    This specimen is the menstrual phase of the UTERUS. However, during the menstrual cycle of a woman it undergoes some changes. The changes in the uterus in this cycle is divided into proliferative, secretory and menstrual phases. The walls of the uterus is composed of three layers. These 3 layers are the Endometrium, Myometrium, and Perimetrium.
    • Endometrium. Has specialized mucosa that whenever menstruation occurs, undergoes marked changes.

      Myometrium. It is composed of three smooth muscle indistinct layers. The Inner and Outer Layers often have longitudinal bundles of smooth muscle. And, the middle layer/stratum vascular is the thickest layer having circular or spiral bundles of smooth muscle with many blood vessels.

      Perimetrium. This layer is covered with an outer serous layer or visceral peritoneum at the outer region. However, in this Uterus menstrual phase specimen, it is not visible.
