Endometrium

Endometrium is the inner lining of the womb.the womb proper is a solid,muscular organ,the thicness of its wall is about one-third of an inch,but its inner lining or mucous membrane is only 1/25 of an inch in thickness and consist of a single layer of columnara cells which have a hairlike growth (celea) on their surfaces making it seem velvety.

This layer of cells dips down forming shallow straight glands like pores in the skin.The glands secrete a thin, clear mucus when in a healthy state.But when infection is introduced, as in an acute and chronic endometritis, the discharge becomes dirty, offensive and iritating, just as in the case of a bad infection in the nose when the discharge changes from clean, watery mucus to pus-like phlegm
