uterine horn

Either one of the pair of tubular extensions from the uterine body where the uterus and the uterine tubes meet; uterine horns are anterior Mullerian duct-derived structures. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the uterine horn is

Either one of the pair of tubular extensions from the uterine body where the uterus and the uterine tubes meet; uterine horns are anterior Mullerian duct-derived structures. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the uterine horn is

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the uterine horn connects to

The atlas records 7 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of material anatomical entity, reproductive system and uterus.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the uterine horn. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as cornu uteri. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the uterine horn?

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the uterine horn connect to?

Part of: material anatomical entity, reproductive system and uterus.

Is the uterine horn the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
