Abstract
The following series of Plates (3.1–3.9) illustrates the cyclic alteration of the endometrium in the early proliferative phase (day 6 of the cycle, a), in the midcycle (day 15, b), and in the late secretory phase (day 29, c). For a better understanding of the endocrine influence on the morphology of the endometrial surface epithelium, these three typical phases from a biphasic cycle are compared with the atrophic endometrium originating from a senile woman (d).
