Fig. 26, 93W7334, Vagina (ls), H&E
The muscular layer of the vaginal wall consists of smooth muscle
arranged in two ill-defined layers. The outer layer is generally said
to be longitudinally arranged (OL), and the inner layer is generally
said to be circularly arranged (IC), but the fibers are more usually
organized as interlacing bundles surrounded by connective tissue.
Many blood vessels (BV) are seen in the connective tissue.
