The endometrium is the mucous membrane that lines the inside of
the uterus (womb). The endometrium changes throughout the
menstrual cycle. It becomes thick and rich with blood vessels to
prepare for pregnancy. If the woman does not get pregnant, part
of the endometrium is shed, causing menstrual bleeding.
