Question

The internal end of the vaginal canal terminates and WIDENS at the __________________.

What is the recess formed at the junction of the cervix and vaginal canal?

If you want to get into the pelvic cavity, what will you stick a needle through?

The opening of the vaginal canal is called the?
A) Vaginal fornix, cul-de-sac, perineum, introitus
B) Cervical canal, vaginal canal, perineum, hymen
C) Urethra, vestibule, introitus, vulva
D) Uterine canal, fundus, pelvic diaphragm, introitus

Answer 1

The end of the vaginal canal widens at the vaginal fornix. To access the pelvic cavity, a needle would go through the perineum, and the vaginal canal opening is called the introitus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The internal end of the vaginal canal terminates and WIDENS at the vaginal fornix, which is the recess formed at the junction of the cervix and vaginal canal. If one were to gain access to the pelvic cavity via needle, it would need to be inserted through the perineum. The opening of the vaginal canal, at the body's exterior, is called the introitus.

The correct answer to the question is therefore A) Vaginal fornix, cul-de-sac, perineum, introitus. These parts are all significant structures within the female reproductive system. The vaginal fornix surrounds the protruding uterine cervix, the perineum is the region between the vulva and the anus, and the introitus is the opening of the vagina to the outside of the body.
