Clitoral Hood

In female human anatomy, the clitoral hood (also called preputium clitoridis and clitoral prepuce), is a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the glans of the clitoris; it also covers the external shaft and develops as part of the labia minora and is homologous with the foreskin (equally called prepuce) in male genitals.

Famous quotes containing the word hood:

    “Ben Battle was a soldier bold,
    And used to war’s alarms;
    But a cannon-ball took off his legs,
    So he laid down his arms.”
