Uterine Cavity
The uterine cavity is the hollow space within the uterus, a key organ in the female reproductive system. It is lined with a tissue called the endometrium, which thickens and sheds during the menstrual cycle. This cavity plays a crucial role in pregnancy, as it is where a fertilized egg implants and develops.
The shape of the uterine cavity can vary among individuals, but it is generally pear-shaped. Its size and condition can be assessed through medical imaging techniques like ultrasound. Understanding the uterine cavity is important for diagnosing and treating various reproductive health issues.
