🩺 Product Name: Uterus (Womb)
📚 Category: Human Anatomy | Female Reproductive Organ
🔬 Model: Muscular Organ – Reproductive Function
📝 Description:
The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped muscular organ located in the female pelvis 🧍♀️. It plays a central role in menstruation, implantation, pregnancy, and childbirth 🤰. This dynamic organ can expand dramatically to support the growth of a baby and then return to its original size after delivery.
🧩 Key Features:
Fundus 🏔️: The upper rounded portion, important during pregnancy checks.
Body (Corpus) 🧱: The main section where a fertilized egg implants and a fetus develops.
Endometrium 🍃: The inner lining that thickens each month to prepare for possible pregnancy and sheds during menstruation if fertilization doesn’t occur.
Myometrium 💪: The thick muscular wall that contracts during labor and menstruation.
Cervix 🔐: The narrow, lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina; it dilates during childbirth.
⚙️ Functionality:
Supports the implantation of a fertilized egg 🥚
Nourishes and protects a developing fetus 🍼
Contracts to help expel the baby during labor 👶
Sheds its lining during the menstrual cycle if no fertilization occurs ⏳
📏 Size: ~7.5 cm long (non-pregnant), but can stretch up to 500 times its size during pregnancy!
💡 Interesting Fact:
The uterus has one of the most powerful muscle types in the human body — capable of contractions strong enough to assist in childbirth 🛠️.
