Uterus
The uterine wall consists of 3 layer: perimetrium, myometrium, and endometrium; the endometrium, has 2 sublayers, the functional layer and the basal layer.
Examine the 3 pictures of the uterus: menstrual, proliferative, secretive phases. Draw sketches of each slide and label the endometrium and myometrium layers.
Menstrual phase:
Proliferative phase:
Secretive phase:
Discuss how the histology of the uterus changes during progression through the 3 phases of the uterine cycle. Relate differences in anatomy to differences in physiology.

Three phase of the uterine cycle. Notice the functional layer of the menstrual phase is almost gone. The proliferative phase is when the functional lining is building back up. It's thicker and has small endometrial glands. The secretory phase is getting ready for implantation of the fertilized egg. The tissue becomes more juicy and the glands are large and dominate the tissue. If no implantation, this layer sloughs off during the menstural
