The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. Each month, the endometrium thickens and renews itself, preparing for pregnancy. If pregnancy doesnât occur, the endometrium sheds in a process known as menstruation. If conception takes place, the embryo implants into the endometrium.
The uterus is a pear-shaped, muscular, hollow organ with a triple-layered wall: an outer tunica serosa, the perimetrium, a thick tunica muscularis, the myometrium, and an inner tunica mucosa, the endometrium.The endometrium is the layer in which the implantation takes place.his takes place via the proliferation and differentiation of the endometrium. If the implantation does not occur, the functional (outermost) layer of the endometrium is shed and expulsed, leading to menstruation.
