Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The vulva is the outside and the vagina is the inside. The transition zone between the vulva and vagina is called the vestibule. The main structures of the vulva are as follows: the mons, the labia majora and minora, the glans clitoris, and the vestibule. #2 The history of medicine is rife with examples of mansplaining and neglect of the female body. The clitoris, which was first described in 1000 a. d., was not considered important by Persian and Arab physicians. #3 The clitoris, being largely internal, is difficult to study. Anatomic studies using female cadavers to dissect the clitoris were allowed, but it is important to note the limitations of the work. #4 The clitoris is the only structure in the human body designed for pleasure. It is an inverted Y that sits on top of the urethra with two sets of arms that extend outwards. The root connects the clitoral body with the crura. |
