vaginal canal
Internal reproductive passage
The vaginal canal is the muscular tube extending from the vulva to the cervix in female mammals.
It serves as the passage for menstrual flow, receives the penis during intercourse, and forms the birth canal during delivery.
Often shortened to simply vagina, though technically the canal refers to the interior passage itself.
