What is "uterus"?
The uterus, also known as the womb, is a hollow, muscular organ located in the female pelvis. It serves as the site for the development and nourishment of a fertilized egg during pregnancy. The uterus consists of three layers: the innermost lining called the endometrium, which thickens and sheds during the menstrual cycle; the muscular middle layer known as the myometrium, responsible for contracting during labor and childbirth; and the outer layer called the perimetrium. The uterus is capable of expanding to accommodate a growing fetus and contracts to facilitate the delivery of the baby during childbirth.
Example
The uterus undergoes contractions during labor to expel the baby.
Η μήτρα υπόκειται σε συσπάσεις κατά τη διάρκεια της γέννας για να αποβάλει το μωρό.
Endometrial tissue lines the uterus and sheds during menstruation.
Το ενδομήτριο επενδύει τη μήτρα,σαρκώμα και αποβάλλεται κατά τη διάρκεια της εμμήνου ρύσεως.
