Anatomy

Areas of the clitoris include the glans, body, crura

The clitoral glans (glans clitoridis) is an external portion of the clitoris. The vulva (from Latin, vulva, plural vulvae or vulvas; see etymology) is the region of the external genital organs In Female Human Anatomy, the clitoral hood, (also called preputium clitoridis and clitoral prepuce) is a fold of Skin The labia minora (singular labium minus) or nymphae are two longitudinal Cutaneous folds on the human Vulva. Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. Elsevier, the world's largest Publisher of Medical and Scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group The clitoris is a sexual organ that is present only in Female Mammals In humans the visible button-like portion is located near the Anterior

It is covered by the clitoral hood, which is also external and attached to the labia minora. In Female Human Anatomy, the clitoral hood, (also called preputium clitoridis and clitoral prepuce) is a fold of Skin The labia minora (singular labium minus) or nymphae are two longitudinal Cutaneous folds on the human Vulva. It is attached to the frenulum clitoridis, which is also attached to the labia minora. The Frenulum clitoridis (also known as the Crus glandis clitoridis) is a Frenulum on the under-surface of the Clitoral glans, created by the two medial

The clitoral glans is attached to the clitoral body, which is internal. Anatomy The clitoral body corpus clitoridis is an internal portion of the Clitoris.

Physiology

Shows the abundance of nerve endings on the clitoral glans, causing it to be very sensitive to the touch

The head or glans of the clitoris is roughly the size and shape of a pea, although it can be significantly larger or smaller. A pea (inaccurately called a '''sweet pea''' by food distubutors is most commonly the small spherical Seed or the seed-pod of the Legume Pisum The clitoral glans is highly sensitive, containing as many nerve endings as the analogous organ in males, the glans penis, making it particularly well-suited for sexual stimulation. The glans penis (or simply glans) is the sensitive tip of the Penis. Sexual stimulation is any stimulus that leads to sexual arousal or Orgasm. During arousal, the glans becomes engorged with blood and retracts into the clitoral hood. ^[1]
