vagina

A fibromuscular tubular tract leading from the uterus to the exterior of the body in female placental mammals and marsupials, or to the cloaca in female birds, monotremes, and some reptiles[WP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the vagina is

A fibromuscular tubular tract leading from the uterus to the exterior of the body in female placental mammals and marsupials, or to the cloaca in female birds, monotremes, and some reptiles[WP]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the vagina is

It sits within the reproductive system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the vagina connects to

The atlas records 25 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of internal female genitalia.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the vagina. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Questions

Where is the vagina?

It sits within the reproductive system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the vagina connect to?

Part of: internal female genitalia.

Is the vagina the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
