The body of a woman-Umubiri w'umugore

What's the Difference between your sexual organs and your reproductive organs? Which give you sexual pleasure? Which get you pregnant? Before you learn HOW they work and what they do, you need to know WHAT they are.

EXTERNAL SEXUAL ORGANS

Comparing the first and second drawing of external organs, we see a difference. That difference is due to childbirth.

INTERNAL SEXUAL ORGANS: THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS

The first step in understanding the difference in external and external organs is to know the names of the various parts of your body and what it does. Not the slang, but the real names. External sex organs called the external genitalia and the internal organs called reproductive organs.

GLOSSARY OF FEMALE BODY PARTS

BRAIN A woman's most important sexual organ. The brain has the greatest influence on a woman's sexual response. For the most part, that's not true for a man. BREASTS The primary function of the female breast is to nourish a baby. Located on the front of the chest, the breasts are milk-producing glands. Small muscle fibers cause the nipples to become erect when stimulated by cold temperature, breast feeding, and sexual arousal. More information about your breasts can be found at Breasts Do More than Fill A Sweater CERVIX The end of the uterus. It lifts during sexual arousal. CHROMOSOME The genetic code or the blueprint of the human is carried in these parts of a cell. There are 46 in humans. 45 determine what you look like and how you function. Two determine your sex. XX means you are female. XY means you are male. CLITORIS A small area of spongy tissue that is rich in nerve endings and becomes engorged with blood during arousal and orgasm. It is covered by tissue called the hood which retracts or pull back during sex. Size varies and is not an indication of sexual response. More information about the Clitoris and it's role in sexuality can be found at ?????????????????????????????Female Sexual Response EGG Carries one half (23) the chromosomes to make a baby. Always carries an X sex chromosome. EROGENOUS ZONE An area of the body, that when stimulated with hamds, mouth or other means , gives sexual pleasure. ESTROGEN Estrogen signals an egg to begin to ripen in the ovaries. Estrogen also has an effect on breast growth. GENITALIA The External sex organs. G-SPOT A dime to half dollar sized area which is extremely sensitive and when stimulated gives an increase in sexual arousal. It is located just beneath the front surface of the vagina, between the pubic bone and bladder. There is some controversy as to whether it really exists, but some women report a very heightened arousal if their partner inserts two fingers into the vagina and strokes or presses on it. For some women, there is immediate orgasm when the G-spot is touched. Try it yourself. HYMEN A thin membrane, tissue, covering the opening of the vagina with an opening that allows the release of menstrual fluids. The hymen is broken with intercourse and that can be painful for some women. It can also be broken with tampon use or some athletic activities. A broken hymen does not mean that a woman isn't a virgin. LABIA MAJORA The outer lips of the vulva with pads of fatty tissue and are extremely sensitive to touch. Usually covered with pubic hair, they contain sweat and oil glands. The fluids from the glands can be sexually arousing to your partner. LABIA MINORA The inner lips of the vulva, which protect the clitoris, urethra, and vagina. They are inside the labia majora but have less fatty tissue padding. They are more sensitive that the labia majora. OVARIES The ovaries produce both the eggs for fertilization and two hormones. Estrogen and progesterone are the female sex hormones. If an ovary is hit by the penis during sex, it can be very painful. This happens very infrequently. PERINEUM The area of skin between the vagina and the anus. It is rich with nerve endings and is very sensitive. Stroking it can give great pleasure. PITUITARY GLAND The gland that produces the hormones FSH and LH. These hormones signal the ovaries when to produce estrogen or progesterone, the two female hormones. It also signals the ovaries when to start functioning at puberty (when you begin having periods). PROGESTERONE Progesterone signals the lining of the uterus, the endometrium, to change and become the nesting place for a fertilized egg. THYROID GLAND The master gland of the body. It must be working properly or your periods don't. URETHRA The opening that allows urine to flow from the body. It is not part of the sexual organs but it is located beneath the clitoris and in front of the vagina. Because of it's location, women can get bladder infections from intercourse if good hygiene isn't practiced. UTERUS The internal female reproductive organ which is the housing for a pregnancy. It goes through cyclic changes and shedding of its lining every month. That is menses or your period. The uterus goes through rhythmic contractions during orgasm. VAGINA Extends from the vaginal opening to the cervix. It contains glands that lubricate the vagina during arousal, intercourse, and orgasm. Also known as the birth canal. VULVA The collective name that all the external sexual organs are called.
