Endometrial Lining

Molecular classification
Tissue, Epithelial Tissue
01

Overview

The endometrial lining, or endometrium, is the innermost mucosal layer of the uterus. It consists of epithelial cells and a supporting stroma and plays a central role in female reproductive health. The endometrium undergoes cyclical changes throughout the menstrual cycle in response to hormonal signals, primarily estrogen and progesterone. Its primary functions include preparing for embryo implantation, maintaining pregnancy, and shedding during menstruation.
