Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vasocongestion causes increased blood flow to the genital tissues in the excitement phase of the sexual response cycle. This leads to swelling of the clitoris and labia minora. The labia majora, on the other hand, may flatten due to the increased pressure from the swollen tissues underneath. The uterus and perineum do not typically show significant changes in size during the excitement phase.
