Clitoris
2 linksThe clitoris ( or ) is a female sex organ present in mammals, ostriches and a limited number of other animals.
Unlike the penis, the male homologue (equivalent) to the clitoris, it usually does not contain the distal portion (or opening) of the urethra and is therefore not used for urination.
Reproductive system
1 linksThe reproductive system of an organism, also known as the genital system, is the biological system made up of all the anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction.
The final category are those used for copulation, and deposition of the spermatozoa (sperm) within the male, these include the penis, urethra, vas deferens, and Cowper's gland.
Vulva
1 linksThe vulva (plural: vulvas or vulvae; derived from Latin for wrapper or covering) consists of the external female sex organs.
The clitoris is the homologue of the penis, and the clitoral hood is the female equivalent of the male foreskin, and may be partially or completely hidden within the pudendal cleft.
Scrotum
0 linksThe scrotum or scrotal sac is an anatomical male reproductive structure located at the base of the penis that consists of a suspended dual-chambered sac of skin and smooth muscle.
Male sex hormones are secreted by the testes later in embryonic life to cause the development of secondary sex organs.
