short note on
types of mammalian uteri
Answers
In mammals, the four main forms of the uterus are: duplex, bipartite, bicornuate and simplex. There are two wholly separate uteri, with one fallopian tube each. Found in marsupials (such as kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, opossums, etc.), rodents (such as mice, rats, and guinea pigs), and lagomorpha (rabbits and hares).

Latin: uterus
The uterus comes in four different shapes in mammals: duplex, bipartite, bicornuate, and simplex. [27]
Duplex
There are two distinct uteri, each with one fallopian tube. Found in marsupials (such as kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, opossums, and others), rodents (such as mice, rats, and guinea pigs), and lagomorpha (such as mice, rats, and guinea pigs), and lagomorpha (such as mice, rats, and guinea pigs) (rabbits and hares).
Bipartite
The two uteri are separated for the most part, however they share a cervix. Ruminants (deer, moose, elk, etc. ), hyraxes, cats, and horses are all known to carry the virus.
Bicornuate
The upper parts of the uterus stay separate, but the bottom parts of the uterus are fused together to form a single structure. Strepsirrhi is found in dogs, pigs, elephants, whales, dolphins, and tarsiers, among other animals.
Simplex
The uterus has been merged into a single organ. Higher primates have it (including humans and chimpanzees). Bicornuate uterus is a uterine abnormality in which the two halves of the uterus fail to fuse entirely during foetal development in some females (including humans).
