Elaborate on the functions of the uterus
What will be an ideal response?
The uterus has several functions: It undergoes a cycle of change every month that leads to menstruation, and it provides a path for sperm to reach the ovum, which returns to the uterus after it is fertilized and implants itself in the uterine wall. The uterus also nourishes and protects the developing fetus during gestation and provides the contractions for expulsion of the mature fetus during labor. The uterus increases greatly in size and weight during and after a pregnancy and atrophies after menopause.
