mons pubis
- mounded, fatty like tissue that covers & protects symphysis pubis
- during puberty genital hair growth covers this pad of tissue
*X
labia majora
- covers labia minora
- helps keep introitus closed = helps prevent infection
- erectile tissue found here
*F
labia minora
- surrounded by majora
- smaller, non-fatty folds
- usually more prominent in children & postmenopausal
- plays critical role in sex
- erectile tissue found here
*G
labia minora anterior portion
- forms prepuce of clitoris
- assists in enclosing opening of urethra & vag
clitoris
,- located superiorly
- sensitive, small organ
- capped externally by glands --> that are covered by hood --> formed in part by fusion
of upper part of 2 labia minora
- plays critical role in sex
- rich nerve & vascular supply --> engorges with blood during sex = enlarged & tense
clitoris
- large amount of erectile tissue
*C
urethral orifice
- extends from base of bladder & exits externally
- passes thru urogenital diaphragm --> circular band of skeletal muscle that forms
external urethral sphincter
- for urination sphincter must be relaxed --> usually in state of contraction
*H
vag introitus/orifice
- opening/canal
*J
skene's glands
- aka paraurethral glands
- "female prostate"
- cxes female "ejaculation" --> white, viscous secretion --> helps to lubricate external
genitalia during sex
, - open directly into vulva, adjacent to distal urethra
- situated on each side of urethral meatus
*2 small holes under urethral orifice
vestibule
*D
bartholin's glands
- on each side of vestibule --> @ 4 & 8 o'clock
- secretes lubricating mucus into introitus during sexual excitement
- each gland had duct that opens btwn minora & hymen
- if blocked --> can lead to infection, cyst, pain
*GREEN PART
ovaries
- produce gametes/ova/eggs
- produce sex hormones --> ESTROGEN & PROGESTERONE
- broad ligament is main supporting membrane of internal genital organs
- located near lateral walls of pelvic cavity
fallopian tubes
- pair of tube like structures originating from cornua (horn) of uterus
- distal ends located near ovaries
- extends medially & inferiorly from infundibulum into superiorlateral cavity of uterine
opening
- muscularis (middle layer) --> creates wavelike contractions to move ova/egg towards
to uterus
