Clitoris
Part of the female external genitalia, composed of erectile tissue partly surrounded by muscle. It is the equivalent of the male penis (though it does not convey the urethra), and enlarges upon tactile stimulation. In seals and some other animals it contains a small bone (the os clitoridis).
