LABIA MINORA
- Referred to as the inner lips
- Located inside the labia majora.
- They are more sensitive and
responsive to touch than the labia
majora.
- It tightens during the intercourse.

Ovaries
-small organs on the ends of the Fallopian tubes
responsible for the production and release of eggs
(ova).
-Females are born with all of the eggs they will
ever produce.
-Ovaries alternate the release of eggs each month.
-Like testes, the ovaries produce hormones-
estrogen.
-This release of the ova is called ovulation.
