The vaginal passage is lined with a ciliated columnar epithelium, outside which is a thick muscular coating composed of an internal longitudinal and an external circular layer of fibres. A large number of ductules from unicellular glands, which produce a secretion similar in nature to that of the prostatic gland, open into the vaginal passage through the wall. Posteriorly the passage is continued for a short distance as the wide duct of the large and sac-like accessory vesicle. This vesicle has a wall consisting of a thick glandular epithelium and a fine muscular coating ; in the cavity are contained spermatozoa together with a coagulum of the secretion. In the anterior parts the vaginal passage makes an abrupt downward bend and passes over into a space with a thick and somewhat plicated wall. This space.
