Answer» ________________________________________UTERUS :i)Pear-shaped organ LOCATED in lower abdomen ii)Muscles(myometrium) stretch to allow baby to develop. Oxytocin starts labor contractions. iii)Lining of uterus (endometrium) thickens with blood-rich tissue due to progesterone iv)Endometrium supports embryo/fetus during growth v)Placenta It is the interface between baby and mother. If not PREGNANT, lining breaks down and is discharged from body through vagina. This is menstruation (period) VI)Cervix connects uterus to vagina. LIKE a door that opens during ovulation.
