UTERUS
U"te*rus, n. Etym: [L.]
1. (Anat.)
Definition: The organ of a female mammal in which the young are developed
previous to birth; the womb.
Note: The uterus is simply an enlargement of the oviduct, and in the
lower mammals there is one on each side, but in the higher forms the
two become more or less completely united into one. In many male
mammals there is a small vesicle, opening into the urinogenital
canal, which corresponds to the uterus of the female and is called
the male uterus, or Etym: [NL.] uterus masculinus.
2. (Zoöl.)
Definition: A receptacle, or pouch, connected with the oviducts of many
invertebrates in which the eggs are retained until they hatch or
until the embryos develop more or less. See Illust. of Hermaphrodite
in Append.
