Which of the following descriptions best matches the term endometrium?
A
The inner lining of the uterus that thickens during the menstrual cycle
B
The muscular layer of the uterine wall responsible for contractions
C
The outermost layer of the ovary
D
The tube that transports eggs from the ovary to the uterus
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by identifying the term 'endometrium' and its anatomical location. The endometrium is part of the uterus, specifically its inner lining.
Step 2: Understand the function of the endometrium. It thickens during the menstrual cycle in preparation for potential implantation of a fertilized egg.
Step 3: Compare the descriptions provided in the question. Eliminate options that do not match the anatomical location or function of the endometrium. For example, the muscular layer responsible for contractions refers to the myometrium, not the endometrium.
Step 4: Further eliminate options that describe structures unrelated to the uterus, such as the outermost layer of the ovary or the tube transporting eggs (fallopian tube).
Step 5: Select the description that accurately matches the endometrium: 'The inner lining of the uterus that thickens during the menstrual cycle.'
