(a) Mons Pubis: It is a cushion of fatty tissue covered by skin and pubic hair.
(b) Labia majora: These are fleshy folds of tissue, which extend down from the mons pubis and surround the vaginal opening.
(c) Labia minora: These are paired folds of tissue under the labia majora.
(d) Hymen: The opening of the vagina is often covered partially by a membrane called "hymen".
(e) Clitoris: It is a tiny finger-like structure which lies at the upper junction of the two labia minora above the urethral opening.
→ The hymen is often torn during the first coitus (Intercourse). However, it can also be broken by a sudden fall or jolt, insertion of a vaginal tampon, active participation in some sports like horseback riding, cycling, etc.
→ In some women the hymen persists even after coitus.
→ In fact, the presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience.
