TissueDB/Structures/Uterus

The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped muscular organ situated in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum, relevant to gynecological and obstetric simulation training.

Component Tissues

Tissue	Layer/Position	Key Properties
Endometrium	Innermost; lines the uterine cavity	Vascular mucosal lining; a superficial functional layer that responds to hormones over a deeper basal layer
Myometrium	Middle; muscular wall	Smooth muscle; the middle muscular layer, and the source of uterine contractions in labour
Perimetrium/Serosa	Outermost; visceral peritoneum	Peritoneal covering; a thin layer of epithelial cells
Uterine vessels	Within the myometrium	Uterine artery branches run in the myometrium as arcuate arteries, giving radial and then basal and spiral arteries to the endometrium
