Q

Vagina

A

Musculomembranous tube from cervix to vestibule of vagina between labia minora

17
Q

Vaginal fornix

A

Short recess around cervix, typically described as having deep posterior, shallow anterior and lateral parts

18
Q

Perineum

A 
Shallow external compartment with female external genitalia or pudendum 
Contains: 
- Mons pubis
- Pudendal cleft
- Labia majora
- Labia minora
- Clitoris 
- Vaginal vestibule
19
Q

Mons Pubis

A

Rounded, fatty prominence anterior to pubic symphysis

20
Q

Pudendal cleft

A

Anterior slit between labia majora

21
Q

Labia majora

A

Prominent skin folds that protect external urethral and vaginal orifices

  • Anterior labial commissure- junction of right and left labia majora, anterior to angle of clitoris
  • Posterior labial commissure- posterior limit of pudnedum, gone after first vaginal birth
22
Q

Labia minora

A

Folds of fat-free, hairless skin within pudendal cleft and labia majora (surrounded by vestibule of vagina)
- Frenulum of labia minora (aka Fourchette) that exists in pre-sexual activity

23
Q

Clitoris

A

Erectile organ extending from anterior junction of labia minora posteriorly to pubic symphysis that branches into 2 crura.

24
Q

Crura of clitoris

A

Associated with inferior pubic rami, posterolateral projections of corpora cavernosa (right and left crus)

25
Q

Prepuce of clitoris

A

Anterior most junction of labia minora which travels anterior to and covers glans clitoris

26
Q

Frenula of clitoris

A

Travels posteriorly from clitoris to paired labia minora

27
Q

Suspensory ligament of clitoris

A

Extends from pubic symphysis to body of clitoris

28
Q

Vaginal vestibule

A

between paired labia minora, containing vaginal and external urethral orifices

29
Q

External urethral orifice

A

Exit point of urethra

30
Q

Vaginal orifice

A

Opening of vagina (hymen in pre-sexual activity)

31
Q

Bulbs of vestibule

A

Paired, elongated erectile tissue surrounding vaginal orifice
- Homologous to bulb and corpus spongiosum of the penis

32
Q

Greater vestibular glands

A

Paired glands, posterior to bulbs of the vestibule, that secrete mucus upon arousal

33
Q

Lesser vestibular glands

A

paired glands on either side of the vestibule that secrete mucus between the external urethral orifice and vaginal orifice, providing moisture to labia and vaginal vestibule
