Vestibule
Vestibule is a triangular space bounded anteriorly by clitoris, posteriorly by the fourchette and on either side by labium minus. There are four opening into the vestibule.
Clitoris is a small cylindrical

Clitoris
Clitoris is a small cylindrical erectile a body, measuring about 2.5 cm situated in the most anterior part of the vulva. It consists of glans, a body ad two crura. The glans in covered by squamous epithelium and richly supplied with nerve. The vessels of the clitoris are connected with the vestibular bulb and are liable to be injured during childbirth. Clitoris is an analogue to the penis in the male, but it differs basically in being entirely separate from the urethra. It’s attached to the under surface of the symphysis pubis by the suspensory ligament.

Labia minora
Labia minora are two thick folds of skin, devoid of a fat, on either side just within the labia majora. Except in the parous women, they are only exposed when the labia majora are separated. Anteriorly, they each other in fonts and behind the clitoris to with each other in font and behind the clitoris to from the prepuce and frenulum respectively. the lower portion of the labia minora fuses across the midline to form a fold of skin known as fourchette. It is usually injured during a childbirth. Between the fourchette and the vaginal orifice is the fossa navicularis.
The labia minora do not contain hair follicle.
The folds contain connective tissues and numerous sebaceous glands, erectile muscle fibres and numerous vessels and nerve endings. It is homologous with the ventral aspect of the penis.
Labia majora

Gynaecology
Labia majora
The vulva is bounded on each side by the elevation of skin and subcutaneous tissue which form the labia majora. They are continuous where they join medially to form the posterior commissure in font of the anus. The inner surface of the labia majora are hairless and The labia majora are covered with a squamous epithelium and contain sebaceous glands, sweat glands and hair follicle. Beneath skin, there are dense connective tissue and adipose tissue. The adipose all tissue is richly supplied with venous plexus which may produce haematoma, if injured during childbirth. The labia majora are homologous with the scrotum in the male. The round ligaments terminate at its anterior third.

External genitalia
The vulva includes labia majora, mons veneris, clitoris,labia minora, vestibule and conventionally the perineum. Clitoris, vestibule and conventionally the perineum. These are all visible on external examination. It's therefore bounded anteriorly by the mons veneris, laterally by the labia majora and posteriorly by the perineum
