  2. Endometrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometrium

    The endometrium is the inner epithelial layer, along with its mucous membrane, of the mammalian uterus. It has a basal layer and a functional layer: the basal layer contains stem cells which regenerate the functional layer. [1] The functional layer thickens and then is shed during menstruation in humans and some other mammals, including other ...

  3. Uterine epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_epithelium

    The uterine epithelial cells produce the basal lamina on which they rest. [6] The basal lamina is composed of two regions; the lamina lucida that is an electron lucent layer adjacent to the basal plasma membrane and the lamina densa that is a closely packed network of fibers.

  4. Uterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterus

    From innermost to outermost, these layers are the endometrium, myometrium, and perimetrium. [7] The endometrium is the inner epithelial layer, along with its mucous membrane, of the mammalian uterus. It has a basal layer and a functional layer; the functional layer thickens and then is shed during the menstrual cycle or estrous cycle.

  5. Uterine gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_gland

    Uterine glands or endometrial glands are tubular glands, lined by a simple columnar epithelium, found in the functional layer of the endometrium that lines the uterus. Their appearance varies during the menstrual cycle. During the proliferative phase, uterine glands appear long due to estrogen secretion by the ovaries.

  6. Stromal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromal_cell

    Stromal cells, or mesenchymal stromal cells, are differentiating cells found in abundance within bone marrow but can also be seen all around the body. Stromal cells can become connective tissue cells of any organ, for example in the uterine mucosa (endometrium), prostate, bone marrow, lymph node and the ovary.

    This is a list of cells in humans derived from the three embryonic germ layers – ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm ... Bone (Osteoblast → Osteocyte) Cartilage ...

  8. Female reproductive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_reproductive_system

    The uterus or womb is the major female reproductive organ. The uterus provides mechanical protection, nutritional support, and waste removal for the developing embryo (weeks 1 to 8) and fetus (from week 9 until the delivery). In addition, contractions in the muscular wall of the uterus are important in pushing out the fetus at the time of birth.

  9. Endothelial stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelial_stem_cell

    CEPs are derived from EPCs within the bone marrow, and the bone marrow is a reservoir of stem and progenitor cells. These cell types accelerate the healing process and prevent further complications such as hypoxia by gathering the cellular materials to reconstruct the endothelium. [19]
