The female reproductive organs: uterus (womb)

        THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: UTERUS (WOMB)
The female reproductive organs consist of the uterus, fallopian, tubes, ovaries, cervix, vagina, vulva, clitoris and labia.
Uterus (womb)-The uterus is a hollow muscular organ which is about the size and shape of a flattened pear. It lies between the bladder and the lower end of the bowel and is approximately 7.5 centimetres in length and weighs about 40 grams.
The upper part of the uterus can move forwards and backwards to some degree within the pelvis. Usually, it is tilted forwards so that it lies against the back of the bladder. In this position it is said to be anteverted. However, it may be tilted backwards and when it lies in this position it is said to be retroverted.
The uterus is made up of three layers. The outer layer is known as the peritoneum. The middle layer consists of a thick layer of muscle known as the myometrium. The inner layer which forms the lining is known as the endometrium. When this endometrium is found outside the uterus it is known as endometriosis.
The main function of the uterus is to protect and nourish the growing foetus during pregnancy.
