The Vaginal Opening
The vaginal opening lies below that of the urethra which, in females, is independent from the sex organs and is used exclusively for the release of urine. The urethral opening is very small, and it lies roughly halfway between the clitoris and the vaginal opening. By contrast, the vaginal opening is rather large, although it may be partially closed by a thin membrane called the hymen.
