Question

In human females, the endometrium of the uterus consists of:

• A. Smooth muscle
• B. Glandular layer
• C. Adipose layer
• D. Cartilaginous layer

Hint:

The endometrium’s condition is a key factor in successful implantation and pregnancy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In human females, the endometrium of uterus consists of Glandular layer.

(A) Smooth muscle - Incorrect: This describes the myometrium, not endometrium.

(B) Glandular layer - Correct: Endometrium contains uterine glands and stromal tissue for implantation.

(C) Adipose layer - Incorrect: Fat tissue is not a component of endometrium.

(D) Cartilaginous layer - Incorrect: The uterus lacks cartilage in any layer.

The correct answer is (B) Glandular layer, as the endometrium's functional layer contains secretory glands.

Answer 2

The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus, consisting of two layers:

The functional (glandular) layer, which is where the embryo implants during pregnancy and is shed during menstruation.

The basal layer, which regenerates the functional layer after menstruation.

The smooth muscle, adipose tissue, and cartilaginous layer are not part of the endometrium.

Option (B) is correct because the endometrium consists of the glandular layer.
