Whether in reference to the anatomy of the human or other members of the Bilateria, the median plane, also called a mid-sagittal plane and related terms, is used to describe the sagittal plane as it bisects the body vertically through the midline marked by the navel, dividing the body exactly in left and right side. The term parasagittal plane ...
In female humans and other mammals, [1] the clitoral hood (also called preputium clitoridis, clitoral prepuce, and clitoral foreskin) [2] is a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the glans of the clitoris; it also covers the external clitoral shaft, develops as part of the labia minora and is homologous with the foreskin (also called the prepuce) in the male reproductive system.
A male and female human in the standard anatomical position Because animals can change orientation with respect to their environment, and because appendages like limbs and tentacles can change position with respect to the main body, terms to describe position need to refer to an animal when it is in its standard anatomical position .

From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
In amniotes, the clitoris (/ ˈ k l ɪ t ər ɪ s / ⓘ KLIT-ər-iss or / k l ɪ ˈ t ɔːr ɪ s / ⓘ klih-TOR-iss; pl.: clitorises or clitorides) is a female sex organ. [1] In humans, it is the vulva's most erogenous area and generally the primary anatomical source of female sexual pleasure. [2]
In human anatomy, the anatomical planes are defined in reference to a body in the upright or standing orientation. A transverse plane (also known as axial or horizontal plane ) is parallel to the ground; it separates the superior from the inferior , or the head from the feet.
An MRI study found that the midsagittal corpus callosum cross-sectional area is, after controlling for brain size, on average, proportionately larger in females. [ 15 ] Using diffusion tensor sequences on MRI machines, the rate at which molecules diffuse in and out of a specific area of tissue, anisotropy can be measured and used as an indirect ...
The most prevalent form of non-consensual genital alteration is that of female genital mutilation. This mostly involves the partial or complete removal of the vulva. [130] Female genital mutilation is carried out in thirty countries in Africa and Asia with more than 200 million girls being affected, and some women (as of 2018). [130]
