The wall of uterine horns is represented by three membranes: the mucous membrane (endometrium), muscle (myometrium) and serous (perimetrium).
In group A, the transverse section of the uterine horn showed a stellate shaped lumen encircled by endometrium, myometrium and perimetrium. The endometrium was lined by simple columnar epithelium.
