The higher power diagram reveals the cytological appearance of the simple tubular gland of the endometrial lining of the uterus showing the ciliated columnar cells resting on the basement membrane (deep blue) which in turn are embedded in a stroma (pink) code uterus the common vein endometrial cavity endometrial stripe epithelium histology ciliated columnar epithelium basement membrane histology cytology
