 Hey everybody, Dr. O here, let's talk about the external genitalia of the female. Collectively all the external genitalia are usually going to be called the vulva or the pudendum, so I usually say vulva. You can't see this here, but the mon's pubis would be the pad of fat that's located in the anterior over the pubic bone, and then behind that you'll see everything we're going to talk about here. So we have the labia majora and the labia minora, so labia means lips, majora means larger and minora means smaller. So the labia majora, they're going to have hair, that's one of the key differences. The labia majora do have hair, the labia minora are going to be hairless. The labia minora are also going to be usb darker and more pigmented. So the labia majora and the minora, they're both there to protect the opening to the urethra and the vagina. So that's going to be their primary function. What else? On the top there, the superior and anterior portion of the labia minora actually will come together to form that prep use over it, which is the same name we'd use for the foreskin of the male to cover the clitoris. So the clitoris, it's called the glans clitoris here, comes from the same embryologic tissue as the head of the penis, the glans penis would as well, and they both swell during sexual arousal. That seems to be their primary function there. Another thing you can't see here with external genitalia is the hymen. So the hymen is a partial membrane that covers the opening to the femur reproductor system. Lots of conversation about the hymen being used to tell if someone's a virgin, these kind of things. But it doesn't have to be there. It can be ruptured by lots of other things, including strenuous exercise. So I certainly wouldn't use that as any sort of marker for virginity, but that's the hymen. You've probably heard that term. So that's what it is. And lastly, you see the opening to the vagina is going to be in between the opening to the urethra and the anus. And then we see what else? We have the opening of the Bartholens glands. So the Bartholens glands or the greater vestibular glands, they're going to release their secretions during sexual arousal to lubricate the area. Okay, so those are your external genitalia. Hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Day. Be blessed.
