The vagina is a distensible fibromuscular tube extending from the pelvic cavity (true pelvis) through the pelvic floor to the perineum. The cervix protrudes into its proximal end, which is enlarged and forms the vaginal fornix (vaginal vault). The vagina opens into the vaginal vestibule of the vulva (vaginal opening) at its distal end.
The vagina extends down from the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, to the vestibule, which is part of the vulva and the external genitalia. It sits behind the bladder and in front of the rectum. An inner mucous membrane lines the smooth muscle walls of the vagina.
Just inside the hymen is the beginning of the vagina. In contrast to the smooth vulvar skin, the vaginal skin has circumferential ridges (rugae). The vagina is not cylindrical in shape, but more like a flattened cone, narrow at the vaginal opening, and widening as the vagina approaches the cervix.
