Womb

The uterus (from Latinuterus, pl.: uteri or uteruses) or womb () is the organ in the reproductive system of most femalemammals, including humans, that accommodates the embryonic and fetal development of one or more fertilized eggs until birth. The uterus is a hormone-responsive sex organ that contains glands in its lining that secrete uterine milk for embryonic nourishment. (The term uterus is also applied to analogous structures in some non-mammalian animals.)
