Also known as genital labium
The labia are the major externally visible structures of the vulva. In humans and other primates, there are two pairs of labia: the labia majora (outer lips) are large and thick folds of skin that cover the vulva's other parts, while the labia minora (inner lips) are the folds of skin between the outer labia that surround and protect the urethral and vaginal openings, as well as the glans clitoridis.
The labia are the skin folds that form the external part of the vulva, consisting of two pairs: the larger outer labia majora and the smaller inner labia minora. They serve protective functions, covering and surrounding the openings to the urethra, vagina, and clitoris.
