Vagina , canal in female mammals that receives the male reproductive cells, or sperm , and is part of the birth canal during the birth process. In humans, it also functions as an excretory canal for the products of menstruation. In humans the vagina is about 9 cm 3.

If you've ever wondered what things look like to your vagina mid-bone, you're in luck. A few intrepid researchers decided to film sex from the vagina's point of view, and the result is a fascinating video that's years old but is resurfacing again to everyone's benefit. In this segment of the episode, testers attached cameras to one of the woman's nipples, the man's penis, inside the woman's vagina, and both people's skin. Once their parts were fully equipped with camera gear, the couple started to have sex in the missionary position. Thanks to the various cameras, the resulting video has a few different angles—it's clear that the experimenters were nothing if not thorough. Even though the video's soundtrack is the epitome of a porn jam, it still drops some legitimate sexual knowledge. For example, the man's pubic bone can stimulate the clitoris while his penis works the G-spot, and when a woman gets closer to orgasm , she "may feel her heart beat in her vagina and a throbbing in her pelvis. It also gets into the cool reasoning behind why missionary may make it easier to conceive a child: the semen pools at the cervix right outside of the womb, which gets it one step closer on the way to baby-making magic.
What is the clitoris? And where is it?

In mammals , the vagina is the elastic, muscular part of the female genital tract. In humans, it extends from the vulva to the cervix. The outer vaginal opening is normally partly covered by a membrane called the hymen. At the deep end, the cervix neck of the uterus bulges into the vagina. The vagina allows for sexual intercourse and birth. It also channels menstrual flow menses , which occurs in humans and closely related primates as part of the monthly menstrual cycle. Although research on the vagina is especially lacking for different animals, its location, structure and size are documented as varying among species. Female mammals usually have two external openings in the vulva, the urethral opening for the urinary tract and the vaginal opening for the genital tract. This is different from male mammals, who usually have a single urethral opening for both urination and reproduction. The vaginal opening is much larger than the nearby urethral opening, and both are protected by the labia in humans.
