Question

Endometriosis occurs when fragments of endometrial tissue undergo retrograde (moving backward) menstruation, resulting in displaced tissue that often attaches to the peritoneum of the pelvic cavity. These fragments respond to hormonal changes, resulting in bouts of severe pain even after menstruation has ended. Explain how the female anatomy contributes to the ability of this tissue to relocate and attach to the peritoneum.

Answer 1

Answer: Women's reproductive system has two tubes called Fallopian tubes which are connected to uterus and they take the egg (ovum) from ovaries...

These tubes are opened to the peritoneum which means the blood and tissues from menstrual cycle can enter the tubes and go to peritoneum tissue and there they can cause endometriosis

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The endometrium tissue and peritoneum in female anatomy helps to cure Endometriosis.

Explanation:

In Endometriosis, the endometrial tissue in female become dislocated outside the uterus. This tissue is generally attached to the peritoneum in pelvic area. However, it has been seen that both the tissue and peritoneum contribute in relocating the tissue to peritoneum.

Study shows, that in endometriosis, a difference in the interaction between the peritoneum and endometrial cell takes place. Peritoneal mesothelial cell undergoes a change like mislaying of tight junctions can help in binding the endometrial cell with extracellular matrix and it also produces MMPs that helps in remodelling tissue.
