functional layer
bullet::::- the "basal layer", adjacent to the myometrium and below the functional layer, is not shed at any time during the menstrual cycle. the functional layer develops on top of it.









































in the absence of progesterone, the arteries supplying blood to the functional layer constrict, so that cells in that layer become ischaemic and die, leading to menstruation.









































it is possible to identify the phase of the menstrual cycle by reference to either the ovarian cycle or the uterine cycle by observing microscopic differences at each phase—for example in the ovarian cycle:

endometrium
myometrium









































the myometrium is the middle layer of the uterine wall, consisting mainly of uterine smooth muscle cells (also called uterine myocytes), but also of supporting stromal and vascular tissue. its main function is to induce uterine contractions.









































section::::structure.









































the myometrium is located between the endometrium (the inner layer of the uterine wall), and the serosa or perimetrium (the outer uterine layer).









































myometrium has 3 layers: outer longitudinal smooth muscles, middle crisscrossing (figure of eight) muscle fibres, and inner circular fibres. middle crisscross fibres act as living ligature during involution of the uterus and prevent blood loss.
