A receptacle, or pouch, connected with the oviducts of many invertebrates in which the eggs are retained until they hatch or until the embryos develop more or less
the hollow muscular organ in female mammals in which the fertilized ovum usually becomes embedded, and in which the developing embryo and fetus are nourished (Morris 1992)
a muscular organ in the female where the fertilized egg implants and the subsequent embryo and fetus develops The lining of the uterus (endometrium) provides nutrients for the developing baby The cavity opens through the cervix and into the vagina The fallopian tubes extend from the top of the uterus and lead to the ovaries
The lower end of the oviduct that is modified for a specific function In a female placental mammal, it is where the embryo implants In the female chick, it is where water and salts are added to the albumen and the shell is deposited In the chick, also called the shell gland
The uterus of a woman or female mammal is her womb. an ultrasound scan of the uterus. uteruses the organ in a woman or female mammal where babies develop = womb. or womb Inverted-pear-shaped organ of the female reproductive system, in which the embryo and fetus develop during pregnancy. Lying over and behind the bladder, it is 2.5-3 in. (6-8 cm) long and about 2.5 in. (6 cm) across at the top, where the fallopian tubes enter it; at the other end, the cervix extends down into the vagina. The uterine lining (endometrium), a moist mucous membrane, changes in thickness during the menstrual cycle (see menstruation), being thickest at ovulation in readiness for a fertilized egg. The uterine wall, about 1 in. (2.5 cm) thick, expands and becomes thinner as a fetus develops inside. The cervix expands to about 4 in. (10 cm) for delivery. Disorders of the uterus include infections, benign and malignant tumours, prolapse, endometriosis, and fibroids (leiomyomas; see muscle tumour)
