Abstract
Implantation of ova into the wall of the uterus involves complex cellular changes in the endometrium resulting in the formation of the placenta. In preparation for these changes the cells of each of the three main tissues of the endometrium undergo a cycle of proliferation and differentiation under the control of the ovarian hormones that are secreted in a characteristic pattern during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy.
