Description

The endometrium is the inner membrane of the mammalian uterus. It develops in preparation for the implantation of a blastocyst upon its arrival into the uterus. During pregnancy, the endrometrium becomes rich in glands and blood vessels. These all become interconnected, forming the placenta. The placenta supplies oxygen and nourishment to the embryo as it becomes a foetus and eventually, fully gestates. The endometrial lining undergoes cyclic regeneration. Humans and the great apes display the menstrual cycle, whereas most other mammals are subject to an estrous cycle. In both cases, the endometrium initially proliferates under the influence of estrogen. However, once ovulation occurs, in addition to estrogen, the ovary will also start to produce progesterone. This changes the proliferative pattern of the endometrium to a secretory lining. Eventually, the secretory lining provides a hospitable environment for one or more blastocysts.
