The endometrium is the innermost layer of the uterus that lines the uterine cavity. It is shed each month during menstruation if fertilization and implantation of a zygote do not occur. The myometrium is the middle layer of smooth muscles that contract during labor and delivery. The perimetrium is the outermost layer that covers the uterus. Mucous is a type of secretion produced by the cervix that helps to lubricate the vagina.
