    Vagina (Em Inglês)

    Uploaded by

    The vagina is an elastic tube that serves as the inferior part of the birth canal and connects the uterus to the outside of the body. It has anterior and posterior walls of different lengths and opens into the vestibule of the perineum behind the urethra. The vagina has relations anteriorly to the bladder and urethra, and posteriorly to the rectum. It receives its blood supply from branches of the internal iliac artery and innervation from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
