When not sexually aroused, the vagina is a collapsed tube, with the front and back walls placed together. The vaginal and urethral openings are protected by the labia. Near the upper vagina, the cervix protrudes into the vagina on its front surface at approximately a 90 degree angle. The vaginal canal travels upwards and backwards, between the urethra at the front, and the rectum at the back. The urogenital triangle is the front triangle of the perineum and also consists of the urethral opening and associated parts of the external genitalia. The opening of the vagina lies in the urogenital triangle. The human vagina is an elastic, muscular canal that extends from the vulva to the cervix. See also: Vaginal support structures Pelvic anatomy including organs of the female reproductive system Because a better understanding of female genitalia can help combat sexual and psychological harm with regard to female development, researchers endorse correct terminology for the vulva. It may be that the incorrect use of the term vagina is due to not as much thought going into the anatomy of the female genitals as has gone into the study of male genitals, and that this has contributed to an absence of correct vocabulary for the external female genitalia among both the general public and health professionals. Medically, one description of the vagina is that it is the canal between the hymen (or remnants of the hymen) and the cervix, while a legal description is that it begins at the vulva (between the labia). Using the term vagina to mean "vulva" can pose medical or legal confusion for example, a person's interpretation of its location might not match another's interpretation of the location. Although by its dictionary and anatomical definitions, the term vagina refers exclusively to the specific internal structure, it is colloquially used to refer to the vulva or to both the vagina and vulva. The vagina may also be referred to as the birth canal in the context of pregnancy and childbirth. The term vagina is from Latin meaning "sheath" or " scabbard" the plural of vagina is either vaginae, or vaginas. By its dictionary and anatomical definitions, however, vagina refers exclusively to the specific internal structure, and understanding the distinction can improve knowledge of the female genitalia and aid in healthcare communication. In common speech, the word vagina is often used to refer to the vulva or to the female genitals in general. The vagina and vulva have evoked strong reactions in societies throughout history, including negative perceptions and language, cultural taboos, and their use as symbols for female sexuality, spirituality, or regeneration of life. Other health issues may also affect the human vagina. Along with pleasure and bonding, women's sexual behavior with others (which can include heterosexual or lesbian sexual activity) can result in sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the risk of which can be reduced by recommended safe sex practices. The texture of the vaginal walls creates friction for the penis during sexual intercourse and stimulates it toward ejaculation, enabling fertilization. This increase in moisture provides vaginal lubrication, which reduces friction. To accommodate smoother penetration of the vagina during sexual intercourse or other sexual activity, vaginal moisture increases during sexual arousal in human females and other female mammals. In amphibians, birds, reptiles and monotremes, the cloaca is the single external opening for the gastrointestinal, urinary, and reproductive tracts. The vaginal opening is much larger than the nearby urethral opening, and both are protected by the labia in humans. This is different from male mammals, who usually have a single urethral opening for both urination and reproduction. ![]() Female mammals usually have two external openings in the vulva these are the urethral opening for the urinary tract and the vaginal opening for the genital tract. It also channels menstrual flow, which occurs in humans and closely related primates as part of the menstrual cycle.Īlthough research on the vagina is especially lacking for different animals, its location, structure and size are documented as varying among species. The vagina allows for sexual intercourse and birth. At the deep end, the cervix (neck of the uterus) bulges into the vagina. The outer vaginal opening is normally partly covered by a thin layer of mucosal tissue called the hymen. In humans, it extends from the vestibule to the cervix. In mammals, the vagina is the elastic, muscular part of the female genital tract. ![]() ![]() ![]() A finely-tuned, timely applied use of humour is known to relieve stressful situations. Having a ‘good’ sense of humour is not a pre-requisite for tact and diplomacy: but awkward, rude, crude or aggressive humour can certainly undermine relationships. You may be a quick wit, but poor at telling a good story, holding the punch-line to just the right moment. Not all of us are comics, even if we are quick to respond. It’s one thing to be responsive to humourous situations, it’s another to generate humour. (Are these serious questions? Or maybe I’m just joking with you.) (“The clearest indication of character is what people find laughable.” – Goethe)ĭoes having high intelligence give you a sense of humour?, or does having a sense of humour make you merely appear intelligent? But what kind of intelligence? Or as Woody Allen has said, maybe a sense of humour is just a freak of nature. Conversely, intelligent people may not find ‘low-brow’ humour funny, and probably would be embarrassed that they actually laughed at someone else’s misfortune. I hate to say it, not all of us are blessed with enough contextual or situational awareness for a really ‘wicked’ sense of humour – some stuff just goes over our heads. the situation, verbal or otherwise, the more the receiver needs to be tuned into it. It also appears sense of humour is correlated with intelligence – fast processing synapses. ![]() When synapses are tickled, the mind laughs. Then comes the punch-line, the unexpected event, the surprising break in the pattern. Consequently the mind anticipates outcomes when the patterns become evident. The brain processes information constantly and compares it with already known things in order to evaluate and act accordingly. (I wonder how many men go without dates because they lack a good sense of humour, or the right kind of humour.)Ĭuriously, humour has to do with the brain/mind being ‘surprised’ by what just happened. Read any on-line dating service and you’ll see that women expect men to have a good sense of humour. Humour, used wisely, is a great device for relaxing emotion in relationships. But since it was an accidental offense there is no need to overdo the apology. If you commit a faux pas and you realize the other party is sensitive to the remark, and does not find it amusing, you should apologize immediately you are aware you have blundered. Most times people accurately determine what is tactless and what is merely a slip-up. The relationship between comedy and faux pas helps to demonstrate the importance many people put on acceptable social interactions, in a wide variety of settings. This can be particularly true across different cultures or demographics and is why comedy does not always translate or travel well. Conversely, if you lack knowledge or experience of socially acceptable behaviour you are less likely to get the joke. The more in tune you are with the rules of etiquette the more likely you are to react to the embarrassment caused to others in such situations. Such situations can make the audience cringe, empathize with and ultimately laugh at the characters being portrayed. Naturally, communicating with tact and diplomacy means avoiding false steps.Īs a faux pas is unintentional – a mistake or blunder, not a deliberate act of rudeness – it is often considered amusing, especially to an observer, although can be very embarrassing for the person or people involved.įor these reasons faux pas are used frequently in comedy – especially in sit-coms. A ‘faux pas’ (from French meaning ‘false step’) is usually an accidental, or unintentional, breach of socially accepted norms, manners or etiquette. ![]() ![]() ![]() Aspen forests will eventually become spruce and fir forests as the taller, more dense trees shade out the aspen underneath the canopy. ![]() This green layer of the bark makes it survival food for deer and elk during hard winters.Īspens can be identified by their smooth, white bark marked by black scars.īecause of their vegetative reproduction, aspens are in no danger of going extinct. The other aspect of their lifestyle that makes them unique is that beneath the thin white outer bark is a thin photosynthetic green layer that allows the plant to synthesize sugars and keep growing even during the winter when all other deciduous trees go into dormancy. The largest known clone in existence is called "Pando" and is located in the Fishlake National Forest north of Bryce Canyon National Park in central Utah. Aspen "clones," as the individual root systems are called, can live to be thousands of years old. By examining this different color patchwork along a mountainside you can distinguish individual clones from each other.Īsexual or vegetative reproduction from root systems offers many benefits including phenomenal longevity. Members of different clones will all have the same shade of color transitioning from green to yellow at the same time. Even easier and more obvious is to watch as aspen forests change color in the fall. With careful inspection, clones can be mapped, as all the trees that sprout from a single clone will have the same branching structure because they are genetically identical to one another. Only after severe fire and under ideal climatic conditions, will aspen reproduce sexually as a flowering plant. This is called "vegetative" or asexual reproduction. ![]() Then the roots sprout up white things called trunks that then leaf off green things called leaves. Think of aspens as large 1-20 acre systems of roots that remain hidden underground until there's enough sunlight. First of all, a stand of aspen is really only one huge organism where the main life force is underground. In fact they are so different that it may be better not to think of aspens as trees. Whereas aspen leaves are perfectly flat, birch leaves are slightly "V" shaped and more elongated than Quaking Aspen leaves.Īspen are remarkable and unique trees. Birch are famous for having bark that peels back like paper aspen bark does not peel. Although aspen are somewhat similar in appearance to some species of birch, birch trees belong to an entirely different family of trees. ![]() Quaking Aspens are often confused with birch trees. The only absolute requirement for Quaking Aspen is lots of sunlight. They prefer moist soil, but can grow near intermittent springs in desert environments that receive less then 7 inches of annual precipitation. Quaking Aspens grow in large and dense colonies throughout North America enduring lows of -78° F and highs of 110° F. In the fall leaves turn yellow, gold, and in rare instances, even red. In the spring and summer, leaves are glossy green on the upper surface and dull green underneath. This gives the overall tree the appearance that it is quaking or trembling - hence the common name Quaking Aspen and the scientific name's specific epithet - tremuloides. The leaves attach to branches via a long and flattened petiole, so that even the slightest breeze causes the leaves to flutter. Quaking Aspen leaves are somewhat heart shaped, with finely saw-toothed margins and range in size from 1.25-3" (3-8 cm) long. Aspens can be identified by their smooth, white bark marked by black scars where lower branches are naturally self-pruned. ![]() ![]() It wasn’t until after her parents’ death that Solis saw Selena’s appearance.
