PARTS OF VAGINA

Clitoris

Small fleshy nub located just above the vagina and urethra and inside the labia. Homologous
to the head of the penis. Covered by a "hood" of skin. When rubbed, causes intense sexual pleasure.

Clitoris Hood

The clitoral hood is formed during the fetal stage by the cellular lamella.The cellular lamella
grows down on the dorsal side of the clitoris and is eventually fused with the clitoris.

Inner Labia

The labia minora extend from the clitoris obliquely downward, laterally, and backward on
either side of the vulval vestibule, ending between the bottom of the vulval vestibule and the labia
major. The posterior ends (bottom) of the labia minora are usually joined across the middle line by a
fold of skin, named the frenulum of labia minora or fourchette.

Urethral Opening

The urethra opens into the vestibule, the area between the labia minora. The urethral
opening sits just in front of the vaginal opening. The urethra is lined by a layer of cells called the
epithelium.

Vagina

The muscular tube leading from the external genitals to the cervix of the uterus in women and
most female mammals.

Anus
The opening at the end of the alimentary canal through which solid waste matter leaves the
body.
Penis

The male genital organ of higher vertebrates, carrying the duct for the transfer of sperm
during copulation. In humans and most other mammals, it consists largely of erectile tissue and
serves also for the elimination of urine.

Urethra

The duct by which urine is conveyed out of the body from the bladder, and which in male
vertebrates also conveys semen.

Testicle

The testicles (also called testes or gonads) are the male sex glands. They are located behind
the penis in a pouch of skin called the scrotum. The testicles produce and store sperm, and they are
also the body's main source of male hormones (testosterone).
Bladder

The urinary bladder is a muscular sac in the pelvis, just above and behind the pubic bone.
When empty, the bladder is about the size and shape of a pear. Urine is made in the kidneys and
travels down two tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be
infrequent and controlled.

Prostate Gland

During ejaculation these muscle cells contract and forcefully press the fluid that has been
stored in the prostate out into the urethra. This causes the fluid and the sperm cells, together with fluid
from other glands, to combine to form semen, which is then released

Vas deferens

The ductus deferens, also known as the vas deferens, is a tiny muscular tube in the male
reproductive system that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. There is a pair of
these ducts in the male body, with one duct carrying sperm from each testis to the left and right
ejaculatory ducts.

Scrotum

The scrotum (or scrotal sac) is a part of the external male genitalia located behind and
underneath the penis. It is the small, muscular sac that contains and protects the testicles, blood
vessels, and part of the spermatic cord.

Epididymis

The epididymis is a tightly coiled mass of thin tubes that carries sperm from the testes to the
ductus deferens in the male reproductive system. Sperm matures as it passes through the epididymis
so that it is ready to fertilize ova by the time it enters the ductus deferens.

Seminal Vesicle

Each of a pair of glands which open into the vas deferens near to its junction with the urethra
and secrete many of the components of semen.
