What is the Role of the Endometrium in Sexual Reproduction?
The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus and plays a crucial role in the implantation and nourishment of the embryo. Histologically, the endometrium undergoes cyclical changes in response to hormonal signals. During the menstrual cycle, it thickens to prepare for potential implantation. If fertilization occurs, the endometrium provides a supportive environment for the developing embryo.
