<Tr> <Th> FMA </Th> <Td> 9909 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Anatomical terminology (edit on Wikidata) </Td> </Tr> <P> The clitoris (/ ˈklɪtərɪs / (listen) or / klɪˈtɔərɪs / (listen)) is a female sex organ present in mammals, ostriches and a limited number of other animals . In humans, the visible button - like portion is near the front junction of the labia minora (inner lips), above the opening of the urethra . Unlike the penis, the male homologue (equivalent) to the clitoris, it usually does not contain the distal portion (or opening) of the urethra and is therefore not used for urination . While few animals urinate through the clitoris, the spotted hyena, which has an especially well - developed clitoris, urinates, mates and gives birth via the organ . Some other mammals, such as lemurs and spider monkeys, also have a well - developed clitoris . </P> <P> The clitoris is the human female's most sensitive erogenous zone and generally the primary anatomical source of human female sexual pleasure . In humans and other mammals, it develops from an outgrowth in the embryo called the genital tubercle . Initially undifferentiated, the tubercle develops into either a penis or a clitoris, depending on the presence or absence of the protein tdf, which is codified by a single gene on the Y chromosome . The clitoris is a complex structure, and its size and sensitivity can vary . The glans (head) of the human clitoris is roughly the size and shape of a pea, and is estimated to have more than 8,000 sensory nerve endings . </P>
