The wall of the vagina fibromuscular tube consists of 3 layers: mucosa, muscularis and adventitia.

stratified squamous epithelium (deep stratum basalis, intermediate stratum spinosum, superficial layers of flat eosinophilic cells
rests on a very cellular lamina propria (many leukocytes).
towards the muscularis some vascular cavernous spaces may be seen (erectile tissue).

inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of smooth muscle
bulbospongiosus muscle - (striated) forms an inferior sphincter around the vagina

adventitia bordering the muscularis is fairly dense and contains many elastic fibres.
outer part of the adventitia loose connective tissue with a prominent venous plexus.
