Female reproductive anatomy

The functions of the female vagina are the reproductive organ, the necessary passage for menstruation, and the passage for welcoming new life. It is also the symbol of women. The structure of the vagina is not complicated, but it is difficult for ordinary people to separate what is what. Let's learn about it in detail below. I hope that the introduction in this article can be helpful to everyone.

The sexual reproductive organs refer to the exposed part of the male reproductive organs, also known as the private parts. Including the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibular function, Bartholin's glands, vestibular bulbs, urethral orifice, vulva and ruptured hymen.

1. Mons pubis. It is the private part that protrudes in front of the ischial tuberosity and is composed of skin and a thick layer of fat. Pubic hair begins to grow on the skin during puberty and is distributed in the form of a triangle with a downward-pointing tip.

2. Labia majora. It is a pair of long, ring-shaped, raised skin folds on both sides of the private parts, close to the inner side of the buttocks. It is connected to the mons pubis in front and the perineum in the back; it stretches downward and backward from the mons pubis, with the left and right labia majora united in front to form the anterior synovia and the two ends at the back joining to form the posterior synovia. The posterior synovia is located in front of the anus, but is not as obvious as the anterior synovia. Male pubic hair grows outside the labia majora. The subcutaneous tissue is composed of human fat tissue, collagen fibers and venous plexus, which can easily form abscesses after injury. Of course, the labia majora of single women are close together, covering the vulva and urethra. The labia majora of a primipara will separate to the sides due to the impact of childbirth.

3. Labia minora. It is a pair of mucosal wrinkles on the inner side of the labia majora, with a moist surface. The upper and lower parts of the labia minora are connected to each other. The skin fold above is called the clitoral hood, and the skin fold below is called the clitoral frenulum. The clitoris is located in the middle of them. The lower part of the labia minora meets below the vulva, which is called the frenulum. There is a rich nerve distribution under the labia minora mucosa, so it feels sensitive.

4. The Yin Emperor. Located at the top between the labia minora on both sides, it is a small, long, ring-shaped organ with a round opening at the end and the inner end connected to a thin bundle of hard tissue. The erectile tissue is a kind of cavernous body tissue, which has rich venous plexus and rich peripheral nerves, so it feels sensitive and easy to bleed after being injured. A woman's clitoris is equivalent to the clitoris of a man's penis.

5. Vestibular function. The diamond-shaped area surrounded by the labia minora on both sides is called the vestibule. The surface is covered with mucous membrane, which is similar to a triangle. The top of the triangle is the clitoris, the bottom is the frenulum of the labia, and the two sides are the labia minora. The urethral opening is at the upper end of the vestibule function. The vaginal opening is below it. The vestibular bulbs and greater Bartholin's glands are also found in this area.

The vaginal opening is covered by a mucous membrane that is not completely closed. This mucous membrane is called the hymen. When the hymen is broken, there is a hole in the middle, through which menstruation is discharged. The size of the hymen hole and the thickness of the membrane are different for each person. After the hymen is broken, the mucous membrane appears as many round balls, which become the hymen scar. A broken hymen does not indicate anything.
