What are the functions of Uterus?
- The uterus is an organ of the female reproductive system.
- It’s shaped like an upside-down pear and has thick walls.
- The main function of the uterus is to house and nourish a fetus until it’s ready for birth.
- If conception occurs, the fertilized egg (the embryo) burrows into the endometrium from which the maternal portion of the placenta, the decidua basalis, will develop.
- As pregnancy progresses, the uterus grows and the muscular walls become thinner, like a balloon being blown up, to accommodate the developing fetus and the protective amniotic fluid produced first by the mother and by the urine and lung secretions of the baby.
- During pregnancy, the muscular layer of the uterus begins contracting on and off in preparation for childbirth.
Hence, option A is the answer.
