vulva

Examples of vulva in the following topics:

• Vulva

  • The vulva is the external genitalia of the female reproductive tract, situated immediately external to the genital orifice.
  • The vulva consists of the external genital organs of the female mammal.
  • The vulva also contains the opening of the female urethra, and thus serves the vital function of passing urine.
  • The soft mound at the front of the vulva, the mons pubis, is formed by fatty tissue covering the pubic bone.
  • The clitoris is located at the front of the vulva where the labia minora meet.

• Female Reproductive Anatomy

  • Among the external structures are the vulva, which consists of the mons pubis, clitoris, labia majora, labia minora, and the vestibular glands.
  • The vulva is an area associated with the vestibule that includes the structures found in the inguinal (groin) area of women.
  • The labia majora are a pair of elongated folds of tissue that run posterior from the mons pubis and enclose the other components of the vulva.
  • Several structures are on the outside of the body, such as the labia, vulva, and clitoris, while others, such as the ovaries and uterus, are internal.

• Vagina

  • In humans, this passage leads from the opening of the vulva to the uterus, but the vaginal tract ends at the cervix .
  • The vaginal opening is at the caudal end of the vulva behind the opening of the urethra.
  • The vagina and the inside of the vulva are a reddish-pink color, as are most healthy internal mucous membranes in mammals.
  • Research indicates that clitoral tissue extends considerably into the vulva and vagina.

• Episiotomy

  • The perineum is the short stretch of skin starting at the bottom of the vulva and extending to the anus.
  • The incision, which can be midline or at an angle from the posterior end of the vulva, is performed under local anesthetic (pudendal anesthesia), and is sutured closed after delivery.

• Female Sexual Response

  • For women, these changes include increased blood flow to the nipples, vulva, clitoris, and vaginal walls, and increased vaginal lubrication.

• Anatomy of the Female Reproductive System

  • These parts are internal; the vagina meets the external organs at the vulva, which includes the labia, clitoris, and urethra.

• Phylum Nematoda

  • The uterus has an external opening known as the vulva.
  • The embryo is released from the vulva during the gastrulation stage.

• Overview of the Male and Female Reproductive Systems

  • It contains three main parts: the vagina, which leads from the vulva, the vaginal opening, to the uterus; the uterus, which holds the developing fetus; and the ovaries, which produce the female's ova.
  • The vagina meets the outside at the vulva, which also includes the labia, clitoris, and urethra.

• RNA Oncogenic Viruses

  • Human papillomaviruses (HPV) have been linked to cancer of the cervix, anus, penis, vagina/vulva, and some cancers of the head and neck.

• Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

  • While the majority of the known types of HPV cause no symptoms in most people, some types can cause warts (verrucae), while others can – in a minority of cases – lead to cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, oropharynx and anus.
