Q

Describe the loaction, structure, & functions of the vagina.

A
  • Location
    • In the pelvic body cavity posterior to the urinary bladder and anterior to the rectum.
  • Structure
    • Measuring around 3 inches in length and less than an inch in diameter, the vagina stretches to become several inches longer and many inches wider during sexual intercourse and childbirth.
  • Functions
    • The vagina receives the penis during sexual intercourse and also serves as a conduit for menstrual flow from the uterus. During childbirth, the baby passes through the vagina (birth canal).

Q

Vulva (Structures & Functions)

A
  • Structures
    • The labia majora, mons pubis, labia minora, clitoris,bulb of vestibule, vulval vestibule, greater and lesser vestibular glands, and the opening of the vagina (introitus).
  • Functions
    1. It protects women’s sexual organs and the urinary opening from trauma and infection.
    2. It is vital for women’s sexual

response. The clitoris is the main organ of sexual arousal and orgasm in most women.
3. The vulva and the perineum stretch to accommodate childbirth.
