I clitoris ( /k l ɪ t ər ɪ s / ( </img> / ) noma /k l ɪ t ɔːr ɪ s / ( </img> / ) ) isitho sobulili sowesifazane esikhona ezincelisayo, izintshe kanye nenani elilinganiselwe lezinye izilwane . Kubantu, ingxenye ebonakalayo - izingilazi - isemphambanweni ongaphambili we- labia minora (izindebe zangaphakathi), ngaphezu kokuvulwa kwe- urethra .Ngokungafani nepipi, i- homologue yesilisa (elingana) ne-clitoris, imvamisa ayinayo ingxenye ye-distal (noma ukuvulwa) kwe-urethra ngakho-ke ayisetshenziselwa ukuchama.I-clitoris nayo ngokuvamile ayinakho umsebenzi wokuzala.Yize zimbalwa izilwane ezichamela i-clitoris noma ziyisebenzise ngokuzala, impisi enamabala, enesigaxa esikhulu ngokukhethekile, iyachama, isizalele futhi izale ngomzimba.Ezinye izilwane ezincelisayo, ezinjengama- lemurs nezinkawu zesicabucabu, nazo zine-clitoris enkulu.

Kwezilwane ezincelisayo, ukwahlukaniswa ngokocansi kunqunywa isidoda esithwala i- X noma i- Y (chromosome) yowesilisa. I-chromosome ka-Y iqukethe isakhi sokunquma sobulili (i-SRY) esifaka into yokubhalwa kweprotheni i-TDF (testis determining factor) futhi ibangele ukwenziwa kwe- testosterone ne- anti-Müllerian hormone yokukhula kombungu ibe owesilisa.Lo mehluko uqala cishe emasontweni ayisishiyagalombili noma ayisishiyagalolunye ngemuva kokukhulelwa.Eminye imithombo ithi iyaqhubeka kuze kube yisonto leshumi nambili, kuyilapho eminye ithi kubonakala ngokusobala ngesonto leshumi nantathu nokuthi izitho zocansi zikhule ngokuphelele ngeviki leshumi nesithupha.
