Uterus

Examine the slide of the mouse uterus using a low power objective (4 or 10 X). Identify the perimetrium, myometrium and endometrium. Note how wide the endometrium is and the presence of endometrial glands. These glands are coiled and make contact with the uterine lumen to release components needed for early embryonic survival. The degree of coiling changes with the estrous cycle and is dependent on the amounts of estrogen and progesterone in circulation. Now answer some questions regarding the female histology slides.
