Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-004888
The visible, external tip of the clitoris, located where the labia minora meet anteriorly. This small, pea-sized structure is composed of erectile tissue and is densely packed with nerve endings, making it the most sensitive erogenous zone in the female body. It is the developmental homologue of the glans penis in males.
