Adilated blood-vessel is seen in the upper right corner. A few round cells are scattered through thetissue. With the cessation of the bleeding begins a regeneration of the mucosa.The secretion becomes clearer and finally disappears. The mucosa returns toits previous thickness of 2 or 3 mm. The blood-vessels shrink to their normalsize, and the extravasated blood in the stroma gradually becomes absorbed,leaving for a time small brownish pigmented spots. The broken surface epi- PHYSIOLOGY OF THE UTERUS AND OVARIES 29 thelial layer becomes regenerated by the growth of new cells.

If no menstruation takes place, or, in other words, if conception has 30 GYNECOLOGY occurred, the premenstrual mucosa maintains its character and merges into atrue decidua. It has been shown that during the cyclical change there is an increasingglycogen production from the mucosa, which reaches its height during themenstrual flow, after whic
