    The uterus is a pear-shaped muscular organ that receives fertilized eggs and nourishes developing fetuses. Before pregnancy, the uterus is 5-8cm long and weighs 30-60g, but enlarges during pregnancy and childbirth and then regresses after menopause. The uterus has three parts - the fundus, body, and cervix. It has three layers - endometrium, myometrium, and parametrium. The uterus carries embryos during pregnancy, forms the placenta for embryonic development, and contracts during delivery to expel the baby and placenta.

    Uterus-

    ● The uterus is a thick, muscular, pear shaped organ that


    receives the fertilized oocyte and provides an appropriate
    environment for the ​developing fetus​ .
    ● ​Before the first pregnancy​ ,the size the uterus is about
    5-8cm long and weight about 30-60gm narrow portion
    directed inferiorly. ​After childbirth​
    , the uterus is usually
    larger, then ​regresses after menopause.

    ● Uterus is divided into three parts-


    1-Fundus -​It is upper convex part of uterus, where fallopian
    tube are open.
    2-Body- ​It is middle broad portion, which extend from fundus
    to the cervix.
    3-Cervix-​It is lower neck like region. The lumen of cervix,
    communicates with body of uterus, via ​ internal os​and with
    that of vagina via the ​
    external os
    ● The muscular wall of uterus composed of three layer -
    -Endometrium​(inner layer) -it provides nourishment to
    growing fertilized embryo.
    -Myometrium​(middle layer)
    -Parametrium​(outer layer)
    Function of uterus:

    ● Carry out development of embryo, when pregnancy


    occurs.
    ● Uterine Wall form ​
    placenta,​which is essential for
    embryonic development.
    ● At the time of delivery (parturition), uterus contract
    rhythmically and expels the baby and placenta.
    ​Fallopian tube:
    ● There are two uterine tubes, also called ​ Fallopian tubes​or
    oviducts​. . The end of the tube near the ovary expands to
    form a funnel-shaped infundibulum, which is surrounded by
    fingerlike extensions called ​ fimbriae​
    .
    ● At the time of ovulation, the fimbriae increase their activity
    and create currents in the peritoneal fluid that help propel the
    oocyte into the Fallopian tube.
    ● The journey through the Fallopian tube takes about 7 days.
    Because the oocyte is fertile for only 24 to 48 hours,
    fertilization usually occurs in the Fallopian tube.
    ● It convey the ovum from ovary to the uterus

    Bartholin's glands:
    The Bartholin's glands are two pea sized glands
    ,located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of
    the vagina. They secrete mucus to lubricate the vagina and vulva
    during coitus.

    Vagina:
    The vagina is a fibromuscular tube, about 10 cm long,
    that extends from the cervix of the uterus to the outside. It is
    located between the rectum and the urinary bladder. . The vagina
    serves as a passageway for menstrual flow, receives the erect
    penis during intercourse, and serve as the ​birth canal​during
    parturition.
    The opening of vagina is guarded by thin membranous structure,
    called, ​hymen. ​Hymen is slightly perforated to allow menstrual
    discharge to drain away. Hymen usually ruptured during first
    coitus. It may be ruptured also due to the heavy exercise, sports,
    cycling, sudden shock etc.
