Vagina Histology Overview
(Stain - Haematoxylin Eosin)
The wall of the vagina fibromuscular tube consists of 3 layers: mucosa, muscularis and adventitia.
Mucosa
- 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).
Muscularis
- inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of smooth muscle
- bulbospongiosus muscle - (striated) forms an inferior sphincter around the vagina
Adventitia
- 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.
