The female genital organs consist of an internal and an external group. The external genital organs include the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, Bartholin's glands, and clitoris. The area containing these organs is called the vulva. At the beginning of vulva, just inside the opening of the vagina, is the hymen, a mucous membrane. In virgins, the hymen usually encircles the opening like a tight ring, but it may completely cover the opening. The external genital organs have three main functions: Enabling sperm to enter the body, Protecting the internal genital organs from infectious organisms and Providing sexual pleasure The internal genital organs form a pathway (the genital tract). This pathway consists of the Vagina, Uterus, Fallopian tubes (oviducts) and Ovaries.
