Uterus opens into vagina also called birth canal. Opening of urinary bladder by urethra and female genital pore are separate in females. Space between vaginal wall and cervix is fornix. Vagina is lined by non-keratinised stratified squamous epithelium. Vagina opens to the outside by vaginal orifice or aperture which is partially covered by a membrane called hymen for releasing fluid. The hymen is often torn during the first coitus or intercourse. However, it can also be broken by a sudden fall or jolt, insertion of a vaginal tampon, active participation in some sports like horseback riding, cycling, etc. In some women the hymen persists even after coitus. In fact, the presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience.
