Introduction to Clitoris
The clitoris is a small, sensitive organ located at the front of the vulva, just above the opening of the vagina. It consists of a pair of small, erectile tissue masses (the clitoral bulbs) and a thin shaft that extends upward from the bulbs. The clitoral shaft and hood are covered by the clitoral hood, a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the clitoris. The clitoris is highly sensitive to touch and is the most sensitive part of the female genitals.
Clitoris Location
The clitoris is a small, sensitive protrusion that is located at the top of the vulva, just above the opening to the vagina. It is typically about the size of a pea, but can vary in size from person to person.
The clitoris is covered by a thin layer of skin, and is surrounded by the clitoral hood, which is a fleshy fold of skin that helps to protect the clitoris. The clitoris is highly sensitive, and is packed with nerve endings that make it pleasurable to stimulate.
External Parts of the Clitoris
The clitoris is an external sex organ located in front of the vaginal opening. The visible portion of the clitoris is the clitoral hood, a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the clitoris. The clitoris is made up of a network of nerves and blood vessels and is highly sensitive to touch.
- The clitoris is a complex and sensitive organ that has a wide range of functions. It is located at the front of the vulva, just above the opening of the vagina. The external parts of the clitoris include the clitoral hood, the clitoral shaft, and the clitoral head or glans.
- The clitoral hood is a thin layer of skin that covers the clitoral shaft and clitoral head. The clitoral shaft is the main body of the clitoris. It is composed of erectile tissue and is surrounded by a network of blood vessels. The clitoral head or glans is the most sensitive part of the clitoris. It is composed of nerve endings and is highly sensitive to touch.
- The external parts of the clitoris are important for sexual arousal and pleasure. The clitoral shaft becomes erect when a woman is sexually aroused. The clitoral head or glans also becomes erect and it is highly sensitive to touch. Stimulation of the external parts of the clitoris can lead to orgasm and sexual pleasure.
Internal Parts of the Clitoris
The clitoral body is the visible external structure. The body is a small, cone-shaped protrusion that is typically about 1.5 cm in length. The body is composed of erectile tissue, which means that it swells and becomes firmer when sexually aroused. The body is surrounded by the clitoral hood, a thin fold of skin that covers the clitoris.
- The clitoral head is the most sensitive part of the clitoris. It is located at the top of the clitoral body, and is typically about the size of a pea. The head is composed of nerve endings, which makes it very sensitive to touch.
- The clitoral shaft is the part of the clitoris that extends from the body to the head. The shaft is also composed of erectile tissue, and becomes firmer when aroused.
