The clitoris, labia majora, labia minora, the mons pubis, the vestibule, the hymen, the vestibular bulb, and the vestibular glands are the components of the women’s external reproductive system.

Since the reproductive and urinary system elements are present in close proximity, it is also referred to as the genitourinary or urogenital system. The name ‘vulva’ refers to all of these structures combined. ‘Vulva’ is defined as a wrapping or covering. Female external genitalia appears wrapped or covered by skin folds when viewed from the outside. The labia majora and labia minora are the names of these skin folds. The vulva includes the labia majora and minora.
