✅ Overview

Vulva (pudendum) is the term used for the external female genitalia. We use the word vagina often when we are actually referring to the vulva. It functions as a sensory tissue during sex, assists in directing flow of urine, and protects the internal female reproductive tract from infection.

✅ Structures

Vulva is a collective term for these anatomical structures:

*Mons pubis - a subcutaneous fat pad located anterior to the pubic symphysis. Formed by the fusion of the labia majora.

*Labia major - two hair-bearing external skin folds that extend from the mons pubis posteriorly to the posterior commissure, which is a depressing overlying the perineal body.
**Embryo (derived from labioscrotal swellings)

*Labia minor - hairless folds of skin which are within the labia majora. These folds actually fixed anteriorly to form the hood of the clitoris and extend posteriorly on either side of the vagina.
**Embryo (derived from urethral folds)

*Bartholin’s glands - secrete lubricating mucus from small ducts during sexual arousal. Located on either side of the vaginal orifice.

*Clitoris - located under the clitoral hood and it’s formed of erectile corpora cavernosa tissue, which becomes engorged with blood during sexual stimulation.
**Embryo (derived from genital tubercle)
