Vagina
Human female internal reproductive anatomy.
Latin "sheath" or "scabbard"
Gray's subject #269 1264
Artery Iliolumbar artery, vaginal artery, middle rectal artery
Lymph upper part to internal iliac lymph nodes, lower part to superficial inguinal lymph nodes
Precursor urogenital sinus and paramesonephric ducts
MeSH Vagina

The vagina, (from Latin, literally "sheath" or "scabbard" ) is the tubular tract leading from the uterus to the exterior of the body in female placental mammals and marsupials, or to the cloaca in female birds, monotremes, and some reptiles. Female insects and other invertebrates also have a vagina, which is the terminal part of the oviduct. The Latinate plural (rarely used in English) is vaginae.
In common speech, the term "vagina" is often used to refer to the vulva or female genitals generally; strictly speaking, the vagina is a specific internal structure and the vulva is the exterior genitalia only.

The human vagina is an elastic muscular canal that extends from the cervix to the vulva.[1] Although there is wide anatomical variation, the length of the unaroused vagina is approximately 6 to 7.5 cm (2.5 to 3 in) across the anterior wall (front), and 9 cm (3.5 in) long across the posterior wall (rear)[2]. During sexual arousal the vagina expands in both length and width [3]. It's elasticity allows it to stretch during sexual intercourse and during birth to offspring.[4] The vagina connects the superficial vulva to the cervix of the deep uterus.
If the woman stands upright, the vaginal tube points in an upward-backward direction and forms an angle of slightly more than 45 degrees with the uterus. The vaginal opening is at the caudal end of the vulva, behind the opening of the urethra. Above the vagina is Mons Veneris. The vagina, along with the inside of the vulva, is reddish pink in color, as with most healthy internal mucous membranes in mammals.
Vaginal lubrication is provided by the Bartholin's glands near the vaginal opening and the cervix. The membrane of the vaginal wall also produces moisture, although it does not contain any glands. Before and during ovulation, the cervix produces cervical mucus, which provides a favorable environment for sperm to survive.
The hymen is a membrane which is situated at the opening of the vagina. As with many female animals, the hymen covers the opening of the vagina from birth until it is ruptured during activity. The hymen may rupture during sexual or non-sexual activity. Vaginal penetration may rupture the hymen. A pelvic examination, injury, or certain types of exercises, such as horseback riding or gymnastics may also rupture the hymen. Sexual intercourse does not always rupture the hymen.[citation needed] Therefore, the presence or absence of a hymen does not indicate virginity or prior sexual activity.
Biological functions of the vagina
The vagina has several biological functions.
Menstruation
The vagina provides a path for menstrual blood and tissue to leave the body. In modern societies, tampons, menstrual cups and sanitary towels may be used to absorb or capture these fluids.
Sexual activity
The concentration of the nerve endings that lie close to the entrance of a woman's vagina can provide pleasurable sensation during sexual activity, when stimulated in a way that the particular woman enjoys. During sexual arousal and particularly stimulation of the clitoris, the walls of the vagina self-lubricate, reducing friction during sexual activity. Research has found that portions of the clitoris extend into the vulva and vagina [5]
With arousal the vagina lengthens rapidly to an average of about 4 in.(8.5 cm), but can continue to lengthen in response to pressure.[6] As the woman becomes fully aroused, the vagina tents (last ²⁄₃ expands in length and width) while the cervix retracts,[7]. The walls of the vagina are composed of soft elastic folds of mucous membrane skin which stretch or contract (with support from pelvic muscles) to the size of the penis (or other objects within reason).[8] This means (with proper arousal) the vagina may stretch/contract to accommodate virtually any size penis, from small to large (or a wide range of sex toys/objects).[9]
An erogenous zone referred to commonly as the G-spot is located at the anterior wall of the vagina, about five centimeters in from the entrance. Some women experience intense pleasure if the G-spot is stimulated appropriately during sexual activity. A G-Spot orgasm may be responsible for female ejaculation, leading some doctors and researchers to believe that G-spot pleasure comes from the Skene's glands, a female homologue of the prostate, rather than any particular spot on the vaginal wall.[10][11][12] Some researchers deny the existence of the G-spot.[13]
Childbirth
During childbirth, the vagina provides the route to deliver the baby from the uterus to its independent life outside the body of the mother. During birth, the vagina is often referred to as the birth canal. The vagina is remarkably elastic and stretches to many times its normal diameter during vaginal birth.
Sexual health and hygiene
Main article: vulvovaginal health
The vagina is a self-cleaning organ and needs no special treatment. Doctors discourage douching, which upsets the balance of vaginal flora, and may cause infection, including PID, or other problems. Betty Dodson addresses the self-consciousness that many women feel about the scent or flavor of their vaginal fluids in her writings, and encourages women to accept their bodies as normal and natural.
The vagina is examined during gynecological exams, often using a speculum, which holds the vagina open for visual inspection of the cervix or taking of samples (see pap smear).
Vulvovaginal disorders can affect the vagina, including vaginal cancer and yeast infections, as well as sexually transmitted infections.

For other meanings of "Twat" and similar, see Twat (disambiguation).
Look up Twat in
Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Twat has various meanings, clearly dependent upon which regional dialect. It is generally used as a vulgar synonym for the human vulva,[1] vagina, or clitoris, and is be used as a derogatory epithet. In British English, "twat" is often pronounced /twæt/ (to rhyme with bat). In other areas (eg. Australia, New Zealand and North America) it is also pronounced /twt/ (to rhyme with watt), as was common in British English usage in the past.
The word possibly originates from the Old Norse thveit meaning cut, slit, or forest clearing.[1]

[edit] Historical usage
Robert Browning famously misused the term in his 1841 poem "Pippa Passes", believing it to be an item of nun's clothing:[2]
Then owls and bats
Cowls and twats
Monks and nuns in a cloister's moods
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry
Its meaning was in reality the same then as now, Browning's misconception probably having arisen from a line in a 1660 satirical poem, Vanity of Vanities:
They talk't of his having a Cardinalls Hat
They'd send him as soon an Old Nuns Twat
Another mistaken (or perhaps dialectal) use was in Lord Lytton's 1870 science fiction novel The Coming Race, in an apparent satire on Darwin:
Among the pithy sayings which, according to tradition, the philosopher bequeathed to posterity in rhythmical form and sententious brevity, this is notably recorded: "Humble yourselves, my descendants; the father of your race was a 'twat' (tadpole): exalt yourselves, my descendants, for it was the same Divine Thought which created your father that develops itself in exalting you."
[edit] Cultural references
* Although the term was not notable enough to be included in George Carlin's original seven dirty words, it was one of three words (the others being fart and turd) that later made his slightly expanded 10-word version. Carlin explained that part of the word's allure lay in the fact that - unlike snatch, box, and pussy - twat had no meanings other than reference to female genetalia. He also used it in a sports cheer during a standup routine: "Rat shit, bat shit, dirty old twat. Sixty-nine assholes tied in a knot. Hooray, lizard shit, fuck!"
* The sign outside of the fictional hotel in the British sitcom Fawlty Towers once displayed FLOWERY TWATS in a reconfiguration, or anagram, of its letters.
* Dane Cook also uses the term twat in his comedy routine "Nothing Fights" from the comedy album "Retaliation".
* The word is used numerous times by Brian Posehn in the pre-show section of the comedy film Jesus Is Magic, and Sarah Silverman later uses it in a song, referencing three popular actresses she considers unsuitable for her show.
* The track 'Such a Twat' featured on UK hiphop artist The Streets' 2004 album A Grand Don't Come For Free
* The track 'Family Reunion' from the Blink-182 album The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show: The Enema Strikes Back has the repeated lyrics 'Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cock Sucker, Mother Fucker, Tits, Fart, Turd and Twat' - lifted from Carlin's expanded list of dirty words.
* Featured in Lilly Allen's song, "Alfie."
[edit] Usage
Although it can also refer to the female genitalia, the word is used as a more general term in various ways:
* As a derogatory word for a man - 'That twat pisses me off'
* A fool, synonymous with the word twit - 'You are a real twat and a half'
* One who behaves in a childish, extroverted manner to the annoyance of others - 'He can be an annoying twat sometimes'
* To hit something (or someone) really hard or violently - 'I twatted him one'
* To become drunk or otherwise intoxicated - 'Let's get twatted'
Note that in these contexts the word carries far less force than it does in its usage as a synonym for female genitalia.
* Sometimes used as a satirical abbreviation for the War on Terror (TWAT = The War Against Terror)
