what is the meaning of vulva?

Answer 1

The external genital organs of the female are collectively known as the vulva.

In human beings this consists of the labia majora and labia minora (while these names translate as "large" and "small" lips, often the "minora" can be larger, and protrude outside the "majora"), clitoris, opening of the urethra (meatus), and the opening of the vagina.

(In common speech, the term "vagina" is often used improperly to refer to the vulva or female genitals generally, even though strictly speaking the vagina is a specific internal structure and the vulva is the exterior genitalia only. Calling the vulva the vagina is akin to calling the mouth the throat.)
The soft mound at the front of the vulva (fatty tissue covering the pubic bone) is the mons pubis, or specifically for human females, the mons veneris or "mound of Venus". After puberty it is covered with pubic hair, the amount being determined primarily by heredity. The labia majora or large lips extend on either side of the vulva, and are also covered with pubic hair. The labia majora entirely or partially hide the other parts of the vulva. The colour of the outside skin of the labia majora is usually close to the overall skin colour of the individual, although there is considerable variation. The inside skin and mucus membrane are often pink or brownish.

The labia minora are two soft folds of skin within the labia majora and to either side of the opening of the vagina. Between them is the vulval vestibule. The clitoris is at the front of the vulva where the labia minora meet. The visible tip of the clitoris, the clitoral glans is entirely or partially covered by a 'hood' of tissue (the clitoral hood).

Below the clitoris and just in front of the vagina is the urethral opening. This is where urine passes from the bladder to the outside of the body.

The opening of the vagina is near the back (or bottom) end of the vulva. In females who have not engaged in penetrative sex, the opening of the vagina is sometimes partly covered by a membrane called the hymen. The hymen may rupture spontaneously during exercise, or be so minor as to not be noticable.

Slightly below and to the left and right of the vaginal opening are two Bartholin glands; when the female is sexually aroused, she produces vaginal lubrication which can allow for sexual stimulation and/or penetration.

The area between the vulva and the anus is the perineum. The perineum may tear during childbirth. To prevent this, a doctor may perform an episiotomy, surgically cutting the perineum, which some believe to be more sterile. However, some women report that a natural tear has a lower instance of infection and a quicker healing time.

The appearance of the vulva and the size of the various parts varies a great deal from one female to another, and it is common for the left and right sides to differ in appearance in an individual female.

Answer 5

The name that refers to all of the external female genitals — those you can see — is the vulva, meaning "covering". The mons, also called mons pubis or mons veneris, after the Roman goddess of love, is a soft mound of cushioning fatty tissue covered by skin and pubic hair (after puberty).
This region has numerous nerve endings, so touch or pressure here may lead to sexual arousal. Many women find that stimulation of the mons area can be as pleasurable as direct clitoral touch.

The labia are the visible parts of a woman's genitals, commonly called lips. There are outer lips (labia majora) and inner lips (labia minora). The labia majora are folds of skin, or fatty tissue, covering a thin layer of smooth muscle lying along each side of the vaginal opening.

After puberty, the sides of the outer lips are usually covered with hair. The labia majora contain numerous sweat glands, oil glands and nerve endings.

In their sexually unstimulated state, the outer lips usually are folded together, meeting in the middle to cover and protect the vaginal and urinary openings.

During sexual arousal, the labia majora swell and flatten out, exposing the vaginal opening. This is caused by blood collecting in the many vessels there.
