The female anatomy consists of both external and internal organs. The female vulvas are located in the front of the female body between the legs. Women also have breasts located on their chest region and reproductive organs that are located internally in the pelvic region.
Anatomy of Female & External Sexual Organs
The vulva is made up of: Outer Lips The outer lips are closest to the legs and are where pubic hair grows on most adolescents and women. Inner Lips The inner lips are inside the outer lips and protect he inner vulva. They do not have pubic hair. The inner lips range in colors and smoothness for each female. Vagina Is a visible opening and in the middle of the vulva. It is space that leads to the woman’s reproductive organs. The vagina is expandable and on average can lengthen up to 12” to 14” during intercourse. Urethra Is the small opening above the vagina where urine is released from the bladder. It is not easily seen. Clitoris The clitoris is the female sexual organ. Located at the top of the vulva the clitoris is tip shaped. This is just the tip of the organ which goes further into the body. The clitoris is the female’s version of the male’s penis and is designed to provide physical pleasure when touched. The clitoris ranges from the size of a pea to as large as a fingertip. It can reach up to 5” inside the body. Anatomy of Female Internal Sex Organs 
The internal sexual organs are made up of: Ovaries Women have two ovaries which hold hundreds of thousands of eggs. Females are born with all the eggs they will have. Usually one ovary releases one egg each month, or ovulation. Fallopian Tubes There are two fallopian tubes which aid the travel of ovaries from the ovary to the uterus Uterus The uterus is an important organ for the process of pregnancy. The fertilized egg will implant itself on the uterus’ lining. Cervix The cervix is a passageway between the vagina and uterus. Female Breasts
