Vagina

The mucosa of the vagina is composed of a stratified squamous moist epithelium that accumulates glycogen (under the influence of high estrogen at the time of ovulation) and a well vascularized lamina propria. The thin-walled veins in the connective tissue simulate erectile tissue during arousal. No glands are present in the vagina. 100x
