Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The female external genitalia includes mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, hymen and clitoris
Mons pubis is a cushion of fatty tissue covered by skin and pubics hair.
The labia majora are fleshy folds of tissue, which extends down from mons pubis and surround the vaginal opening.
The labia minora are paired folds of tissue under the labia majora.
The opening of the vagina is often covered partially by a membrane called hymen.
The hymen is often torn during the first coitus.
However it can also be broken by a sudden fall or jolt, insertion of a vaginal tampon, active participation in some sports like horseback riding, cycling etc.
In some women the hymen persists even after coitus.
In fact the presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity of sexual experience.
The clitoris is a tiny finger like structure which lies at the upper junction of the two labia minora above the urethral opening.
