6.3 POJA-L2734+2736+2737
Title: Seminal vesicle
Description:
(A, B, C) Stain Azan, human.
The seminal vesicle (or glandula vesiculosa) consists of a coiled or convoluted tube that has been cut four times in the section of (A).
The lumen of the tube is formed by foldings of the mucosa resulting in labyrinth-like structures. The epithelium (1), with secretory
activity, is single- or two-layered pseudostratified with high columnar cells. The lamina propria (2) contains many elastic fibers but
remains rather small. The tunica muscularis (3) has formed two helically winded smooth muscle layers needed to expulse the secreted liquid in the lumen (5) concomitant with the ejaculate. The whole tube is enclosed within a capsula fibrosa (4).
