Document Summary
* spiral arteries extend full thickness of *external* * uterine gland produces mucous (nutrient rich) on surface of endometerine, helps fertilized egg implant. Presence of rugae like ridges helps with expansion (intercourse), helps with arousal. Junction (separates uterus from vagina) eiptheal layer = stratified layers, multiple layers that helps with coitus (protects against irritation and friction) G-spot anatomically = anterior wall, presence of the skene"s gland (lesser vestibular gland) = responsible for female ejaculation. Labia majora same relationship to the scrotum in males (longitudinal space) Prepuce = hood of clitoris, similar to the foreskin of the penis. Clitoris only one body of erectile tissue equivalent to the 2 erectile tissues in the penis (corpus spongiosum) Vestibular (greater) gland real gland, equivalent to the bulbo urethral gland in the male (first gland in the male to secrete mucosa the lubricate during arousal) External vestibule contains urethral orifice and vaginal orifice.
