The uro-genital sinus is therefore permanent in woman, and forms the vestibule,which has in front of it the clitoris, and, opening into it, the urethraand vagina. In the male a further development takes place (Fig. 145, IY). Thegenital eminence enlarges to form the penis, and the groove beneath itcloses so as to form the penial urethra.
