The uterus is located in the pelvic cavity and lies over which organ?

• A. Bladder
• B. Small Intestine
• C. Kidney
• D. Spleen

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how pelvic organs relate to each other in space. In the female pelvic region, the bladder sits in front of the uterus. The uterus rests on the superior surface of the bladder, so it is positioned over it. That direct inferior relationship is why the bladder is the organ the uterus lies atop.

Other organs listed aren’t directly underneath the uterus in this region: the small intestine stays mostly in the abdominal cavity higher up, the kidneys are in the posterior abdominal wall, and the spleen is in the left upper quadrant.
