| uterine rupture | A tearing of uterine tissue; it may be traumatic or spontaneous due to multiple pregnancy, large foetus, previous scarring, or obstruction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| uterine sinus | A small irregular vascular channel in the endometrium, of a type that forms during pregnancy. Synonym: uterine sinusoid. Uteroplacental sinuses, irregular vascular spaces in the zone of the chorionic attachment to the decidua basalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uterine sinusoid | A small irregular vascular channel in the endometrium, of a type that forms during pregnancy. Synonym: uterine sinusoid. Uteroplacental sinuses, irregular vascular spaces in the zone of the chorionic attachment to the decidua basalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uterine souffle | A blowing sound, synchronous with the cardiac systole of the mother, heard on auscultation of the pregnant uterus. Synonym: placental souffle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| uterine venous plexus | The plexiform veins that lie along the sides of the uterus in the broad ligament. Synonym: plexus venosus uterinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fimbriae of uterine tube | The irregularly branched or fringed processes surrounding the ampulla at the abdominal opening of the uterine tube; most of the lining epithelial cells have cilia that beat toward the uterus. Synonym: fimbriae tubae uterinae, laciniae tubae, Richard's fringes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower uterine segment | The inferior portion or isthmus of the uterus, the lower extremity of which joins with the cervical canal and, during pregnancy, expands to become the lower part of the uterine cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
