Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The vagina is a thick-walled, fibromuscular tube that forms the inferior-most region of the female reproductive tract. It measures about 10 centimeters in length in an adult female. The vagina connects the uterus with the outside of the body anteroventrally. It also functions as the birth canal. The female perineum is present between the anus and the vulva.
