title: Ultrastructural study of human uterine epithelium from a patient with a confirmed pregnancy.
abstract: Scanning and transmission electron microscopy have been used to study the uterine epithelial cells from a pregnant human uterus approximately 8 days after ovulation. The ultrastructural appearance of the epithelial cells generally conforms with that previously described as showing receptivity, although some significant regional variability exists.
