The uterus, or womb, is a pear-shaped organ located in the pelvis of a female's body. A fibrous uterus, also known as a fibroid uterus, is a uterus that contains fibroids or leiomyomas, which are benign growths that develop in the smooth muscle of the uterus. There are different types of fibroids, based on their location in the uterus:

Submucosal fibroids: These fibroids develop in the inner lining of the uterus, called the endometrium.

Intramural fibroids: These fibroids develop in the muscular wall of the uterus.

The posterior compartment of the leg contains seven muscles and can be subdivided into superficial and deep compartments.

The muscles in this compartment act to plantarflex and invert the foot. They are innervated by the tibial nerve (a branch of the sciatic nerve).

In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg – their attachments, actions and clinical correlations.

The uterus, also known as the womb, is a hollow, muscular organ located in the pelvis of females. It is where a fetus grows and develops during pregnancy. The gross anatomy of the uterus includes the following features:

Triceps brachii - Muscles

This action helps prevent any displacement of the humerus. The long head also assists with the extension and adduction of the arm at the shoulder joint. The lateral head is also active during extension of the forearm at the elbow joint when the forearm is supinated or pronated.

Gangrene of the intestine is a condition where there is death of a portion of the intestinal tissue due to insufficient blood supply. The gross anatomy of the intestine affected by gangrene includes the following features:

The muscles in the posterior compartment of the thigh are collectively known as the hamstrings. They consist of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus, which form prominent tendons medially and laterally at the back of the knee.

As group, these muscles act to extend at the hip, and flex at the knee. They are innervated by the sciatic nerve (L4-S3).

In this article, we shall examine the anatomy of the muscles in the posterior thigh – their attachments, actions and clinical correlations.

Uterine fibroids, also called leiomyomas or myomas, are growths that appear in the uterus. They're made of uterine muscle. They're noncancerous and extremely common. In fact, 75 to 80% of people with a uterus will be diagnosed with fibroids at some point in their lives

1. Size: The size of the spleen varies among individuals and can range from about 7 to 14 cm in length.
2. Location: The spleen is located in the upper left part of the abdomen, behind the stomach and below the left diaphragm.
3. Shape: The spleen is generally oval-shaped, but can vary in shape based on individual variations.
4. Surface: The surface of the spleen is smooth and shiny.
5. Lobes: The spleen is divided into segments or lobes based on its blood supply and function. The spleen has two main regions: the red pulp and the white pulp.

Fibrosis refers to the formation of excessive fibrous connective tissue in an organ or tissue, which can lead to changes in its structure and function. In the context of the ovary, fibrosis can occur as a result of various conditions, including endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or certain types of tumors.

The gross anatomy of the ovary affected by fibrosis can include the following features:

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can develop within the muscle tissue of the uterus.

The gross anatomy of the uterus affected by fibroids can include the following features:
