a. Mons veneris
b. Labia majora

The ovaries are located at the end of the fallopian tubes; each fallopian tube has one ovary attached to it. Each ovary creates and hold eggs until its released.
3.) The normal ph of vaginal secretions is 4.5 (3.8 to 4.5). The vaginas ph plays a vital role in the its health a fertility. The normal ph range for the vagina stays between 3.8 to 4.5, which is slightly acidic. When the ph increase it makes the vagina more neutral causing the bad bacteria to thrive and overgrow. Thus, causing infections. During the time of ovulation, the vagina ph should be neutral, ranging from a ph of 7 to 14. This optimizes the sperm survival thus increasing chances of conception. It the ph is too acidic the sperm wont survive which will decrease the chances of
