Gebärmutterhöhle

The Gebärmutterhöhle, also known as the uterine cavity, is the central hollow space within the uterus. It is a triangular-shaped, muscular organ in the female reproductive system. The Gebärmutterhöhle is lined with a specialized tissue called the endometrium. This lining plays a crucial role in menstruation and pregnancy. During the menstrual cycle, the endometrium thickens in preparation for potential implantation of a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur, the endometrium sheds, resulting in menstruation. If fertilization does occur, the embryo implants in the endometrium, and the Gebärmutterhöhle provides a nurturing environment for the developing fetus throughout pregnancy. The Gebärmutterhöhle is connected to the fallopian tubes at its upper corners and to the vagina through the cervix at its lower end. Its size and shape can vary slightly between individuals and throughout a woman's reproductive life.
