Examples of clitoris in the following topics:
-
- The clitoris is located at the front of the vulva where the labia minora meet.
- The visible portion of the clitoris is the clitoral glans, roughly the size and shape of a pea.
- The point where the labia minora attach to the clitoris is called the frenulum clitoridis.
- A prepuce, the clitoral hood, normally covers and protects the clitoris; however, in women with particularly large clitorises or small prepuces, the clitoris may be partially or wholly exposed.
- The urethral opening (meatus) is located below the clitoris and just in front of the vagina.
-
- For women, these changes include increased blood flow to the nipples, vulva, clitoris, and vaginal walls, and increased vaginal lubrication.
- Further stimulation can lead to more vaginal wetness and further engorgement and swelling of the clitoris and the labia, along with increased redness or darkening of the skin in these areas.
-
- These parts are internal; the vagina meets the external organs at the vulva, which includes the labia, clitoris, and urethra.
- The external components include the mons pubis, pudendal cleft, labia majora, labia minora, Bartholin's glands, and clitoris.
-
- The various parts of the male penis are homologous to parts of the female clitoris:
- This diagram compares the structure of the penis to the clitoris.
-
- Circumcision is the surgical removal of either the foreskin in males, or the clitoris and labia in females.
-
- The extra androgen does not affect a baby boy's physical development, but in baby girls it can enlarge the clitoris so that it resembles a penis.
-
- The uterus is essential in sexual response by directing blood flow to the pelvis and to the external genitalia, including the ovaries, vagina, labia, and clitoris.
-
- In females, the pubic symphysis is intimately close to the clitoris.
-
- The vagina meets the outside at the vulva, which also includes the labia, clitoris, and urethra.
