Where is the fossa navicularis located?

  1. Between the vagina and anus

  2. Within the uterine cavity

  3. Adjacent to the ovaries

  4. In the fallopian tubes

The correct answer is: Between the vagina and anus

The fossa navicularis is located between the vagina and the urethra, specifically at the posterior aspect of the vaginal opening. It is an anatomical space that serves as a context in various gynecological and sexual health assessments. Understanding its location is important for healthcare professionals, particularly in sexual assault examinations, as it can help in identifying signs of trauma or injury that may involve the vulvar area. The association with the vaginal canal is significant for the anatomical and functional understanding of female reproductive health.
