Uterus
Contributor:  Christopher
Uterus is also known as the womb and is a thick muscular, hollow, pear shaped organ located between the pelvis and the rectum.


There are 3 layers (the outer / perimetrium, Middle /myometrium, internal / endometrium) 

The Uterus is the place were eggs are fertilized and then the egg develops into a fetus.    Once the egg becomes a fetus the Uterus increases into the abdominal cavity.
