 | | Vaginal lubrication, an estrogen-dependent physiological process, is one of the indicators of genital arousal and tissue integrity. | | | In addition, this study showed that atropine did not significantly affect vaginal blood flow response to pelvic nerve stimulation despite the fact that cholinergic fibers innervate vascular smooth muscle in the rat vagina, suggesting that acetylcholine may not be the primary neurotransmitter responsible for the increase in vaginal engorgement during sexual arousal. | | | Vaginal smooth-muscle relaxation results in increased vaginal length and luminal diameter, especially in the distal two-thirds of the vagina (Fig. |
