response?


The external female genitals are the mons pubis, the clitoris, the labia majora, and the labia minora, collectively known as the vulva.

Mons veneris is a pad of fatty tissue that covers the area of the pubic bone about 6 inches below the navel.

Clitoris consists of the glans, hood, and shaft; it is the center of sexual arousal and becomes erect during arousal.

Labia majora are two folds of spongy flesh that enclose the labia minora, clitoris, urethral opening, and vaginal entrance.

Labia minora vary in appearance from woman to woman; they are small folds that meet to form clitoral hood and are sensitive to touch and swell during arousal.
