The two Skene's ducts lead from the Skene's glands to the vulvar vestibule, to the left and right of the urethral opening, from which they are structurally capable of secreting fluid. [2] [3] Although there remains debate about the function of the Skene's glands, one purpose is to secrete a fluid that helps lubricate the urethral opening. [2] [3]
There are two types of vestibular glands (also known as female accessory glands), both are structures found near and in the vagina: the greater, or major, vestibular glands are also known as Bartholin's glands; the lesser, or minor vestibular glands also known as Skene's glands
Structures opening in the vulval vestibule are the urethra (urinary meatus), vagina, Bartholin's glands, and Skene's glands. [1]The external urethral orifice is placed about 25–30 millimetres (1–1.2 in) [2] behind the clitoris and immediately in front of that of the vagina; it usually assumes the form of a short, sagittal cleft with slightly raised margins.

Two greater vestibular glands known as Bartholin's glands open into either side of the introitus and secrete a mucous vaginal lubricant. [15] The openings of the lesser vestibular glands, known as Skene's glands, are found on either side of the urethral meatus.

The effects of insulin vary depending on the tissue involved, e.g., insulin is most important in the uptake of glucose by muscle and adipose tissue. [ 2 ] This insulin signal transduction pathway is composed of trigger mechanisms (e.g., autophosphorylation mechanisms) that serve as signals throughout the cell.
