Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Perimetrium
Concept:

The uterine wall is composed of three distinct functional layers.

Solution:

  • The prefix often indicates the position of the anatomical layer relative to the organ.


  • Endometrium (Endo = inside): The inner mucosal layer shed during menstruation.


  • Myometrium (Myo = muscle): The thick, middle smooth muscle layer responsible for contractions.


  • Perimetrium (Peri = around/outer): The thin, outermost serous layer derived from the visceral peritoneum that wraps and protects the uterus.


Why other options are incorrect:

As explained above, endo- implies inner, and myo- implies middle muscular. Mesometrium is a broad ligament portion supporting the uterus, not a wall layer itself.
