Endometrium
Definition:
(n.) The membrane lining the inner surface of the uterus, or womb.
Example Sentences:
(1) The organisms are transmitted transovarially, diaplacentally, via endometrium, before or after implantation, via amnion or by the semen when ascending through the infectious environment.
(2) The normal tissues included the ovary, fallopian tube, uterine endometrium, uterine cervix, and vagina.
