Uterine horns

The uterine horns are the points where the uterus and the uterine tubes meet.

It is one of the points of attachment for the round ligament of uterus (the other being the mons pubis.

The Fallopian tubes often (but not always) attach to the uterine horns as well.

The uterine horns are far more prominent in other animals (such as cows and cats ) than they are in humans.

Occasionally, if a Fallopian tube does not connect, the uterine horn will fill with blood each month, and a minor one day surgery will be performed to remove it. Often, people who are born with this have trouble getting pregnant, as they only can once every other month, as both ovaries are functional. The spare egg, that cannot travel the fallopian tube, is absorbed into the body.
