STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM – 4
The cytoplasm of the cells of the stratified squamous epithelium of the vaginal mucosa generally stains poorly with HE. This allows the cell contours to be observed very clearly.
The location of the layers is indicated by moving the mouse or clicking.
Note again that this is an epithelium with many layers of cells, that the cells have different shapes at different heights of the epithelium and that the superficial cells are flattened (squamous).
