Respuesta :

The correct answer is stratum functionalis.
Uterus consists of three layers with distinct structural and functional characteristics. Those are
·     Endometrium-mucosal layer, divided into two layers, the stratum functionalis and stratum basalis ;
 ·     Myometrium-muscularis layer and
 ·     Perimetrium-serosal layer.
During the menstrual cycle (when hormone rise and fall) the stratum functionalis sheds whereas the stratum basalis remains relatively constant.

The layer is Endometrium

This layer undergoes morphological and functional changes that are closely related to the release of generative cyclic hormones.

Further Explanation

The endometrium is the layer where implantation takes place. This layer undergoes morphological and functional changes that are closely related to the release of generative cyclic hormones. In the absence of periodic hormonal influences, that is, before puberty or menopause, this tissue has a constant morphology and thickness.

The endometrium consists mainly of mucosal tissue. The endometrium has two layers: The first layer, the basal stratum, attaches to a layer of uterine smooth muscle tissue called the myometrium. This layer functions as an anchor for the endometrium in the uterus and remains relatively unchanged.

The second layer is dynamic. This changes in response to the monthly hormone flux that guides the menstrual cycle. For this reason, this is called the functionalist strata, or functional layers. This is the part of the endometrium where the fertilized egg (or blastocyst) will be implanted if fertilization occurs.

The endometrial function is as follows:

  • Cyclic changes of the uterine glands and blood vessels during menstruation, as preparation for implantation
  • The location where the blastocyst is usually implanted
  • The location where the placenta develops
