The Clitoris - briefly worded:


Glans Clitoris
more or less visible
she sits beneath a hood (prepuce) formed by the junction of the inner labia
attached to the pubic bone by a ligament
consists of erectile tissue, that swells and hardens when charged with blood
surrounded by a capsule of fibroelastic tissue
all sizes and shapes

She surmounts the Body of the Clitoris:


Body of the Clitoris or Shaft
possibly partly visible - you can feel the Shaft under the flesh
connected with the Glans, not connected with the pubic bone
consists of erectile connective tissue, like Glans
surrounded by a capsule of fibroelastic tissue
pyramidical
about as big as the first joint of your thumb, 1-2 cm long, 2- 4 cm wide
most probably a variety of sizes and shapes

Extending from the Body are the Arms and Bulbs of the Clitoris:


Arms or Legs or Twin Crura or Roots
two Arms flare backwards into the body, towards the ends of the muscles that run up the inside of the thigh
consists of erectile tissue, like Glans
surrounded by a capsule of fibroelastic tissue
about 9 cm long, most probably all sizes
 


Bulbs of the Clitoris
two Bulbs that lie deep in the body behind the labia
they extend from the Body of the Clitoris and fill the space between Body and Arms
very close to the urethra, surrounding it on three sides (the fourth side of the urethra is embedded in the front wall of the vagina) - the urethra traverses the bulbs
consist of erectile tissue
surrounded by highly sensitive, delicate, thin skin (not by a capsule like Glans, Body and Arms)
about 3-7 cm long, most probably a variety of sizes


Nerves, blood, lymph, glands ...
there never have been any realistic maps of the area and we have no clear understanding yet!


Description based on the research work of Dr. Helen E. O'Connell and others.
