bicornate uterus

A bicornuate uterus is a type of uterus found in some female mammals, characterized by distinct uterine horns that are separate for less than half their length. The lower part of the uterus forms a common chamber, known as the body. This contrasts with other uterine structures like the duplex uterus (completely separate horns), bipartite uterus (largely separate horns), and simplex uterus (a single chamber with no horns). The uterus itself is a pear-shaped muscular organ in the female reproductive system that nourishes a fertilized egg until birth. It has four main regions: the fundus, body, isthmus, and cervix. The uterine wall is composed of three layers of muscle tissue.12
