Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The endometrium is the inner lining of your uterus. This tissue is what you shed during a menstrual period. Think of endometrium as layers of tissue that build up along the inside lining of your uterus.

Detailed explanation-2: -The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endometrium is a lining that coats the uterus. Each month when the ovaries release an egg, the endometrial lining, also known as the uterine lining, thickens in preparation for an embryo. If the egg does not get fertilized, the lining sheds and exits the body via the vaginal canal.

Detailed explanation-4: -The endometrium is the tissue that lines the uterus, or womb-the pear-shaped organ that houses a fetus. This mucous membrane thickens in anticipation of a possible pregnancy. If a fertilized egg is implanted, the lining stays in place. If not, the endometrium thins and sheds as a menstrual period.

Detailed explanation-5: -The endometrium is the innermost lining layer of the uterus, and functions to prevent adhesions between the opposed walls of the myometrium, thereby maintaining the patency of the uterine cavity. During the menstrual cycle or estrous cycle, the endometrium grows to a thick, blood vessel-rich, glandular tissue layer.
