Detailed explanation-1: -Anatomy of the female reproductive system. The organs in the female reproductive system include the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. 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 endometrium itself is divided into two layers, the stratum functionalis and stratum basalis. During the menstrual cycle, the stratum functionalis expands and vascularizes and is subsequently sloughed off during the process of menstruation, whereas the stratum basalis remains relatively constant.

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.
