* Y-shaped bicornuate uterus.
* Almost all pregnancies carried in the left Uterine Horn.
* Almost all pregnancies carried in the left Uterine Horn, which is longer than the right.
* Ova shed from the right ovary must migrate down the right Uterine Horn to the Uterine Body and up the left Uterine Horn in order to [[Fertilisation%2C_Implantation_and_Early_Embryonic_Development_-Implantation-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|establish pregnancy]].
* Ova shed from the right ovary must migrate down the right Uterine Horn to the Uterine Body and up the left Uterine Horn in order to [[Fertilisation%2C_Implantation_and_Early_Embryonic_Development_-Implantation-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|establish pregnancy]].
* In immature females the uterus is very small and can be found entirely within the pelvic cavity, whereas in mature non-pregnant females it is located in the abdominal cavity at the level of the 5th, 6th and 7th lumbar vertebra.
* The endometrium of the uterine body and horns contain no caruncles and the uterine glands are simple, branched and tubular.
