7.2 POJA-L1597+1364+1366
Title: Vagina (human, adult)
Description: Stain: Azan.
(A): Survey of vagina as a fibromuscular tube; (*) lumen; (XX) transverse folds (rugae vaginales); (1) transparant epithelium of varying thickness; (2) dense- stained proper lamina; (3) smooth muscular layer and (4) adventitial region.
(B): (1) Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium (NKSSE) with swollen transparent superficial cells due to presence of glycogen; (2) proper lamina with many small-sized blood vessels; (3a) internal circular muscular layer with oblique decussating muscle fascicules (3b); (3c) external longitudinal muscular layer, the adventitial layer (4) is teared off.
(C): Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium (NKSSE, 1) sharply demarcated by a basal layer (→) from the proper lamina (2) with numerous small blood vessels; at (5) lymphocytic aggregation and infiltration into the damaged NKSSE (6); (7) epithelial ridge with cross-sections (arrowheads) of small connective tissue papillae.
Keywords/Mesh: female reproductive organs, vagina, epithelium, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, histology, POJA collection.
