What occurs during the secretory phase of the uterine cycle?

During the secretory phase of the uterine cycle, the endometrium continues to thicken in preparation for possible implantation of a fertilized egg. The glands in the endometrium produce a nutrient-rich secretion to support a potential embryo. If fertilization does not occur, this phase will be followed by menstruation.


Which uterine layer is composed of a simple columnar epithelium containing tubular glands?

The uterine layer composed of simple columnar epithelium containing tubular glands is the endometrium. This inner lining of the uterus plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and implantation of the embryo. The tubular glands in the endometrium secrete substances that support the early stages of pregnancy.


How is the endometrium formed?

The endometrium is formed by the proliferation and differentiation of the endometrial cells under the influence of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle. The endometrial lining thickens in preparation for potential pregnancy, and if no pregnancy occurs, it is shed during menstruation.


Are sweat glands formed by connective tissue?

No, sweat glands are formed by epithelial tissue. Sweat glands are tubular structures located in the dermis layer of the skin and are responsible for producing sweat. Connective tissue provides structural support and framework for the skin, but it does not form sweat glands.


What is the role of progesterone in mammary glands?

I Know that progesterone causes breast development, and the more progesterone, the larget breasts. I also know that after firtilization occurs, the follicle produces high levels of progesterone. So, I do believe that progesterone also causes the mamory glands to produce milk several months into pregnancy.

Absence causes the spiral arteries of the endometrium to go into spasm and kink and the endometrium to sloug off?

Absence causes the spiral arteries of the endometrium to go into spasm and kink and the endometrium to slough off menses. This is an ovarian hormone that happens to a woman each month during her cycle.


Does endometrium participate in the formation of the placenta?

No, the endometrium does not directly participate in the formation of the placenta. The placenta is formed from the embryonic tissue (trophoblast) and the maternal tissue (decidua) lining the uterus, not from the endometrium.

What causes the endometrium to repair and grow thick and velvety?

Estrogen


What is exogenous progestin effect?

The exogenous progesterone effect, aka pill endometrium, occurs when a female takes a contraceptive consisting of progesterone. This causes a ripening of the endometrium consisting of increased stroma, plumping of cells (pseudodecidua), and edema. The major difference between this and the secretory phase is that the glands are small and atrophic because they lack a priming by estrogen, therefore the endometrium will break down regularly and you will get DUB (dysfunctional uterine bleeding).
