what is clitorous
The clitoris is a small projection of erectile tissue in the vulva of the female reproductive system.It contains thousands of nerve endings that make it an extremely sensitive organ. Touch stimulation of the nerve endings in the clitoris produces sensations of sexual pleasure.he prepuce, or hood, of the clitoris is a small fold of skin that covers and protects the clitoris anteriorly; the labia majora and labia minora surround and protect it in all other directions. The clitoris can be divided into three major regions: the glans, body, and crura.
The clitoris is a complex structure, and its size and sensitivity can vary. The glans (head) of the human clitoris is roughly the size and shape of a pea, and is estimated to have more than 8,000 sensory nerve endings.ith regard to nerve endings, the human clitoris's estimated 8,000 or more (for its glans or clitoral body as a whole) is commonly cited as being twice as many as the nerve endings found in the human penis (for its glans or body as a whole), and as more than any other part of the human body.
