    This is a picture of a menopausal uterus.The ovaries and uterus do not undergo cyclic changes after menopause. This specimen is from a menopausal uterus:

    The uterine wall is composed of three layers:

    Endometrium – consists of only a surface epithelium and lamina propria with no (or few) uterine glands.
    Simple Columnar Epithelium
    Endometrial Stroma – the underlying lamina propria is highly cellular (stellate cells, macrophages and lymphocytes).
    Cysts – remnants of former uterine glands.
    Myometrium – composed of three indistinct layers of smooth muscle: inner and outer longitudinal layers and middle circular layer.
    Perimetrium – covered by an outer serous layer or visceral peritoneum. (Not found in this specimen.)
