The stratum functionalis of the endometrium is the layer that thickens and sheds during the menstrual cycle. The perimetrium is the outermost layer of the uterus, the myometrium is the thick middle layer of muscle, and the stratum basalis is the layer of the endometrium that does not shed during menstruation but instead gives rise to the new functional layer each cycle.
