Anatomical terminology |
The vulval vestibule (also known as the vulvar vestibule or vestibule of vagina) is the part of the vulva between the labia minora. On the inside, the urinary meatus and the vaginal introitus open to the vestibule, while the outer edge is marked by Hart's line, named after David Berry Hart.
It represents the distal end of the urogenital sinus of the embryo.[1]
