Anatomy and Functions of the Uterus by Laxman LD is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The uterus is a crucial muscular organ in the female reproductive system, responsible for menstruation, implantation, gestation, and labor. It is pear-shaped, located between the bladder and rectum, and consists of four main structures: the fundus, body, isthmus, and cervix, with three tissue layers: peritoneum, myometrium, and endometrium. The uterus is supported by ligaments, receives blood supply from the uterine artery, and can be affected by various disorders such as fibroids and endometriosis.
