has transverse folds, which flatten during sex to accomadate penis = rugae
30-40 degrees back from vertical plane
opens into vestibule of vulva
opening partially closed off by hymen
upper end divided into 4 fornices = 1 ant, 1 post, 2 lat that surround vaginal portion of cervix
ant fornix = shallowest, touches fundus of bladder
post fornix = deepest and touches rectouterine pouch, covered w/ peritoneum of rectum post
lat fornix = uterus, uterine a/v – w/in broad lig of uterus
Topography:
ant = urethra in urethrovaginal septum, space b/w vagina and septum = urethrovaginal space
post = loops of SI (sup), rectum via rectovaginal septum
lat = contact cervix of uterus (sup)
inf = levator ani m, UG diaphragm, perineal body

supported by:
upper part = levator ani m, transverse cervical lig, pubocervical lig, sacrocervical lig
(ligaments together = paracolpium of vagina)
fibers merge w/ fibers of paraproctium(post) and paracysticum (ant)
middle part = UG diaphragm
lower part = perineal body
Blood supply:
vaginal a (uterine a)
vaginal br of int pudendal a (inf part of vagina), middle rectal a (middle part of vaginal), int iliac a

Venous drainage = vaginal venous plexus –> pelvic venous plexus –> int iliac v
Lymph Drainage:
The vagina is related anteriorly to the uterus and bladder and is fused with the urethra. Posteriorly, the vagina is related
to the recto-uterine pouch, the rectum and the perineal body. The lateral fornix of the vagina is related to the ureter
and uterine artery. At its upper aspect the vagina fuses with the uterus, so that it encloses the vaginal part of the cervix.
Stuctures to Identify:
General Info:
no glands here – all lubrication done by cervical glands and Bartholin’s glands at entrance

Epith
Vaginal pale epithelium, notice the lymphocytes and Langerhan's cells at base of epith,
as well as CT papilla
LP
aka semi cavernous tissue = b/c a/v similar to cavernous tissue of penis
dense reg CT filled with elastic tissue for stretching of vaginal wall
MALT, lymph nodules, a/v
underlying submucosa interweaves with it
no definitve border between LP and submucosa = .O muscularis mucosae
Muscular Layer
Adventia
Genital Rejuvemutilation?

This site was made for the Anatomy, Histology, Embryology class in 2nd yr, 1st semester at the University of Debrecen. All
theoretical topics are listed as described on the website of the Anatomy department.
We combined Practical class notes, Moore, Board Review Series textbooks of Gross Anatomy and Embryology, Langman’s,
DiFiore’s, as well as the Lab manual for Histology at Semmelweiss. We believe it to be all inclusive of the material you will
need for your test. We made them for ourselves, but since people asked for them, and emailing them seemed next to
impossible, we decided to post them here.
To see all the topics we’ve done so far, scroll down and click on the Category you would like to see: Head & .eck,
Thorax, Abdomen, & Pelvis.
Added a search box in the sidebar, so you can search for the item you want.
But the best way to find the topic that you want?
Scroll down and click on the “Link to Topics” Page. There is the list of all topics. If a link to your topic of choice
exists, we’ve started/finished it, else we’re working on it. There! That’s easier, isn’t it?
We’ve added pictures, links, and animations where we have found them.
(P.s. If you find mistakes, or want to add info, or find something we missed, please comment below the post in question, and
we will fix or add it. )
We are adding more info by the day, so check back in with us!
