Sagittal
Term
This portion of the uterus connects the internal os to the external os.
Definition
Cervix
Term
This portion of the uterus connects the internal os to the external os.
Definition
Cervix
Term
This triangular area is where the fallopian tubes connect to the uterus
Definition
Cornua
Term

Definition
Myometrium
Term
List the layers of the uterine walls from outer to inner?
Definition

Definition
Anterverted
Term
What is the echogenicity of the endometrium?
Definition
Echogenic
Term
What is the echogenicity of the uterus
