Anatomy of the Vagina

Men and women have an internal and external region of their genitalia. The internal and external anatomy of the vagina – the most interesting organ in the female body - is a theme of the below article.

When you see the female genitalia the outermost part of it is called the vulva. Usually they are covered by the pubic hair. The pubic hair grows from the tissue called mons pubis. Most women like to shave them, so you will be able to see the outer lips. They really have a lip-like appearance and are better known as Labia Majora.

The fatty tissue of the outer lips covers and protects the vulva from the mons pubis to the perineum.

A certain sexual female scent is produced here by sweat and oil glands placed in the Labia Majora.

Under the Labia Majora or better to say next to them there is another lips called the Labia Minora.

Most of people know them as inner lips. They protect the clitoris, urethra and the vagina itself.

Under the Labia Minora there is a small part called the clitoris. It is connected with the inner lips and is hidden by the skin hood.

Such protection is not accidental, because the clitoris is the most sensitive part of the female’s genitalia due to the enormous amount of nerves located there.

While stimulated or touched the clitoris or the “clit” produce sexual pleasure which can be continued by the orgasm. Under the clitoris you can find the urethra through which the urine passes outside from the bladder.

The hymen or a sensitive membrane covers the opening of the vagina. When it is torn it means that a woman is not a virgin or she torn it by sport activities like horse riding, or by dildos and vibrators. Also, some women do not have a hymen at all. The opening itself is called perineum. From there babies are getting born.

The internal part of the female’s genitalia is even more interesting because it is in charge of reproduction. The vaginal canal is the pass where you penis is making his way to the cervix.

One of the most exiting features of the vaginal canal is that it can expand depending on your penis size. Inside the vagina there are the Bartholin’s and the hymen glands which produce lubricant fluids to moisturize the vagina for better sexual intercourse.

When the vaginal canal ends, there is the uterus or the womb – a safe place where the fetus is located during all pregnancy. Two fallopian tubes are attached to the uterus from the both sides. In them the ova or egg gets fertilized by the sperm.

The fallopian tubes ends with the ovaries where the ovas are produced. Also they are responsible for progesterone and estrogen – the hormones which are in charge for menstruation, baby growth and so on.

Does penis size matter?
