These gland changes are much more marked in the deeper portion of the mucosa than in the superficial, so that there is produced a well-marked differentiation into a superficial compact and a deep spongy layer. In this respect there is a marked similarity to the appearance of the young decidua, the resemblance being increased by the fact that the interglanclular stromal cells in many cases assume an appearance very similar to or approaching that of decidual cells Fig. 66a.—Parous
