Other muscles of the urogenital triangle also give support.īlood supply to the vulva comes from the three pudendal arteries. Pelvic floor muscles support the structures of the vulva. The vulva includes the entrance to the vagina, which leads to the uterus, and provides a double layer of protection for this by the folds of the outer and inner labia.
Other features of the vulva include the pudendal cleft, sebaceous glands, the urogenital triangle (anterior part of the perineum), and pubic hair. The urinary meatus is also included as it opens into the vulval vestibule. The human vulva includes the mons pubis (or mons veneris), labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibular bulbs, vulval vestibule, urinary meatus, the vaginal opening, hymen, and Bartholin's and Skene's vestibular glands.
In mammals, the vulva ( pl.: vulvas or vulvae) consists of the external female genitalia.
