Multiple Choice

The uterine wall and the vaginal wall share some superficial similarities. For example, in both structures, the middle layer is composed of:

Smooth muscle.

Fibroelastic tissue.

Mucosa.

Adipose tissue.

Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the layers of the uterine wall and the vaginal wall. Both structures have multiple layers, each with distinct functions and compositions.

Understand that the middle layer of both the uterine wall and the vaginal wall is primarily responsible for contraction and support. This layer is known as the muscular layer.

Recognize that smooth muscle is the type of muscle tissue found in the middle layer of both the uterine wall and the vaginal wall. Smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated, allowing for controlled contractions.

Differentiate smooth muscle from other tissue types listed in the options: fibroelastic tissue, mucosa, and adipose tissue. Fibroelastic tissue provides structural support, mucosa is a lining tissue, and adipose tissue stores fat.

Conclude that the middle layer of both the uterine wall and the vaginal wall is composed of smooth muscle, which is essential for their function in contraction and support.
