Study Notes

Uterine Measurements

During reproductive years, the typical length of the uterus ranges from 6 to 8 cm.
After menopause, the size of the uterus decreases to approximately 3 to 5 cm.

Cervix to Corpus Ratios

In nulliparous females (those who have never given birth), the ratio of the cervix to corpus (body of the uterus) is 1:2.
For parous uteri (those that have had one or more births), the ratio remains the same at 1:2.
In postmenopausal uteri, this ratio shifts to 2:1, indicating a larger cervix relative to the corpus.

Other Information

The term "anteverted" describes the position of the uterus where the fundus tilts anteriorly toward the top of the bladder.
The iliacus muscle is located inside the ilium, which is part of the hip bone structure.
