ABSTRACT

Normal Anatomy and Histology of Uterus The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ with thick muscular walls. In the young nulliparous adult, it measures 3 in. (8 cm) long, 2 in. (5 cm) wide, and 1 in (2.5 cm) thick. It is divided into the fundus, body, and cervix (Snell et al., 2008). The fundus is the part of the uterus that lies above the entrance of the uterine tubes. The body is the part of the uterus that lies below the entrance of the uterine tubes. The cervix is the narrow part of the uterus. It pierces the anterior wall of the vagina and is divided into the supravaginal and vaginal parts of the cervix. (Snell et al., 2008). The cavity of the uterus is triangular in coronal section, but its anterior and posterior walls are apposed, giving it a slit-like appearance in the sagittal plane.(Ryan et al., 2006)
