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 provide sensation to the labia majora and labia minora and surrounding skin. They also innervate the vestibule, or entrance, of the vagina.

The counterparts in males are the posterior scrotal nerves.
