The pelvis has been opened to expose the distal portion of the reproductive tract, and an incision has been made in the left lateral wall of the reproductive tract.
Starting where we left off on image 2, the cervix (A) separates the uterus from the vagina (B); The urethra (C) joins the vagina at the urethral tubercle (D); The pin is within the external urethral orifice; At this point, the reproductive tract becomes the vestibule (E) caudally; In the ventral wall of the vestibule, we find the female homologue of the penis, the clitoris (F), which contains cavernous tissue; The vulva is bounded by the labia (G). Better images lie ahead.
