      - increase sperm motility
      - clots, then liquefies semen deposited in vagina
- - - - middle layer, contracts during childbirth
    - - functional layer
        
        sheds each month if fertilization of ovum doesn't occur
      - basal layer
        
        regenerates a new functional layer after menstruation
