Detailed explanation-1: -The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endometrium has three layers: stratum compactum, stratum spongiosum (which make up the stratum functionalis) and stratum basalis. The wall of the uterus changes during the menstrual cycle, as shown diagramatically here.

Detailed explanation-3: -The uterus is divided into 3 main parts: the fundus, body, and cervix. The female pelvis. Blood is provided to the uterus by the ovarian and uterine arteries, the latter of which arise from the anterior divisions of the internal iliac artery.

Detailed explanation-4: -Endometrium: the inner lining and consists of the functional (superficial) and basal endometrium. Myometrium: the muscle layer and is composed of smooth muscle cells. Serosa/Perimetrium: the thin outer layer composed of epithelial cells.
