Everything about The Myometrium totally explained
The
myometrium is the middle layer of the
uterine wall consisting of smooth muscle cells and supporting stromal and vascular tissue.
The inner layer of the uterine wall is the
endometrium or uterine lining, and the outer layer the serosa or
perimetrium. The myometrium stretches (the smooth muscle cells expand in both size and number) during
pregnancy to allow for the harboring of the pregnancy, and contracts in a coordinated fashion during the process of
labor. After
delivery the myometrium contracts to expel the
placenta and reduce blood loss.
Lack of contraction at this stage is termed
uterine atony. After pregnancy the uterus returns to its nonpregnant size by a process of myometrial involution.
Pathology
Neoplasms of the myometrium are very common, termed uterine
leiomyomata or fibroids. Their malignant version, leiomyosarcoma, is rare.
