Study Notes
- The uterus has two layers: myometrium and endometrium
- Estrogen stimulates growth of both layers
- Progesterone needs estrogen to exert an effect on the endometrium
- Progesterone prepares the endometrium for implantation of fertilized ovum
- Progesterone causes growth of endometrial blood vessels and secretion of glycogen
- Progesterone reduces the contractility of the uterus
- Menstrual cycle has three phases: menstrual, proliferative, and secretory
- Menstrual phase is when the endometrium is shed
- Proliferative phase is when the endometrium regrows under the influence of estrogen
- Secretory phase is when the endometrium is prepared for implantation under the influence of progesterone.
