Descriptions

The uterus or womb is the major female reproductive organ of most mammals, including humans. One end, the cervix, opens into the vagina ; the other is connected on both sides to the fallopian tubes. In mammals, the four main forms in which it is found are: bipartite, as in cows; bicornuate, as in pigs; simplex, as with the pear -shaped one found in humans and horses; and duplex, found in rabbits.
