The hollow, muscular organ of female mammals to which a fertilized egg attaches before developing into an embryo. In most mammals the uterus is divided into two sac-like parts, whereas in humans it is a single structure. It lies between the bladder and rectum and is attached to the vagina...
Superior layer (posterior portion of the pelvic floor): This layer forms the pelvic diaphragm and contains the coccygeus muscle and the levator ani comprising portions of the ileococcygeus, pubococcygeus, and puborectalis muscles. Urogenital diaphragm (anterior portion of the pelvic floor): Thi...
What portion of the uterus is composed of smooth muscle and contracts rhythmically during orgasm and childbirth? a. peritoneum b. perimetrium c. endometrium d. myometrium Identify the location, structure, and function of the following part of the female reproductive system: Endome...
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that arise from the proliferation of smooth muscle cells within the uterus, and can lead to a variety of debilitating symptoms. Their pathogenesis involves both intercellular and extracellular mechanisms, and is associated not only with the uterus, but also ...
and the ovarian tissue structure is heterogeneous, indicating the presence of ovarian cancer in this reproductive system. Abnormal spherical tissues of different sizes and degrees appeared in the uterine muscle wall, submucosa and serous membrane, respectively, indicating the presence of uterine fibroids ...

In brief, sequences were aligned using MUSCLE, trimmed with GBLOCKS, and the tree was built with PhyML. 3.3. Transcript levels of MIH, CHH, and VTG using qPCR assays The MIH transcripts of adult female eyestalks at ovarian stages 2–5 (n = 5/stage) were estimated using qPCR and ...
We prepared genomic DNA from the thorax muscle of each individual, amplified it using GenomiPhi reagent (GE Healthcare) and used it for the mapping DNA panel (n = 102). We first constructed an EST database for P. polytes. ESTs for candidate markers such as ribosomal proteins, which are ...
Surface extracts from AM contained a homolog of the actin-binding protein, calponin, which has been localized to both striated muscle and the cuticle in adult O. volvulus (71). The gAF surface extracts contained two proteins, protein disulfide isomerase and a leucine-rich repeat family protein,...
