The membrane becomes extremely thick, vascular,and deeply convoluted (except near the orifices of the Fallopiantubes and os internum), so as to obliterate, or almost ftU, thecavity of the womb. The hypertrophied mucous membranethus formed on all sides of the uterine cavity is called thedeeidua vera. Fig. 27.
