DescriptionUterine anatomy..jpg |
English: The female reproductive tract is shown in panel A comprising a cervix, uterus, and Fallopian tubes. Histologically, the uterine wall can be subdivided into the outer perimetrium, inner endometrium, and intermediate myometrium. Panel B shows cyclic changes during the menstrual cycle. In the sexually mature woman, the uterus goes through monthly cycles in which the functionalis portion of the endometrial lining of the uterus is stimulated to grow by estrogen, which is produced by the ovary. After ovulation, progesterone is also produced by the ovary causing the lining of the uterus to stop growing. If pregnancy is not established, the functionalis is mostly shed, i.e. menstruation. |
