What is a Vagina?

Question

people at my school are talking about it. what is a vagina?

It can be very funny seeing how people respond to such a simple question seemingly posted by a child. There was no way for anyone to tell my age, I may have been a 26 year old college student or a 3 year pre-schoolar. (It happens that Im 15, and YES, I do know what a Vagina is and its Many purposes). Its also a very good way to study human Psychological patterns. (I know, Im a nerd too...).

I find it Ironic that out of the 11 people who had answered when I edited this:

5 people tought I was a kindergartener

3 people gave me off topic questions.

2 people ignored the question tottal.

2 people told me to do things that would have gotten me in trouble

1 person gave me a link to a 25 dollar book for dumbies.

0 actually answered the question.

So we come to the conclusion that 0/11 people on this website cant answer a question right. IM me to discuss this interesting find on the psychological perimeters of the Human Brain.

oh, and this was DISGRACEFUL!

oops, 13 people. I changed the figures after some other replies came in...

The vagina, (from Latin, literally "sheath" or "scabbard" ) is the 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. Female insects and other invertebrates also have a vagina, which is the terminal part of the oviduct.

Anatomy
Schematic frontal view of female anatomy. Schematic vulva anatomy.The human vagina is an elastic muscular tube about 4 inches (100 mm) long and 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter that connects the vulva at the outside to the cervix of the uterus on the inside. If the woman stands upright, the vaginal tube points in an upward-backward direction and forms an angle of slightly more than 45 degrees with the uterus. The vaginal opening is at the back (caudal) end of the vulva, behind the opening of the urethra. Above the vagina is Mons Veneris. The inside of the vagina is usually pink, as with all internal mucous membranes in mammals.

In common speech, the term "vagina" is often used to refer to the vulva or female genitals generally; strictly speaking the vagina is a specific internal structure and the vulva is the exterior genitalia only. The labia and other parts would be considered parts of the vagina as well in its common usage.

Length, width and shape of the vagina may vary. When a woman gives birth and during sexual intercourse, the vagina widens and lengthens up to 2-3 times.

Vaginal lubrication is provided by glands near the vaginal opening and the cervix and also seeps through the vaginal wall (which does not contain any glands).

The hymen—a membrane situated behind the urethral opening—partially covers the vagina in many organisms, including some human females, from birth until it is ruptured by sexual intercourse, or by any number of other activities including medical examinations, injury, certain types of exercise, introduction of a foreign object, etc.

Vagina is colonized by native microbiota that is regarded as vaginal ecoorgan.


Functions of the vagina
Labeled picture of external human female reproductive anatomy.From a biological perspective, the vagina performs the following functions:

Providing a path for menstrual fluids to leave the body.
Sexual activity
Giving birth

Menstruation
The vagina provides a path for menstrual fluids to leave the body. In modern societies, tampons, menstrual cups and sanitary towels may be used to absorb or capture these fluids.


Sexual activity
The concentration of the nerve endings that lie particularly close to the mouth of a woman's vagina can bring her pleasurable sensations during sexual activity, when she is stimulated in a way that she enjoys. This activity may include heterosexual intercourse, during which her partner’s penis is placed within her vagina. During intercourse, her vagina’s heat, pressure, and friction on the man’s penis excite him, typically resulting in his orgasm and ejaculation, which can in turn lead to fertilization and pregnancy. Each woman has a very sensitive erogenous zone called the G-spot inside her vagina (in the anterior of the vagina, about five cm in from the entrance), which can allow her to experience very intense orgasms if stimulated properly during intercourse or other sexual activity, possibly responsible for the disputed female ejaculation. However, this is not the case in most women. The G-Spot is rather controversial and many scholars believe it to be a myth.


Giving birth
During live birth, the vagina provides the route to deliver the fetus from the uterus to its independent life outside the body of the mother. During birth, the vagina is often referred to as the birth canal.


Sexual health and hygiene
The vagina itself is a self-cleaning organ and needs no particular treatment in the name of basic hygiene. Douching is discouraged by doctors, as the practice upsets the balance of vaginal flora and may contribute to pelvic inflammatory disease.

The vagina is examined during gynecological exams, often using an instrument called a speculum, which keeps the vagina open for visual inspections or taking of samples (see pap smear).

Various disorders can affect the vagina, including vaginal cancer and yeast infections. See vulvovaginal health.


The vagina and popular culture
Western society treats the subject as somewhat taboo. A one-person play by Eve Ensler known as The Vagina Monologues is a rare example of the word appearing in mainstream culture
