clitoral anatomy

The following page has a couple of interesting 3-D sonogram* computer-enhanced images of an erect clitoris, along with some confusing and inconsistent looking hand-drawn diagrams:

This page also has a couple of additional diagrams:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_cavernosum_of_clitoris

After perusing all those images and reading the texts, I'm left confused... I'm not sure which parts are the corpus cavernosum versus the vestibular bulbs. And some of the images make it appear that the Crus are the tips of the Corpus Cavernosum, while other images make them look like 2 totally separate parts.

The 3D sonograms images make it look like the corpus cavernosa surrounds the vagina like a donut surrounding a donut hole.. but apparently they're 2 separate stems that go around the vagina on both sides and aren't connected on the other end.


* Retrospectively, I suppose that the organs in those images are too clean and distinct-looking for them to be actual sonograms.
