External Genitalia
- The labia minora and labia majora join in front of the symphysis pubis and merge with the skin of the perineum.
- The clitoris, corresponding to the penis in the male, contains sensory nerve endings and erectile tissue.
Vestibular Glands (Bartholin's Glands)
- The vestibular glands are situated near the vaginal opening, on either side of it.
Main Structures of External Genitalia
- The main structures of the external genitalia are the mons pubis, labia minora, labia majora, clitoris, opening of the urethra, and the vaginal opening.
Boundary of the Vulva
- The labia majora form the boundary of the vulva.
Location of Vestibular Glands
- The vestibular glands are located on either side of the vaginal opening.
Reception of Spermatozoa
- The vaginal opening is responsible for the reception of spermatozoa.
Nerve Supply to External Genitalia
- The pudendal nerve and its branches supply the external genitalia.
Arterial Supply to External Genitalia
- The external genitalia are supplied by the external pudendal arteries, obturator arteries, and internal pudendal arteries.
Venous Drainage of External Genitalia
