The stratum functionalis is the layer of the endometrium that builds up and is shed during the menstrual cycle in nonpregnant women. The stratum basalis is the deeper layer that remains after shedding and serves as the source of new endometrial tissue. The stratum spinosum, lucidum, and corneum are layers found in the epidermis of the skin, not the uterus.
