Right: Vaginal lubrication sometimes becomes visible after sexual arousal. Vaginal lubrication is a naturally produced fluid that lubricates a woman's vagina. Vaginal lubrication is always present, but production increases significantly near ovulation and during sexual arousal in anticipation of sexual intercourse.
Marie Iannotti. Definition: A basal leaf is one that grows from the lowest part of the stem. Basal, in general, refers to the base of a structure. Many perennial plants are trimmed back to new basal foliage once the older foliage starts to look tired and worn.
The colour of the more or less ribbed stem is green and sometimes turns to red or violet during the flowering period. The stem of the adult plant is hollow, and its basal parts can reach a diameter of up to 2 cm. The leaves alternate, and the first ones are often gathered in a rosette. The plant is diversifolious. The blade shape of the basal leaves is usually either undivided with three lobes, or tripinnatifid, while the leaves of the nodes following are to a higher degree pinnatifid.
