Labia (Posterior Commisure)
Labial commissures are junctions of the labia majora and labia minora, with one pair for the labia majora and one pair for the labia minora. The posterior commisure of the labia majora is above the perineum.

Labia (Anterior Commissure)
Labial commissures are junctions of the labia majora and labia minora, with one pair for the labia majora and one pair for the labia minora. The anterior commisure of the labia majora is below the mons veneris.

Frenulum Clitoridis
The Frenulum clitoridis (also known as the Crus glandis clitoridis) is a frenulum on the under-surface of the clitoral glans, created by the two medial parts of the labia minora.

Clitoral Hood
The clitoral hood, (also called preputium clitoridis and clitoral prepuce), is a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the clitoral glans. It develops as part of the labia minora and is homologous with the foreskin (equally called prepuce) in male genitals.

Clitoris
The clitoris is a sexual organ that is present only in female mammals. In humans, the visible button-like portion is located near the anterior junction of the labia minora, above the opening of the urethra and vagina. Unlike the penis, which is homologous to the clitoris, the clitoris does not contain the distal portion of the urethra, and functions solely to induce sexual pleasure.

Pudendal Cleft
The cleft of venus (also called the pudendal cleft, pudendal fissure, or rima pudendi) is the furrow at the base of the mons pubis where it divides to form the labia majora. The name is a reference to the Roman goddess of love, Venus.
In some female humans, the clitoral hood and labia minora protrude through the cleft of venus, in others they do not. When tight clothes are worn, the fabric of the tight garment may be pulled into the cleft (often because of a central seam, as in jeans), resulting in a situation known as "cameltoe" in slang terms.
The presence of pubic hair can obscure the cleft of Venus. Body art or genital piercings can also affect its visibility. In some women, certain organs like the clitoral hood or the labia minora can protrude through the cleft of Venus thereby restricting its visibility as well. In such instances, labiaplasty surgery is sometimes considered, though this is by no means the norm.
