Internal wall of uterus. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of the mucosa,also known as endometrium,lining the body of the human uterus. The endometrium consists of simple columnar cells of two types: ciliated (not seen) and secretory (seen). Secretory cells are characterised by a great number of microvilli (tiny projections) on their surfaces. These cells secrete glyco-proteinic material,which is useful in protecting the uterine mucosa | |
