The inner surface of the labia minora medial to the Ha line is lined by which of the following type of epithelium?
The inner surface of the labia minora medial to the Ha line is lined by squamous epithelium that is non keratinized and the lateral poion of the inner surface is covered by stratified squamous epithelium. Labia minora is a thin fold of tissue, which lies medial to each labia majora. In males the structure homologous to this is ventral shaft of penis. Superiorly labia minora divides into two lamella. The lower pair fuses to form frenulum of the clitoris and upper pair merges to form the prepuce. Inferiorly, labia minora fuses to form the fourchette.
