Seminal vesicle
The epithelium and underlying lamina propria of the seminal vesicle are thrown into numerous, intersecting arches. The presence of a central lumen and the numerous arcades surrounding it help to distinguish the seminal vesicle from the ampulla of the oviduct. At the periphery of the gland is a layer of smooth muscle. 100x
