Describe the anatomy of the vagina

What will be an ideal response?


The vagina is a muscular tube extending between the uterus and external genitalia; its lining forms folds called rugae. The proximal portion of the vagina is marked by the cervix, which dips into the vaginal canal, and the shallow recess known as the vaginal fornix. The hymen, a thin epithelial fold, partially blocks the entrance to the vagina until physical distortion ruptures it.
