Uterine ligaments are structures that support the uterus in the pelvic cavity, maintaining its position and providing stability during physiological changes such as pregnancy. These ligaments include the broad, round, cardinal, and uterosacral ligaments, each playing a distinct role in uterine support and function.

Structures that support the uterus

The pelvic cavity is a body cavity that is bounded by the bones of the pelvis and contains the reproductive organs, urinary bladder, and rectum. It plays a crucial role in supporting the weight of the upper body and protecting the internal organs within it.

Physiological changes refer to the alterations in the biological functions and processes within an organism, which can occur naturally over time or in response to environmental factors. These changes can impact various systems in the body, influencing growth, development, aging, and adaptation to stressors.

Physiological Changes

Pregnancy is the biological process in which a fertilized egg develops into a fetus within a woman's uterus, typically lasting about 40 weeks from the last menstrual period to childbirth. It involves complex physiological changes and requires careful medical monitoring to ensure the health of both the mother and the developing baby.
