Timed pregnant mice were sacrificed via cervical dislocation and the uterus was removed.
Overt auto-traumatization of the uterus with dislocation of fragments of the basal endometrium into the peritoneal cavity and infiltration of the basal endometrium into the depth of the myometrial wall ensues.

Females were killed by cervical dislocation, and the embryos were dissected free of the uterus, washed in PBS, and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA).
At a particular time point pregnant dams were euthanized by cervical dislocation, the uterus rapidly removed onto ice and fetuses dissected out onto ice.
The corpus comprises approximately three-fourths of the uterus.
Villi are embedded in the lining of the uterus.
Scraping (curettage) of the uterus is an older surgical procedure.
Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is found outside the uterus, most commonly in the pelvic cavity.
