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.
Inside the myometrium is the endometrium layer that borders the hollow lumen of the uterus. The endometrium is made of simple columnar epithelial tissue with many associated exocrine glands and a highly vascular connective tissue that provides support to the developing embryo and fetus during pregnancy.
