Abstract
Electron microscopic study of the endometrial glandular epithelium of the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) revealed the following three types of cells (1) principal, (2) mucus, and (3) ciliated cells. We further observed that these cells undergo morphologic changes in response to estrogen and progesterone feeding. The morphologic changes observed in the principal and mucus cells represent phases in the transformation of relatively poorly differentiated cells into mature functioning cells. The mucus cells elicit an accelerated maturative and functional change. The morphologic changes of the ciliated cells were least obvious.
