The uterus is an organ located inside the female body, specifically in the pelvis. It is also known as the womb. It is the place where the development of the fetus takes place during pregnancy.
The uterus is muscular and has a pear-shaped inverted form. It has the ability to expand and contract to accommodate the growing baby.
During menstruation, the lining of the uterus sheds and is expelled as bleeding. If pregnancy does not occur, the uterus prepares to receive a new menstrual cycle.
