vestibule of vagina

UBERON:0008330 ·resolve ·HOST_ASSOCIATED ·CLOSE REVIEWED

The space posterior to the glans clitoridis, between the labia minora; located within the vestibule are the openings of the vagina, the urethra, and the ducts of the lesser vestibular glands, the greater vestibular (Bartholin's) glands, and the paraurethral (Skene's) glands, which release mucus into the vestibule to maintain a moist, lubricated vestibular environment; the vestibule is also moistened by secretions from the cervical mucus glands located in the inferior region of the uterus. — UBERON

REVIEW 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5
Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. Risky-grounding review (#12): the flag is lexical: the source label and the term label are different names for the same thing, so they share no word by construction. Read against the source path, the term is the concept. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.ad4dabd552)
