A canal in a female mammal that leads from the uterus to the external orifice of the genital canal.

An elongate muscular pouch, the anterior part of which is the uterus, where eggs are fertilized, and the posterior part of which, the vulva is the copulatory orifice and site of exit for eggs.

In most female insects, an ectodermal pouch derived from the posteroventral part of abdominal segment VIII (possibly IX in some insects) and sometimes adjacent parts of the abdominal venter; ending anteriorly at the posterior end of the common oviduct. In mosquitoes and some other insects, the roof of the vagina is formed by the venter of abdominal segment IX; partially divided transversely by the spermathecal eminence and sometimes the upper vaginal sclerites.

Organ with organ cavity which connects the cervical canal of uterus to the vestibule of vagina. Examples: There is only one vagina.
