Vagina: The vagina, also known as the birth canal, is the female reproductive organ. This muscular canal leads from the uterus (womb) to the exterior of the female body. Vulva: The term vulva refers to the female's external genitalia, including the labia, clitoris and vaginal opening. Uterus: The uterus, also known as the womb, is the pear–shaped female reproductive organ in which a fertilized egg is implanted and a fetus develops. This hollow, thick–walled organ is about the size of a fist. The uterus has three parts – the body (upper part), the isthmus (narrow central area), and the cervix (the lower portion). Cervix: The cervix is the lower portion of the uterus that protrudes like a bottleneck into the vagina and dilates during labor to allow the passage of the fetus.
