Which of the following is not part of the female external genitalia?

mons pubis
clitoris
labia majora
prepuce

The correct answer is: prepuce

The prepuce, also known as the clitoral hood, is a fold of skin that covers the clitoris and is considered part of the clitoral structure rather than a separate entity of the external genitalia. The primary components of female external genitalia include the mons pubis, clitoris, and labia majora. The mons pubis is the rounded mass of fatty tissue that covers the pubic symphysis, providing cushioning. The clitoris is an important organ for sexual arousal and is located at the top of the vulva. The labia majora are the outer folds of skin that protect the vaginal opening. Together, these structures form the vulva, which is crucial for sexual function and protection of internal reproductive organs. Thus, the prepuce, while associated with the clitoris, is not classified as part of the external genitalia itself but rather as a protective covering of the clitoral structure.
