Structure/Morphology
The frenulum of the clitoris is a small fold of tissue formed by a portion of the labia minora that passes inferior to the clitoris.
Key Features/Anatomical Relations
The anterior portion of the merging labia minora divides into an upper layer, which forms the prepuce of the clitoris, and a lower layer which, forms the frenulum of the clitoris.
Function
The frenulum of the clitoris aids in securing the clitoris in place to prevent excessive motion.
