Bucephalus and Alexander were inseparable; only Alexander could ride him. Amid wild laughter, Alexander approached the horse he would name Bucephalus calmly. He had realized something the others had not --- the horse was afraid of his own shadow.
Vulvar Anatomy. The vulva is the external part of the female genitalia. It protects a womanâs sexual organs, urinary opening, vestibule and vagina and is the center of much of a womanâs sexual response. The outer and inner âlipsâ of the vulva are called the labia majora and labia minora.
External Female Genital Organs. The area between the opening of the vagina and the anus, below the labia majora, is called the perineum. It varies in length from almost 1 to more than 2 inches (2 to 5 centimeters). The labia majora and the perineum are covered with skin similar to that on the rest of the body. In contrast, the labia minora are lined with a mucous membrane, whose surface is kept moist by fluid secreted by specialized cells. The opening to the vagina is called the introitus.
