From which of the following layers the regeneration of endometrium take place :: (A) Zona basalis, (B) Zona pellucidum, (C) Zona compacta, (D) Zona spongiosum
Answer is A. Zona basalis Endometrium Superficial layer (2/3) Deep layer (1/3) It consists of stratum compactum stratum spongiosum These Layers are supplied by sprial which undergo vasocostriction during secretory phase | This causes necrosis or sloughing of these layers at the time of menstruation Stratum basale (Zona basalis) it is supplied by basllar aeries | During secretory phase these basilar aeries remain straight, so the blood supply stratum basale remains intact. Therefore this layer is not shed and during secretory phase it causes the regeneration.
