The two extremities of the vulva have been designated, respec-tively, the anterior and posterior commissures of the labia ; but theseterms, so far as they convey the idea of connecting bands between thelabia, are incorrect, for Luschka*has shown that the labia are direct-ly continuous with the mons Ve-neris in front and the perinaeum be-hind. The clitoris is a small, elongatedbody, situated beneath the so-calledanterior commissure. It resemblesthe penis in form and structure, butdiffers in possessing neither corpusspongiosum nor urethra. The clit-oris is divided into the crura, thecorpus, and the glans. The cruraare long, spindle-shaped processes,attached to the borders of the as-cending rami of the ischia and thedescending rami of the pubis.
