Which pair of structures are folds of tissue that surround the urethral and vaginal openings?
Correct Answer:
Fallopian tubes; Uterus
Explanation:
The folds surrounding the urethral and vaginal openings are the labia majora and labia minora. These two sets of skin folds form the external lips of the vulva: the labia majora are the outer, thicker, skin-covered lips, and the labia minora are the thinner, inner folds. They frame the vestibule, the space that contains the urethral opening and the vaginal opening, providing protection and tactile sensation. Other choices don’t fit because the perineum is a region between the vaginal opening and the anus, not a pair of folds around the openings; and the vagina with the cervix or the Fallopian tubes with the uterus are internal structures that do not enclose the urethral or vaginal openings with folds.
