Uterus and its modification in
mammals
Uterus
• Uterus is an inverted pear shaped organ of female
reproductive sytem.
• It is a hollow cavity of female mammals in which the fertilized
eggs implant and develops.
• It is situated between the fallopian tube and the vagina.
• It is also known as womb.
Ref. www.britannica.com
Structure of the Uterus
• It is 2.5 to 3.0 inches long and about 2.0 to 2.5 inches across at
the top.
• The Fallopian tube enters the uterus from the top and the cervix
extends down the vagina.
• Oviduct serve as passageways for ova to reach uterus.
• It is lined by the endometrium.
Ref. – Man & Vertebrates by Romer
Anatomy of Uterus
• From outside to inside the path of the uterus is as follows:
• Vagina:Vagina are soft ,distancible, cornified and also grandular in
some of the animals.
• Vagina joins posteriorly by excretory duct urethra to form a
common urogenital cavity, the vestibule.
• It is absent in monotremes.
• In marsupials vagina is a double organ.
• In placental mammals a single vagina is
present.
B:Cervix Uteri(Neck of the Uterus)
It is situated at the neck to the vagina called the neck of uterus.
It is divisible into the following three categories:
1:External orifice of uterus.
2:Canal of the cervix
3:Internal orifice of uterus.
C : Corpus uteri
It is known as body of uterus
Made up of:
1:Cavity of body of uterus
2: Fundus
Histology
• 1: Endometrium:
• Lining of the uterine cavity is called endometrium.
• In most of the mammals including humas the endometrium builts a
lining periodially which if no pregnancy occurs is shed or reabsorbed.
• 2:Myometrium.
• Uterus consists of a smooth muscle known as myometrium.
• The inner most layer of the myometrium is
• known
• as junction zone.
• 3:Perimetrium
• It is a loose connective tissue around the
• uterus.
• 4:Peritoneum.
• Uterus is surrounded by the peritoneum.
Position of Uterus
• Under normal conditions , the
uterus is antiflux and
antiverted.
• Sometimes is also found in
retroverted or retroflexed
condition .
• It is lined by following
ligaments:
• 1-Anterior ligament
• 2-Posterior ligamnet
• 3-Lateral ligament
• 4-Uterosacral ligament
• 5-Round ligament
• 6-Ovarian ligament
Ref. – www.britannica.com
Modification of Uterus
• 1-Duplex Uterus
• It is the most primitive type found
in Eutherian mammals. For
example:Lagomorpha.
• In this type , there are two
separate uteri i.e., completely
double uterus with two cervices,
hence known as duplex uterus.
• Uteri opens into the vagina via
two openings known as os-uteri.
• In montremes , the genital tract is
without vagina . For example :
Ornithorhynchus
• In marsupials, dupex uterus and
dupex vagina is found.
• In placental mammals, the oviduct
unites to form single vagina. For
example : Elephant.
Bipartite Uterus
• Here, the uterus is “Y” shaped externally.
• There is beginning of fusion between two uteri
• Examples : Carnivores, pigs,some ungulates.
• It is also found in some ungulates.
Ref Life of Vertebrates by Young
Bicornuate Uterus
• These are found in sheep , whales , bats.
• Here, the uterus consist of an enlarged posterior cavity
with two uterine horns leading into it.
• In this type , a larger portion of oviduct functions as
uterus.
Simplex Uterus
• It is characteristic of primates including man.
• There is fusion of uterus complete to the mullerian duct
i.e., – uterus and vagina become completely fused.
• There is a single uterine cavity.
• Placenta consists of villi of uterine wall.
Thank You

UTERUS.pptx

  • 1. Uterus and its modification in mammals
  • 2. Uterus • Uterus is an inverted pear shaped organ of female reproductive sytem. • It is a hollow cavity of female mammals in which the fertilized eggs implant and develops. • It is situated between the fallopian tube and the vagina. • It is also known as womb. Ref. www.britannica.com
  • 3. Structure of the Uterus • It is 2.5 to 3.0 inches long and about 2.0 to 2.5 inches across at the top. • The Fallopian tube enters the uterus from the top and the cervix extends down the vagina. • Oviduct serve as passageways for ova to reach uterus. • It is lined by the endometrium. Ref. – Man & Vertebrates by Romer
  • 4. Anatomy of Uterus • From outside to inside the path of the uterus is as follows: • Vagina:Vagina are soft ,distancible, cornified and also grandular in some of the animals. • Vagina joins posteriorly by excretory duct urethra to form a common urogenital cavity, the vestibule. • It is absent in monotremes. • In marsupials vagina is a double organ. • In placental mammals a single vagina is present.
  • 5. B:Cervix Uteri(Neck of the Uterus) It is situated at the neck to the vagina called the neck of uterus. It is divisible into the following three categories: 1:External orifice of uterus. 2:Canal of the cervix 3:Internal orifice of uterus. C : Corpus uteri It is known as body of uterus Made up of: 1:Cavity of body of uterus 2: Fundus
  • 6. Histology • 1: Endometrium: • Lining of the uterine cavity is called endometrium. • In most of the mammals including humas the endometrium builts a lining periodially which if no pregnancy occurs is shed or reabsorbed. • 2:Myometrium. • Uterus consists of a smooth muscle known as myometrium. • The inner most layer of the myometrium is • known • as junction zone. • 3:Perimetrium • It is a loose connective tissue around the • uterus. • 4:Peritoneum. • Uterus is surrounded by the peritoneum.
  • 7. Position of Uterus • Under normal conditions , the uterus is antiflux and antiverted. • Sometimes is also found in retroverted or retroflexed condition . • It is lined by following ligaments: • 1-Anterior ligament • 2-Posterior ligamnet • 3-Lateral ligament • 4-Uterosacral ligament • 5-Round ligament • 6-Ovarian ligament Ref. – www.britannica.com
  • 8. Modification of Uterus • 1-Duplex Uterus • It is the most primitive type found in Eutherian mammals. For example:Lagomorpha. • In this type , there are two separate uteri i.e., completely double uterus with two cervices, hence known as duplex uterus. • Uteri opens into the vagina via two openings known as os-uteri. • In montremes , the genital tract is without vagina . For example : Ornithorhynchus • In marsupials, dupex uterus and dupex vagina is found. • In placental mammals, the oviduct unites to form single vagina. For example : Elephant.
  • 9. Bipartite Uterus • Here, the uterus is “Y” shaped externally. • There is beginning of fusion between two uteri • Examples : Carnivores, pigs,some ungulates. • It is also found in some ungulates. Ref Life of Vertebrates by Young
  • 10. Bicornuate Uterus • These are found in sheep , whales , bats. • Here, the uterus consist of an enlarged posterior cavity with two uterine horns leading into it. • In this type , a larger portion of oviduct functions as uterus.
  • 11. Simplex Uterus • It is characteristic of primates including man. • There is fusion of uterus complete to the mullerian duct i.e., – uterus and vagina become completely fused. • There is a single uterine cavity. • Placenta consists of villi of uterine wall.
