Uterus, Fallopian Tubes, Ovaries, and the Peritoneal Cavity

The uterus is draped in peritoneum but invaginates it’s body into the centre of the pelvis just like the central portion of the  flower which contains the pistil (stigma, style and ovary) and stamen (anthers and filaments). The peritoneal cavity or coelomic cavity is a large cell lined  space via which almost all the abdominal organs are connected .  It may be considered the suburban space around which the houses of the town are positioned.  The ova are released from the ovary into the space, but they are quickly directed by the fimbriae into the Fallopian tubes.

Description

The uterus is draped in peritoneum but invaginates it’s body into the centre of the pelvis just like the central portion of the  flower which contains the pistil (stigma, style and ovary) and stamen (anthers and filaments).  The delicate Fallopian tubes extend like the graceful arms of a ballerina, ending in the even more delicate fimbriae representing the hands that reach to the ovaries.  The Fallopian tubes are the pathway for the ova released by the ovaries in the peritoneal cavity and to transport the fertilized ovum to the nourishing environment of the endometrial cavity.

The peritoneal cavity or coelomic cavity is a large cell lined  space via which almost all the abdominal organs are connected .  It may be considered the suburban space around which the houses of the town are positioned.  The ova are released from the ovary into the space, but they are quickly directed by the fimbriae into the Fallopian tubes.
