Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy [ edit on Wikidata]

The posterior labial nerves are superficial branches of the perineal nerve, which in itself is a branch of the pudendal nerve. The posterior labial nerves innervate the vestibule, or entrance, of the vagina. ^{[1] [2]}

The counterparts in males are the posterior scrotal nerves. ^[1]
