The female's organ equivalent to the glans penis of the male is
A. Vestibule
B. Hymen
C. Baculum
D. Clitoris

Answer 1

Hint: Glans penis is the external genital part of the male reproductive system so the external genital part of the female reproductive system is homologous to the male glans penis.

Complete answer:
1. The female genital organs in humans are mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and hymen, these are the important external genitals of the female reproductive system.
2. In these organs clitoris is a small finger-like projection that lies at the upper junction of the labia majora and the labia minora.
3. It presents above the urethral opening and functions like the glans penis in the male reproductive system.
4. Hymen is a thin layer present on the opening of the vagina which broke during the first coitus and bleeding occurs due to this.
5. a vestibule is just a protective covering that acts as a shock absorber from the outside.
6. The labia minora and labia majora are the two lips-like projections that cover the entry of the inner soft and important reproductive organs.
7. The vestibule has a thick layer of fat inside it to absorb the shock during any injury from outside.
Here the female organ equivalent to the glans penis is the clitoris

So, the correct answer is “Option D Clitoris”.

Note:
1. Glans present on the upper part of the penis, it is a skin fold that presents on the penis.
2. It allows the smooth entry of the penis inside the vagina during the coitus.
