“New 3D images reveal the clitoris’s complex nerve network”
CORROBORATED
Three independent web sources confirm 3D imaging has revealed the clitoris's nerve network, including the dorsal nerve's complex path. The first source describes a 3D map created via donated pelvises, the second highlights 3D images of the neural network, and the third (Scientific American) discusses anatomical studies of the clitoris's structure.

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia explicitly describes the visible anatomy of the clitoris (hood/glans), while other sources confirm the clitoris extends internally beyond the glans and discuss size comparisons. The claim about the article discussing size is corroborated by multiple sources, including Wikipedia's anatomical details.
