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:

    “Work—work—work,
    In the dull December light,
    And work—work—work,
    When the weather is warm and bright—
    While underneath the eaves
    The brooding swallows cling
    As if to show me their sunny backs
    And twit me with the spring.”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
