Introduction[edit | edit source]
The female genital tract consists of the external genitalia or vulva that consists of ( mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibule, hymen, bartholin's glands, external urethra meatus, and skene's gland). The internal genital tract or reproductive system and consists of ( the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries)
External Genitalia/ Vulva[edit | edit source]
Mons Pubis/ Veneris[edit | edit source]
It is a bad of fat located anterior and cover the symphysis pubis underlying the skin, it is covered with hair at puberty.
Labia Majora[edit | edit source]
Two skin fleshy folds, extend posteriorly to mons pubis, the outer skin is covered by hair, the inner surface is smooth, hairless and contain sweat and sebaceous glands that produce lubricant secretion.
Labia Minora[edit | edit source]
Two hairless skin folds lies within and medial to the labia majora.it is about 2 inches wide and surrounds the openings to the vagina and urethra. They meet posteriorly forming skin folds called fourchette. Fourchette separated from hymen by depression named fossa navicularis.
It is rich in blood supply that gives it the bink color, during sexual stimulation it swells and becomes more sensitive to stimulation.
Clitoris[edit | edit source]
It is located between the upper end of the labia minora, formed of erectile corpora cavernosa tissue, and homologous to the penis in the male.
It is sensitive to sexual stimulation can become erect.
Vestibula[edit | edit source]
It is the area between the labia minora where the vagina and urethra open.
Hymen[edit | edit source]
It is a thin membrane of soft tissue covered by stratified squamous epithelium, lies deep to the vestibular orifice. and cover the vaginal orifice. Hymen has many shapes to allow menstrual blood to flow out of the vagina.
Bartholin's Glands[edit | edit source]
Bilateral racemes glands located at the sides of the vaginal orifice. Secret mucous that acts as a lubricant.
External Urethral Meatus[edit | edit source]
