The tilt of the vagina and its relationship to adjacent organs; histology of its mucosa in childhood and adulthood; significance of its dendritic cells; sources of its lubrication; and anatomy of the hymen.
Introduction:
The uterus is a minor sex organ involved in reproduction, and it is present in human and other mammals. It is pear shaped and is localized in the pelvic zone. The fallopian tubes are otherwise known as the uterine tubes or oviducts. These tubes are 10 cm in length. During fertilization, if the sperm is present, the fallopian tube transfers the fertilized egg near the womb for implantation. The womb or uterus is a thick chamber made of muscles that unlocks into the vaginal roof.
