Question
What changes are observed in the uterus if fertilisation does not occur?

Answer

If fertilization does not occur, thickened endometrium (inner lining of uterus) is disintegrated and sloughed off during menstruation phase (day 1-5). Endometrium is needed to support implantation and nutrition of embryo only under pregnancy and is otherwise disintegrated as it does not have any function in non pregnant woman.
