The female's embryo develops in one of the uterine horns.

Once this process is underway they cannot be dislodged by flushing the uterine horns.

Because pregnancy occurs in both uterine horns, the resulting offspring are often twins.

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

In some cases, the patient may also be missing a kidney on the same side as its missing uterine horn.

During pregnancy, ultrasonography showed the uterine horns as coiled.

The round ligament of the uterus originates at the uterine horns, in the parametrium.

Uterine unicornis a condition in which the female cat is missing a uterine horn.

The uterine horns are identified and the ovaries are found by following the horns to their ends.

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

When recovering embryos at this stage it is therefore advisable to flush not only the oviducts but both uterine horns as well(see Section 2.4).

By the time they enter their oestrus period, their uterine horns double in size, and their ovaries grow 1.5-2 times larger.

In the cat, implantation of the embryo occurs in one of the two uterine horns, not the body of the uterus itself.

(i) Dissect individual uterine horns away from underlying mesentery and cut at the uterotubal"junction and cervix.

In the veterinary sciences, the complete removal of the ovaries, oviducts, uterine horns, and the uterus is called spaying and is a form of sterilization.

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.

Changes in conceptus IL-1β gene expression and ligand release in the uterine horn dramatically increase during the process of elongation (Ross and Geisert, unpublished results).

After removal of the uterine horns, conceptuses from each uterine horn were flushed into a sterile petri dish with 20 mL of physiological saline.

Studies with sheep have found that, if the uterine horn ipsalateral to the ovary possessing the CL is surgically removed, the lifespan of the corpus luteum will increase drastically.

In another study, pregnancy in females could be recognized as early as 40 to 45 days of gestation by the swelling of the left uterine horn, where 99.52% of pregnancies were located.

The equine uterus is bipartite, meaning the two uterine horns fuse into a relatively large uterine body (resembling a shortened bicornuate uterus or a stretched simplex uterus).

Male mice are treated with chemicals under test, mated with females, and the females are then sacrificed before parturition and early fetal deaths are counted in the uterine horns.

With the LEC system the balloon catheter is advanced into the uterine horn, and then, under endoscopic visison the endoscope is advanced into the tube as the balloon catheter unfurls.

Morphology of conceptuses collected following flushing from the uterine horns was recorded and conceptuses of identical morphologies were transferred to cryogenic vials, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80 C until extracted for RNA.

A bicornuate uterus is sometimes confused with a septate uterus as in each situation the cavity is partitioned, however, in the former case the uterine body is cranially doubled (two uterine horns) while in the latter a single uterine body is present.
