| Definitions |
The clitoris (TS:25-TS:28) is comprised of glans clitoris (distally), body of clitoris (proximally) and surrounded by the prepuce of female. The clitoris contains within it, bone of the os clitoridis, nerves, vasculature and lamina propria (connective tissue) and is surrounded by the skin of female prepuce. The clitoris also contains within it the clitoral urethra, which is linear, positioned ventrally within the clitoris and remains in contact with the ventral surface of the clitoris. An opening forms in the clitoral urethra, called the urethral meatus, located within the glans clitoris, which is seen at birth. The female urethra is also open at the proximal urethral meatus at the base of the clitoris until a week after birth. The proximal urethral meatus is closed by P8. The clitoral urethra forms a large, U-shaped urethral cleft that extends from the body of clitoris to the glans clitoris, and is surrounded by a solid, U-shaped lamina propria (of glans clitoris and body of clitoris), which are both surrounded by the lamina propria of prepuce. There is no preputial space. The clitoris is much smaller than the penis and the os clitoridis is minisucle compared to the size of the os penis. The clitoris does not contain cartilage or erectile tissues and does not contain epithelial spines. The clitoris is not mobile, it is ventrally tethered to the prepuce and does not lie within a preputial space. Derived from the genital tubercle of female. |
