Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the distinction between external and internal genitalia in the female reproductive system. External genitalia refers to structures visible on the outside of the body, while internal genitalia are located within the pelvic cavity.
Review the anatomy of the female external genitalia, which includes structures such as the clitoris, labia majora, and labia minora. These are part of the vulva, the external part of the female reproductive system.
Recognize that the ovary is an internal structure. It is located within the pelvic cavity and is responsible for producing eggs (ova) and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
Compare the listed structures (clitoris, labia majora, labia minora, and ovary) to determine which one does not belong to the external genitalia. The ovary is the only internal structure among the options provided.
Conclude that the ovary is not part of the female external genitalia, as it is an internal organ involved in reproductive and endocrine functions.
