Answer to Question 1

The vulva consists of the following five organs that comprise the external female genitalia. These organs are:
1. Mons pubis is a pad of fatty tissue of triangular shape and, after puberty, covered with pubic hair. It may be referred to as the mons veneris or mound of Venus, and is the rounded area over the symphysis pubis.
2. Labia majora are the two folds of adipose tissue which are large liplike structures, lying on either side of the vaginal opening.
3. Labia minora are two folds of skin that lie within the labia majora and enclose the vestibule.
4. Vestibule is the cleft between the labia minora. It is approximately 4 to 5 cm long and 2 cm wide. Four major structures open into it: the urethra, the vagina, and two excretory ducts of the Bartholin glands.
5. Clitoris is a small organ consisting of sensitive erectile tissue that is homologous to the penis of the male. It is located between the anterior labial commissure and partially hidden by the anterior portion of the labia minora.

Answer to Question 2

1. The true capsule is a smooth, fibrous connective membrane that is loosely adherent to the surface of the kidney.
2. The perirenal fat is the adipose capsule that embeds each kidney in fatty tissue.
3. The renal fascia is a sheath of fibrous tissue that helps to anchor the kidney to the surrounding structures and helps to maintain its normal position.
