Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina.
Focus on the uterus, which is a key organ in the reproductive system. It has three layers: the perimetrium (outer layer), myometrium (middle muscular layer), and endometrium (inner lining).
Learn about the menstrual cycle, which is a monthly process that prepares the female body for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the cycle involves shedding of the uterine lining.
Identify the endometrium as the inner lining of the uterus. It thickens during the menstrual cycle in preparation for a potential pregnancy.
Recognize that if pregnancy does not occur, the endometrium is the part of the uterus that sheds during menstruation, resulting in menstrual bleeding.
