endometrial gland

The mucous secreting gland associated with the mucuous membrane lining the uterus. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the endometrial gland is

The mucous secreting gland associated with the mucuous membrane lining the uterus. The atlas records it as a gland at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the endometrial gland is

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the endometrial gland connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of endometrium and endometrium glandular epithelium.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the endometrial gland. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Questions

Where is the endometrial gland?

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the endometrial gland connect to?

Part of: endometrium and endometrium glandular epithelium.

Is the endometrial gland the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
