uterine cavity
Hollow within womb
The uterine cavity is the hollow interior of the uterus where a fertilized egg implants and a fetus develops during pregnancy.
This triangular space is lined with endometrium, the tissue that thickens and sheds during menstruation.
Medical procedures like IUD insertion or hysteroscopy access this space directly.
