Factual presentations of sexual anatomy are required for educational purposes, for clinical and more general communication about sexual matters. To date, unambiguous, accurate and objective images with appropriate labeling to enhance specificity in communication have been lacking.
The aim of this presentation is to provide a comprehensive overview of anatomy of the distal vagina. We aim to simplify the anatomy to reduce the confusion of historical descriptions. In doing so, we aim to avoid sacrificing any of the specific detail. This would aid communication between clinicians, researchers, and the nonclinician regarding this anatomy. OUTCOME MEASURES AND METHODS: This article reviews the historical and current anatomical literature. Systematic dissection and photography, histological study, and magnetic resonance imaging have been used as the basis for this presentation. Digital technology has been used to label, color, and highlight photography to provide clarity and permit diagramatization of photography. No distortion has otherwise been used in presenting images from cadavers or anatomical research.
The anatomy of the distal vagina and surrounding structures is shown and described in detailed. The distal vagina, clitoris, and urethra form an integrated entity covered superficially by the vulval skin and its epithelial features. These parts have a shared vasculature and nerve supply and during sexual stimulation respond as a unit though the responses are not uniform.
Significant progress has been made in the field of female sexual anatomy and its pictorial representation. This may facilitate further progress in the related fields of female sexual health and education.
出于教育目的，以及在临床和更广泛的性相关问题交流中，需要对性解剖结构进行事实性呈现。迄今为止，一直缺乏带有适当标注以增强交流特异性的清晰、准确且客观的图像。
本展示的目的是全面概述阴道远端的解剖结构。我们旨在简化解剖结构以减少历史描述带来的混淆。在此过程中，我们力求不遗漏任何具体细节。这将有助于临床医生、研究人员以及非专业人员之间就该解剖结构进行交流。结果测量与方法：本文回顾了历史和当前的解剖学文献。系统解剖与摄影、组织学研究以及磁共振成像被用作本展示的基础。数字技术已用于对摄影图像进行标注、上色和突出显示，以提供清晰度并实现摄影图像的图表化。在呈现尸体或解剖学研究的图像时未使用其他扭曲处理。
详细展示并描述了阴道远端及周围结构的解剖。阴道远端、阴蒂和尿道形成一个整体结构，表面被外阴皮肤及其上皮特征所覆盖。这些部分有共同的血管和神经供应，在性刺激过程中作为一个整体做出反应，尽管反应并不均匀。
女性性解剖学及其图像呈现领域已取得重大进展。这可能会促进女性性健康和教育等相关领域的进一步发展。
