Quain's elements of anatomy . EMALE EEPEODUCTIVE ORGANS. ing to Cowpers glands in the male, are two reddish yellow, round or ovalbodies, measuring about half an inch in the longest diameter, lodgedone on each side of the commencement of the vagina, between it andthe erectores clitoridis muscles, beneath the superficial perineal fascia,and in front of the transverse muscles. Their ducts, which are longand single, run forward and open on the inner aspect of the nymphte,outside the hymen or carunculffi myrtiformes. Erectile tissue.—All the parts of the vulva are supplied abundantlywith blood-vessels, and in certain situations there are masses composedof venous plexuses, or erectile tissue, corresponding to those found inthe male. Besides the corpora cavernosa and glans clitoridis, alreadyreferred to, there are two large leech-shaped masses, the liulhi vestihuli(fig. G05,«), about an inch long, consisting of a network of veins, enclosedin a fibrous membrane, and lying one on each side of the vestibule, a FiiT. Fig. 605.—Fkont view of the erectile structures of the external oroans inTHE FEMALE (froiu Kobelt). f a, bulbus vestihuli; h, sphincter vaginte muscle ; e, e, venous plexus or pars inter-media ; /, glans clitoridis ; r/, connecting veins ; /(, dorsal vein of the clitoris; k, veinspassing beneath the pubes; I, the obturator vein. little behind the nymphfe. They are rather pointed at their upperextremities, and rounded below : they are suspended, as it were, to thecrura of the clitoris and the rami of the pubes, covered internally by themucous membrane, and embraced on the outer side by the fibres of theconstrictor vaginae muscle. They are together equivalent to the bulb ofthe urethra in the male, which, it will be remembered, presents traces ofa median division. In front of the bipartite bulb of the vestibule is asmaller plexus on each side, the vessels of which are directly continuouswith those of the bulbus vestibuH behind, and of the glans clitoridis
