| pars annularis vaginae fibrosae | One of the two circular fibrous bands of the fibrous sheaths of the fingers and toes attached to the shaft of the proximal and middle phalanges.

| pars anterior fornicis vaginae | The portion of the fornix of the vagina anterior to the uterine cervix. Synonym: pars anterior fornicis vaginae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cruciformis vaginae fibrosae | The fibres of the fibrous sheath of the fingers and toes which form X-shaped patterns over the region of the interphalangeal joints. Synonym: pars cruciformis vaginae fibrosae, crucial ligament, cruciform part of fibrous sheath, cruciform pulley, ligamenta cruciata digitorum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pars lateralis fornicis vaginae | pars lateralis fornicis vaginae |
| pars posterior fornicis vaginae | The recess at the vault of the vagina; it is divided into an anterior part, posterior part, and lateral part with respect to its relation to the cervix of the uterus. The posterior part is clinically significant as the site for culdocentesis and culdoscopy. The proximity of the ureter (below) and the uterine artery (above) adjacent to the lateral fornix is important clinically. Synonym: fornix vaginae, fornix uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
