vulva

• The mons pubis, a skin-covered pad of fat over the pelvic joint that is covered by coarse hair in the adult female.



• The clitoris, an erectile structure similar to the penis in males.



• The labia minor, which is composed of fatty tissue and surrounds the opening of the vagina.



• The labia major, which contains hair follicles and sweat and sebaceous glands; the labia major is modified on the inner surface by the labia minor, which is moist and does not contain hair follicles.



• Bartholin's glands, two bean-shaped glands located on either side of the vaginal opening that secrete lubricating fluid.
