Human - secretory phase uterine endometrium (day 15 - 22)

  • Increasing progesterone levels from the corpus luteum increase secretion from the glands.
  • Glands become dilated by secretion of carbohydrate-rich secretions (eg mucin) and cells accumulate glycogen.
  • The endometrium becomes thicker, partly due to the increased fluid (oedema) in the stroma.
